Meeting Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell was in Westwood at Red Mango for Invisible Children.

In the spring of 2003, three young filmmakers traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these boys from Southern California discovered a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them, a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims.

After returning to the States, they created the documentary “Invisible Children: Rough Cut,” a film that exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda.s night commuters and child soldiers.

The film was originally shown to friends and family, but has now been seen by millions of people. The overwhelming response has been, “How can I help?” To answer this question, the non-profit Invisible Children, Inc. was created, giving compassionate individuals an effective way to respond to the situation.

and now, onto the pics:

Kristen when she first arrived at Red Mango. There were about 50-60 people in line at this point. It was a pretty small event.. I also didn’t see it advertised that much (I only saw fliers the day before)

Signing autographs for the kids. she is wearing Invisible Children tank top now over her summer dress.

Kristen and a very star struck me :D she was soOOo tiny!! I am wearing flip-flops here while she is wearing 4″ heels in this picture. i’m about 5’3″ or 5’4″ so she’s probably about 5’1″ – 5’2″?

my autographed Veronica Mars season 1 DVD. Kristen was very nice when i asked her to sign the DVD :) maybe someday I can get the autograph of all cast? wishful thinking, i know.

remember that i bought my camera after seeing Kristen Bell over a year ago? I suppose my camera has fulfilled its duty now :D
