Yes, that's me : )
Just in case you're curious, this is the picture I gave to Gerard to give to his mum.
The pictures Gerard autographed for me : )

How to Train Your Dragon Premiere
What a fun day! Pictures from our fun day!
After lunch we headed to Starbucks, we needed our caffeine. Some of us found a table outside where we waited. Annette came out a minute later to tell us Simon was inside! We ran into Simon... What are the odds!
YAY!!
In front to Starbucks
The Gibson Amphitheater
We had our cameras so took pictures in front of the huge posters they had all over the amphitheater for photo ops and got free drinks, candy, and popcorn.
Baylee and Jill
The girls: Annette, me, Lois, and Maree
Baylee and Jill lent us their helmets : )
We were able to see the red carpet from the inside. We spotted Alan first so we knew Gerard Butler was close by. We looked around and finally realized he was on the other side of the poster when Alan started taking pictures! LOL!
Our view of the red carpet. Alan taking pictures of Gerard and Lynn
Gerard giving interviews
After the movie, Gerard greeting fans.
We spotted Cressida Cowell, the author of How to Train Your Dragon, in the lobby also. Cressida was so great to autograph pictures and to take pictures.
The girls just said that their favorite character was Gerry. Cressida was stumped.
She said, "I don't recall naming a character Gerry." LOL!
Lois had to tell Cressida that the girls meant Stoick.

Bounty & Dragon & Shin Oh My!!
Hi Everyone!
Sorry for not posting until now. It was a long busy weekend and then I had that work thing yesterday (don’t you hate when real life gets in the way!). I was so exhausted by the time I came home last night, but I had grading to finish up. No rest for the wicked!
I had such a wonderful time! We had an incredibly successful night! Annette and I spoke to Simon the next morning. He was thrilled and thanked us for bringing the party to Shin BBQ. He's excited for next time!
Congratulations to everyone who won prizes! I hope everyone enjoys them!
Annette and I put aside the prizes for the people who didn't make it to the party.
To name a few winners: Bridget Jones, Lady Macbeth, Emily Bronte, and Punkin. We will be contacting you soon to make arrangements to send you your prizes.
We were so honored to have Marcy be our event photographer. I can't wait to see the photos! As soon as she sends the photos I will post them!
With all the events, the premiere and talk shows, Annette and I won't have our meeting until Thursday where we will be totally up the raffle money. No rest, I tell you! LOL!
I'd like to thank everyone for all their help to make the event a success!
Everyone who donated prizes,
Lois and Maree, for helping with the raffle and organizing, and driving,
Lori, for helping to get the word out about the party,
Marcy, for photographing the wonderful night,
Annette, for helping me with the party (I would have never been able to do it without you),
Simon, for welcoming us to your wonderful restaurant,
And most of all... everyone who attended the party and everyone who bought raffle tickets even though some of you weren't able to attend.
All of you made the party a huge success!
Thank you,
Joy
PS I will be adding more pictures as soon as I upload them... I have to get ready to go to Burbank for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Jill at the party. Starting them young : )
