And here's the rest:

Alright, so that was it for a while. So that meant more waiting. I had went to sit in the sun because it was quite chilly in the shade. Next thing I know I hear, “There he is! He’s coming.” Probably within a matter of less than a second, I was up and back to my spot. I’m not sure I’ve ever moved that quickly in my entire life! LMAO! He was coming up the little hill on his skateboard. How fitting. As he walked closer, I’m not even kidding, I swear that there was just this light around him and he literally took my breath away. And that’s no joke. He’s too handsome for words. He came right to the sea of green that is The Richness.  I was happy to see that! Anyways, he spent his time with those that were in line ahead of me, kooshes, meames, lil’meames, fed and fed’s kids…etc. While he was setting one of their gifts down, he bent over and I noticed I could see his underwear. I freaked out a little and Lindz and I were trying to get pictures of it. Chris noticed so when he stood up, he pulled up his jeans and then lifted his leg so his butt was in the air a little and slapped his butt! Spaz

I was freakin out inside. I had hoped that someone had gotten a pic or video of it, but no such luck. Booo.

So finally, there he was standing right in front of me….enter stupid, babbling foolish idiot tandt. LOL! First thing I did was reach out for a hug to which he embraced me and I felt the wonderfulness that is a Chris Rich hug. It was magical. I shouldn’t have made that the first thing I did, because it just rendered me more of a babbling fool. Anyways, I ask for his autograph and a picture with him.

After that fabulous picture I asked if I could have a kiss, and he said, “Of course.” And thus his lips touched my cheek! *passes out*

I wasn’t saying much at all. STUPID ME! He was so nice about everything. Just as he was starting to move on, kooshes goes, “Oh wait, I forgot to give you something.” Oh yes folks, she hands him the Oscar Meyer Weiner whistle!!!!! He just blushed and shook his head:

Everyone was like, “Wait, we have to get a picture of you and Oscar.” So he posed with it:

Next thing I know, SweetConfections is like, “Get in the picture with Chris and Oscar Tiffany.” I turn all kinds of shades of red and oblige. Just as a put my face in and smile for a picture, kooshes yells out something like, “You have to blow on it!” OH LAWDY! I cover my face in embarrassment and turn even more RED. But get ready for this…I hope you’re sitting down….I KID YOU NOT, Chris puts Oscar up to my MOUTH!!!! I think I might have covered up my face one more time, but then was like, What the heck…so yes folks, I put my mouth on Oscar and blew as we posed for pictures! Here’s the proof:

HAHAHA! Just take a look at how red I am and look at Chris’s expression. I honestly almost died at that very moment. I just couldn’t believe that he held Oscar right up to my mouth with no hesitation. He was playing along ya’ll! I love him. I freakin love him. So in the midst of it all, Chris says something like, “I’m fine with her blowing it, just as long as its not me.” LMAO! How funny is that. So yes people, I had my lips around Oscar and I BLEW HIM! LOL!

Ok, so after all of this, I totally realize I hadn’t given him his gift yet. Oh gosh…so then I hand him my gift bad. He opens up the first gift which was a Richness trucker hat. I say something like, “Now I know you get a lot of hats, but this one is special because its from The Richness.” He’s like, “no really?” and points to The Richness on the hat in a joking manner. He laughs and says, “I’m just kidding.” Then he opens the second gift which is a dog collar for Tommy which says “The Richness Loves Tommy.” Chris says, “Aww, I love it.” Oh, here’s a pic of Chris in his hat and me in mine ( I had a matching one but with pink lettering ):

Ok, so Chris moves on and makes his way to everyone. Along the way he gets to Chas, SweetCon, Kriz and Cali…they get him on the phone with YankeeJan which I was so happy about. And I know Jan was happy about that too! 

Once Chris got to the end HE asks us if we want a group picture. Awww…yes, Chris suggested it. What a sweetheart! So he comes around the barriers, and next thing I know, I was standing right next to him with my arm around him. Lemme tell you, I was feeling ALL OVER his amazing back. Back muscles FTW! WOW! Right as the picture is about to be taken, SweetCon comes up behind me, takes Chris’s arm off of me and puts it around her. I was like, “HEYYYY!” But it was all good. I had got some back rubbin’ in and it was fantastical! So snap, snap…lots of cameras takin pics…and then Chris rides off into the sunset on his skateboard. I love him.

