Super Fan, Lisa Gerry, Interviews Alex O'Loughlin

Lisa Gerry, from Moonlightline, was able to do a great interview with Alex O'Loughlin at his recent appearance at Pole Position's Toys for Tots event. She has published it for us on Monsters & Critics lovely website.

Alex was so accomodating to all his fans! He has such a crazy work schedule. You know he must have been exhausted, but he was still so sweet and available. In the interview, they discuss the hard work as well as moving to LA, auditioning, being compared to other Vampire shows, etc. Can you imagine the executives who are now kicking themselves for not hiring Alex when they had the chance?! ha!

One of Alex's quotes that I especially like is ~ “If they get this strike out of the way, sooner, rather than later, we're a shoe-in. I'm not running the network. I know that they love us, I know that they know how important the show is to the people.” You can see why *smile*

When Vivian Met Alex O'Loughlin :)

Vivian, an awesome & loyal Moonlightfan blog reader, got to met the luscious Alex O'Loughlin at the recent Pole Position Toys for Tots event. She took the time to send me her photographs and enthusiastically written story. Graciously, she is allowing me to share with all of you too. :) By the way, click on the pictures above to get a bigger version of the images.

Her story......

First off though I just wanted to let you know the event turned out well. The minute Alex walked in the door we all converged on him. He didn’t stand a chance. LOL. He was so accommodating and accessible the whole day. He never said no to anyone asking for a picture or autograph. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a sit down autograph session like the others who attended but needless to say I was able to get him to sign one for me.

I didn’t really take as many photos as some others probably did. I did however get some video footage. I took the video for my sister who was ill and couldn’t make the event. She soooooo wanted to be there. Alex was a sweetheart and when I asked if he could send a special “get well” greeting for her, he didn’t hesitate. Needless to say, she was thrilled when I showed it to her, but it really wasn’t like being there.

This was the perfect setup for the chance to meet Alex. Not a huge crowd and like I said he was really accessible. He was probably overwhelmed of how many people were there and we were all there to see him. He had no security around him at all. It was perfect. Being in a larger situation, say like a “convention” it would probably be almost impossible to have a one-on-one with him like we had that day. It was just perfect !!!! Can’t believe I was able to be that close to him. He was just a sweetheart. Bet he was exhausted by the end of the day. He was actually there from about 9:10 a.m. to 2 pm.

Don't forget ~ there is still plenty of time to donate to the wonderful Toys for Tots organization!

Off to the races with Alex O'Loughlin!

Ken Faught ( the lovely owner & President of Pole Position Raceway ) graciously sent me several splendid photos of Alex O'Loughlin at their Toys for Tots charity event today. He was very happy with the piles of toys they received and the fun day. :) Everyone I have heard from that attended the festivities have only wonderful things to say about our Alex. Words like down to earth, funny, humble, attentive... oooo yea and handsome ~ ha.... have been used several times over.

Photo #1 ~ Alex looks like he is ready to do some serious driving!

Photo #2 ~ Action! Alex in 3rd place.

Photo #3 ~ Left to right ~ Alex O'Loughlin (Moonlight's Mick St John), Chad Reed (Supercross Champion) and Kathryn Morris (Cold Case)

By the way..... his t-shirt says "I'm not Johnny Ramone."

Go to Pole Position! Not only will you have a great time racing, you will be supporting a business that actually gives back to the community.

Toys for Tots at Pole Position Raceway

I just returned from dropping off oodles of toys at the Pole Position Raceway here in OKC. The staff members were so nice. Of course, I explained that the only reason I knew about their Toys for Tots drive is because of Alex O'Loughlin and Moonlight :) We talked about the show for quite a while. I try to recruit new viewers where ever I can. It was a lot of fun. We encourage you to donate to this wonderful charity!

Reminder! You can see Alex O'Loughlin in person today :)

Morning..... I want to remind you that Alex O'Loughlin will be making a public appearance TODAY at the Pole Position Raceway location in Corona. He is going to be racing go-karts & signing autographs to help Toys for Tots. I admire him even more for supporting such a wonderful charity! Helping kiddos and having fun ~ does it get any better than that?!?

A great band of fans from Moonlightline.com will be going to the event to represent us. Yea! You know they are only doing it for us, they won't enjoy seeing Alex in person at all. *wink* I am so glad they will be there to show him (and CBS) that Moonlight fans are a caring and wonderful bunch.

Please, share your Alex stories, photos and videos. If you find yourself with an extra autograph, you can always send it to your old pal Kandye. hehehe....

We will be going to our Pole Position location here in OKC to donate :) If you are not near a track, you can use this button to contribute directly to Toys for Tots.


You can see Alex O'Loughlin at 9:30 AM today, December 2nd.

Alex to appear at Pole Position Raceway's Charity Toy Drive

Normally, around this time, I would be happy because Friday had finally arrived. Two weeks to go! At least, we made it through one long week of waiting. Since there is no Moonlight tonight, how about some positive Moonlight news :)

First up ~ Alex O'Loughlin, along with other CBS stars, will be doing his part for a worthy charity. Pole Position Raceway is sponsoring a great toy drive! All of their locations will be accepting donations. Alex will appear at their Corona, CA track this Sunday, December 2nd at 9:30 AM. That's right ~ you can see him in person AND give to underprivileged children. What a great combination! Alex, Skeet Ulrich (Jericho), Kathryn Morris (Cold Case), Stanton Barrett (NASCAR) & Mike Metzger (X Games) will be accepting donations, signing autographs & doing interviews.

If I lived in California, I would so be there :) Can you imagine how overrun they are gonna be with Moonlight addicts?!? I have faith in my blog readers. I know you will do us proud! If you go, please share your videos, photos and stories ~ I'd like to hear about it. Or, a kind soul could get me an Alex autograh too. *wink*

Luckily, they also have a location here in Oklahoma City. We give to Toys for Tots, the Christmas Connection and so on. This year, we will be adding the Pole Position toy drive to our list in honor of Alex and Moonlight!
