Meeting John Green at Melbourne Nerdfighter Gathering!

[markisonlin3]

Id kill to meet John Green like that. I couldn't go to Melbourne at the time because of School and that my 17 year old self couldn't afford plane tickets (I live in Adelaide he didn't visit us). I am beyond green with envy.

that pirate guy was awesome, though was it a bit strange??? (love the t-shirts by the way!) DFTBA

[RoboFillet]

Ahahaha! When I subscribed I was in the "related channels" section. Heavens above I never thought that would happen XD

[GreenCristina]

I have no idea why it's taken me a month to reply to your comments, but here goes:

- RE: shirts: =D!! I'm glad you like them!

- RE: related channels: That's amazing! I would never have imagined that either. Being compared to you is very flattering! =P

[RoboFillet]

AMAZING SHIRTS!

WANT WANT WANT =D

[0ganbay]

[GreenCristina]

=P Good pick-up. Getting that in the shot was unintentional though. I have it on my desk to motivate me when times are tough and the homework keeps a-pilin' up.

[DeltaNovemberRomeo]

Also, I saw you in the vlogbrothers video. I've got to admit I was a little creeped out at the maniacal look on your face :D

[GreenCristina]

XD I was mortified when I saw my face! I guess I was just really, really, really excited. =P Hahaha.

[F00D1ES]

U r ftw!!! I saw u at the Melbourne event, I was jealous of ur t-shirt. I'm (semi) in the video! I was the girl with the yelow Beatles bag :D DFTBA!!!!

[mskttyfantastico]

Those are the best nerdfighterly shirts I've ever seen!

[GreenCristina]

Thankyou! =D

[luchilenium]

I remember seeing you!

Fun times!

[wynflete]

What a fantastic video of a fantastic day. A good on you for getting some guy to dress as a pirate. Awesome!

Also I wanted to say thanks for being so enthusiastic while I sang the song. It really helped to see that some people were getting into it. :)

I was just wondering if I could please have your permission to grab the footage of my kids singing so that I can add some different camera angles to their video?

Thanks

-Debbie :)

[GreenCristina]

Hey Debbie, thanks for the comment! =) You're more than welcome to grab the footage, although I have the full clip of the whole song as well, so if you want that send me a message and we'll figure out a way to get it to you.

[jadeddryad]

i just want you to know that i am insanely jealous of your pirate hugging abilities. and i am seriously thinking about buying a packman shirt because i am in love with it.

[GreenCristina]

Aww thankyou! (sorry for the late reply; YouTube messaging has been screwing with me) And let me know if you buy the Pacman shirt so I can give you a virtual pirate hug. =D

[DFTBA91]

Your shirt is awesome, John wore the one you made him to the Sydney Event.

[GreenCristina]

So I've been told! I'm absolutely ecstatic. =D

[phantasma616]

omg you must've been so thrilled when he reacted to the shirt.

[FedoraPirate]

I was there; well obviously as I'm the pirate. So yeah, chears for the hug so glad it was captured on film :D

[luchilenium]

Hey, it's indoor frisbee pirate guy!

[FedoraPirate]

Months later... Yes it is!

[luchilenium]

Good day.

We should do it again some time.

Melbourne nerdfighter gathering FTW!

[OhMyAVoldyWentBy]

I was there too! I'm pretty sure I met you, but I was one of those shy and awkward nerdfighters. I saw myself in this video :)

[Courtzb88]

Such a good summary of an awesome afternoon Crissy!!

Love that you got the Puppy sized elephant song. Rhi's video ran out. :(

[valerie2776]

Ahhh the hugs were adorable! As was the Kitto children's song. Looked like an awesome time!

[woahCATH777]

It's funny when you say.

"Oh, that was me."

I'm from Melbourne too, but I couldn't go because I had to go to a funeral.

It must have been awesome!

[speak4silence]

I was there too! I was the girl in the white shirt with the dress/ aka the girl witht the gold box. you can kinda see me at 1:01

im the asian behind the blonde girl in white.

Id really like to kill the person who said "there's no swine flu in melbourne."

[Arthur40TwoDent]

Yay, looks like you had a great day. I regret not coming and having John sign Paper towns. DFTBA.

[martydude]

pacman is the shiz, urs is cooler than my pacman hoodie (from jayjays)...

[pironicpidea]

It was the single greatest hug of my life

I'm going as far as to say that

I am never washing my arms again!

[sunshineandsparkles]

lol! Thanks for putting that up! I was at the 11am session... and that now explains why I saw a pirate after I left :P

So exciting to have met John! He was is just as nice in person as he appears invideos... man, I wish I got a hug though.

Where does one get a tshirt from?

[GreenCristina]

Ah, good point! I shall put links to my t-shirts in the video description now. =)

[Triwood1973]

Sweet video!

Haha, that book signing part reminds me of a scene from "Misery"...

[britterina]

I was there up the other end of your row :) I remember thinking your tshirt was made of awesome.

Best day ever.

[4ALifetimeAndADay]

So YOU were the mystery pirate hugger!

Arrrgh, I went to the 11am one. Looks like you guys had heaps more people and a slightly crazier brand of awesome.

[izziesmagicalglasses]

BLARRRRGGGG!

what a fantastic day!

[chilli820]

I saw half my head somewhere at the start :D

[callymeow]