We all decide to go get something to eat cuz we haven’t eaten all day. We head to a wing place (can’t even remember which one at this point) and it takes WAY too long. I scarf down my sandwich and am ready to basically sprint to the venue as its almost 7pm. During dinner we find out that Sweetcon, Chas, Kriz and Cali have gotten After Party passes. We’re happy for them but sad at the same time that we hadn’t gotten any. But anyways, we get to the venue and I head to my seat. My seat was AWESOME. It was a side view, not on the floor but in the first row of the first section up from the floor. I was RIGHT beside the little outset part of the stage that comes out on the right side. That meant I could get some hand love when the Idols came to that part of the stage. Woot! Oh, I will say 2 things about the actual concert itself…during the opening number, Chris spotted me with my green glow bracelets and green shirt. He pointed to me as I waved and gave me the “I love you” symbol with his left hand.  And also, during Phil’s solo song, he came to the side of the stage and as I waved, he spotted me and I blew him a kiss. He blew me a kiss back.  So, I’m not really gonna go into a review of the concert because we’ve all heard about it over and over again. But it was fantastic. When intermission arrives, sweetcon tries her hardest to get us down on the floor. Bless her heart. She was unsuccessful but I love her for trying. While meames was talking to SweetCon about getting on the floor, Lil’meames and I engage in a conversation with Kathy, the security lady that we all know and love. She had spoken with us outside earlier in the day too. We noticed that she had just handed out some after party passes to a couple of the girls that we waiting outside with us. So lil’meames asks her if she has anymore…just so happens that she’s got 3 left. That leaves an after party pass for me, meames and lil’meames. They were supposed to be for Kathy’s aunt but her aunt wasn’t feeling up to waiting until after the show. So we thanked Kathy and Kathy’s aunt profusely. Anyways, we were super excited but felt bad that there wasn’t a pass for kooshes. She was a little bummed about it, but was happy for us.

Ok, so the 2nd part of the concert proceeded and I touched hands with basically all of the Idols during the encore song. It was awesome.

Now, once the show was over, we head over to where we’re supposed to meet for the After Party. While we’re sitting there we see some of Chris’s family. Meames gives Phyllis her Richness shirt and she just loves it!! We saw Morgan and Jackson. Jackson is a little ham! I loved him.

So, unward to the actual After Party. As we get in there, I immediately spot Chris. I noticed that they only other Idols in there were Blake, Phil, Haley and crap….who else was there? I don’t even remember. Anyways, we get in line for Chris…as I get to him I make sure to get another hug. (Again, homeboy can HUG! Mmmmmm, I love Chris Rich hugs). Anyways, I ask him to sign my Richness hat and he does. Take a look at what he wrote on it:

Yup, that’s right folks, he wrote that the Richness is #1. WOOT! Anyways, after he’s done signing my hat I ask if I can return the favor and give him a kiss on the cheek to which he responds, “Oh yeah!” LOL! Here’s a pic of that (one of my FAV pics BTW!!!):

So yeah, I get another hug from Chris and walk away. I find Phil so I can get another Phil hug. And then I notice that Haley is standing there by herself, so I make my way over to her and get a pic:

After this, meames introduces me to the DR! I tell him all about Darryl and the Tampa Hooters parties and he thanks me again for that. He also says that he had spoken to Elsie earlier in the afternoon and that she had said to say hello to all of us. 

So, while we’re standing there I remember that in the midst of all of the excitement, I never actually introduced myself to Chris. So, I walk up to Chris one last time and introduce myself. I shook his hand as I began to tell him about it and he didn’t let go and placed his left hand on top of our hands while I talked to him. That whole 15 seconds is practically a blur because he was holding onto my hands and looking me STRAIGHT into my eyes as I was explaining me meeting up with Darryl and the Tampa Hooters parties, that I’m tandt from the Richness boards, my real name is Tiffany blah blah blah. So yeah, I THINK that’s what I told him. But I’m telling you, I went straight into la-la land when he was looking into my eyes so intently as I told him who I was. He really does have a way of making a girl feel like she’s the only one in the room. It was seriously magical. So, he gives me an “Awww” and thanks me a couple of times and goes in for yet ANOTHER hug! Have I said yet how much I LOVE Chris Rich hugs. They are like #1 for real. Chris Rich hugs FTW 4 life!

And so we were on our way…we made our way outside where Fed and kooshes were waiting on us. And we made our way to Fed’s house, which is seriously way out in the boonies! LOL! But it is a beautiful house and I want to take this opportunity to thank fed AGAIN for her hospitality! You were so kind to let us stay at your house. Thanks again.

Ok, so that’s it for Cville. Wow, this turned out to be insanely LONG! Guess I’m gonna break it up into 2 parts! LOL! Man, this review is gonna make my Hampton review look piddly. I just felt like I had a little more time and a better experience with Chris at Cville because there were less people. Don’t get me wrong, I had a GREAT time with him in Hampton too. But Cville is where I got my first hugs, my kisses, the Oscar thing…etc. So Cville will forever hold a special place in my heart. Hampton for me was more about getting to spend time with all of my Richsistas and a Richbro!  But now that this review took me so long, I’m all typed out. Don’t know if I’m gonna get to my Hampton review today. But I hope that this will hold ya’ll over.

Enjoy!

Chris Rich FTW!
