    “White Collar” PaleyFest 2011

     

    Just reminding everyone that “White Collar” PaleyFest 2011 will be this Monday, March 7th (7:00 pm PT) at Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. The panelists include Matt Bomer (Neal Caffrey), Tim DeKay (Peter Burke), Willie Garson (Mozzie), Tiffani Thiessen (Elizabeth Burke), Marsha Thomason (Diana Barrigan), Sharif Atkins (Clinton Jones), Jeff Eastin (Creator/Executive Producer), Jeff King (Coexecutive Producer), and Mark Goffman (Executive Producer).  Joe Henderson also announced that he and the writers will also be in the audience. For more information and to order tickets, please click here. Also, be sure to enter FESTFAN when ordering to get a discount.

    I couldn’t miss out on attending this time, even though I’ve been saving up for my upcoming NYC trip in May. I’ll be flying to CA early Saturday morning and my wonderful mom (who adores “Mozzie”) will be accompanying me. After spending our first day in Newport Beach to visit some friends of mine, we’ll be headed to Los Angeles on Sunday morning. I’ll be sure to take lots of photos as we’ll be sitting in Orchestra Front. I’m hoping I’ll get the opportunity to meet the amazing cast/crew (especially Matt!). It would also be wonderful to meet any fans on here who will be attending. I’ll be taking my laptop with me, but updates may be a bit slow until I get back on Tuesday evening for the “White Collar” Season 2 Finale. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

      Have a wonderful trip, Kelly! I really, really hope you get to meet the entire cast, not just Matt… if you do, say “hi” from fans from Poland 😀

    12. Kelly says:

      Thanks everyone! I will be sure to take lots of photos, will give Matt our love from all the fans, and will let you know how it went when I get back. I am also really looking forward to meeting Jeff Eastin. He’s been so supportive of the site since it opened. He’s such a wonderful guy!

      @Dana: I would love to record it, but I wouldn’t get to enjoy the panel as much if I were concentrating on making the video. I’ll probably make a few short video clips though. If not, there will be lots of photos.

      @Rebecca You are so sweet! I hope Matt is looking forward to meeting me as I am him. I’ll think of a question by Monday and if I get the nerve, I will try to ask it.

      @Deej: Awesome! Hope to see you there.

    13. Kim says:

      Hi there!

      I’m a big White Collar and Matt Bomer fan from the Netherlands, i first watched the show a few months ago and i’m hooked! It’s so sad that last week the finale will air and we’d have to miss the show for a while.
      I’ve been visiting your site for quite some time now and I love it! Thank you so much for all the matt information, news, photos, interviews, previews etc! I hope you have a great time in LA at the paleyfest, i’m looking forward to your photos and stories.

      Just wanted to show my appreciation!
      Love,
      Ingeborg

      I am so jealous of you Kelly! But you do truly deserve it. I mean look at this fansite! Enjoy and don’t feel the need to take a lot of pictures even though pics of Matt are ALWAYS a pleasure! I really wish I could go but I live pretty far away…It really would like to meet Matt sometime but I’d be so shy! I know so much about him but it would be so cool “up close and personal.” You’re a lucky girl, Kelly, and don’t forget it! Thanks again, Kelly. And if you get the chance, give my best wishes to Matt and the rest of the White Collar cast and crew!

    17. Debbie says:

      Have a great time Kelly! Hope you get a chance to ask a question and get some autographs. Please tell him that he’s a wonderful person and that he has fans that love him all over the world! A fan from Guatemala… 🙂

    18. Mayu says:

      Dear Kelly,
      Please tell Matt that he has lots of enthusiastic fans in Japan too!!! Although we are 6 months behind we are able to watch White Collar through a cable TV network^_^
      I hope you have a wonderful time with your trip and am very much looking forward to your postings!!!
      Last but not least, thank you so much for creating this fantastic site, Kelly!!! You are so great!!! I am sorry my English is not good enough to describe how great you are!!! I am always in awe of you!!!
      p.s. I was meaning to comment and say THANK YOU to you since I first found your site about 3 months ago. But I didn’t have courage until now… I’m very pleased I finally did.

    19. Melissa says:

      Kelly, have a great time and let the whole cast know how much we appreciate their hard work and Eastin and the writers great stories. Even if I were there I couldn’t speak up or hug anyone, so, please, do it for all of us who are not there.
      Enjoy and take care!

      Hey Kelly, if you do meet Matt and get a chance, do you think you could ask him about a good address for fan mail? Thanks.

    25. Kelly says:

      Thanks again everyone for all your sweet comments! Here is a photo of me from today. I’m doing my best to promote Matt in Newport Beach, CA. LOL! I’m blushing right now.

      @Sab: I will try, but it all depends on how much time I have to spend with him. If not, will ask him for sure in May. =)

      I love Matt’s smile in this picture. Most of the time he is just smiling with his mouth closed, but here he has a nice big smile which shows his beautiful teeth.
