Story: I met Topher Grace (and the rest of the cast) when I went to see a taping of "That '70s Show" (the episode "I Can't Quit You Baby"). Ok, meeting Topher was the best! When I met him: I was walking out of Wilmer Valderrama's (Fez) dressing room (he invited us in there b/c he was trying to get us into the show) and I turned the corner and Topher Grace was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME in his '70s clothes. A producer said "This is Topher Grace." Topher held out his hand to me and said "Hi!". I said hi too and shook his hand! He shook the hands of my friend, Christina and my parents and we got to take a picture with him (he put his arm around me :) ). Then he said "I'm sorry I can't stay longer but I have to get to the set." We said ok, and bye! Then after the show when Topher came up to the audience railing to sign my script, he took the sharpie I had a jokingly said, "I'm gonna steal your sharpie, ok? Do you need it?" I was completely flustered and acted like such a dork and said, "Yes, I mean no!!! You can have it!!" Then he said, "It's ok!" It was the best day of my life!!!!

Read the meeting with the whole cast: Ok, so here's the story of the best day of my life! Surprisingly, the story starts out sad! Well, what happened was me, Christina, and my parents were supposed to be on the V.I.P. list to see the show. We pull up to the booth and give the guards our names -- we're NOT on the list!! The guard let us pull up in the parking lot to wait to see if the call ever came to put us on the list. We waited 10 mins. - no call. The guard was so nice and he came over to us and gave us soda. We waited another 10 mins. - still no call! Finally, my mom got a call on her cell phone - it's the guy who was getting us in. "Sorry, they can't get in because of their age." he said. (You have to be 18 or older.) We were so sad but tried not to show it. Finally the guard came up to us and told us to just go in and see if there was anyway we could get in. We had almost given up hope. We drove in and parked our car inside the lot by studio 2. We walk out of the car....walk about 25ft. and guess who we see?! Wilmer Valderrama!! "Hey, there's that Fez dude!" my dad says. "What?!" we immediately say as we spot him. "Go over there girls, go!" my mom prompts us. We were too shocked to move, my mom took charge. "Fez! Fez!" my mom called up as she went up to him. She shook his hand. I started totally shaking! "Hi, I'm Wilmer." he introduced himself and shook all our hands. My mom explained how we had driven so far just to see "That '70s Show" and now we couldn't get in. Two producers were with Wilmer so my parents started asking them if there was any way we could get in. While we were talking to them, Wilmer started talking to us! "So are you fans of the show?" hes asked us. "Yeah!" we said shakily as we handed him pictures of the cast to autograph. Then, all of a sudden, he looks up into an open dressing room and calls: "Hey Danny! Danny, can you come out here." Danny Masterson comes out of the dressing room!! "Hi!" we said. "Can I take a picture of you?" my mom asked him. "Sure!" he said. She did. "Hey Danny, could you sign some things for these fans?" Wilmer asked him. "Sure! Bring 'em up!" Danny said. "Can we take a picture with you?" my mom asked Wilmer. "Yeah!" Wilmer said. Christina and I got a picture with him! As we were about to go upstairs to the dressing rooms we were passing their parking spaces. Wilmer was talking excitedly about his new car to my dad. As we were passing the spaces, Christina pointed to Topher's spot (I luv Topher!) and goes "Look, Liz!" "Oh, my God!" I said. Wilmer heard us and joked by pointed at his parking space and saying, "No, oh my God!" Wilmer invited us into his dressing room and we sat on his couch!! He called someone on his phone, "Hey, I have four friends that came late and now they can't get into the show.....alright, I'm just putting up a front, they just need to get in." We were allowed to get in!! (Oh, yeah and while we were in there Wilmer offered us drinks from his mini-fridge!!) Ok, now as we were walking out of Wilmer's dressing room I turned the corner and Topher Grace was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!! A producer said "This is Topher Grace." Topher held out his hand to me and said: "Hi!" I said hi took and I shook his hand. He then shook the hands of Christina and my parents. We got to take a picture with him (Wilmer was behind us but when he realized we were gonna take a picture he covered his face :) ) Topher had his arm around me!! :) Then he said, "I'm really sorry, but I have to go to the set." We said bye and then Wilmer and the producer brought us into Danny Masterson's dressing room. Also in the dressing room was Ashton Kutcher playing video games! I handed Danny my paper to sign. He gave me a huge smile and said "Your name's Elizabeth?". "Yeah!" I said. He signed it and then he signed Christina's. Then he said, "Hey Ashton, can you sign some stuff?" "Absolutely! I just gotta finish this." Ashton said. Ashton started really getting into the game yelling, "Go baby, go!!!" and "5 seconds to go, baby!!" at the video game, lol. We were laughing and so was Danny. When Ashton finished he jumped up and said "Yeah!!" Then he signed for us. The the producer and someone else told us to follow them so we did and at first we didn't know where we were going but then we entered a door and realized we were in the garage set right next to the Vista Cruiser!! We could see the audience! As we were walking up we saw Don Stark on the set (without his afro on!) We got seated. The show started and in the middle of it Christina waved at Ashton and he waved back and we waved to Topher and he waved back! :) Then, while they were powdering Kurtwood Smith's head he saw me looking at him so he smiled at me! After the show we ran up to the rail to get autographs (I think we banged up someone's knees by running up there so fast lol). I was the first one at the rail and I met Don Stark. "Hi!" he said to me. I said hi back and he signed the script I had won during the show. Then Danny signed it, then Ashton, and then Wilmer came up and I said "Thank you!" and he said "I'm glad you enjoyed the show!" Christina told him he was a sweetheart and he winked at her. Then Mila came up and I handed her a birthday card from Christina and I and she was about to sign it and I said, "Oh, no, it's a birthday card for you!" and she said, "Ahhh! Thank you! I love you so much!" and she kissed the card. Then she signed my script. Then TOPHER came up to me and since he was the only cast member without a sharpie he took mine and said "I'm gonna steal this, ok?" "Ok!" I said. He signed some and said, "Do you need this?" I said, "Yes! I mean, no! You can have it!" "No, it's ok." he said and he gave it back to me. :) Then Laura came up and my dad said to her "This is my daughter, Lizzie, she dyed her hair because of you!" (Which I did.) And she said "Hey, Lizzie! Yeah, redheads have more fun!!" And that was my wonderful, amazing, best day of my life, experience!
