I <3 Yvonne Strahovski
I woke up this morning (after being left at the hotel yet again by Lykaon) and realized that today was the big day! I was finally going to meet the lovely and talented Yvonne Strahovski.
Lykaon woke me up at a painstaking 6am to make sure I was ready for the big day. We then headed down to Port Imperial to catch the Ferry.
We got to the convention center at 8am and were saddened to learn that we weren’t allowed to wait in line specifically for Yvonne until 10am.
So we sat. And sat. And along the way we met a very nice professional photographer, and a couple of Strahotski.com readers, Carastille and Reen426.
The time finally arrived and we got a seat in the fourth row; plenty close to Yvonne.
After a Chuck recap, she came in and wow. I know I’m just a bear, and partial to the bear ladies, but Yvonne was stunning. I didn’t know humans could be that pretty!
I was really nervous. What if she didn’t like me? What if she had another bear in her life?
The Q&A session started and Lykaon jerked me up (with little a care for my well-being). Second in line. This was going to be good.
Lykaon got the mic and started by introducing himself as the webmaster of the site. Yvonne said, “WoW.” (Lykaon tells me there is audio that he’ll put up on the site later.)
He offered me up to her and there was a few moments of confusion, since no one knew the protocol for delivering a bear to a pretty lady.
Finally, the witty Chris Fedak had the answer — “Throw it!”
And there I was hurdling through the air until Mr. Fedak finally caught me. And then he handed me over and I was face to face with Yvonne. I had finally made it home.
Later in the panel someone asked her who her craziest fan was and she held me up stating, “Probably the guy who made this site!” (She’s right, he is pretty crazy.)
This will be my last blog for Strahotski.com since I have a big life ahead of me now with Yvonne. Thanks for all of the support!
Lykaon says that when he gets home to real internet he will provide even more info and lots more pictures of both me and Yvonne. Look for it today or tomorrow!
Goodbye! Wish me luck with Yvonne!

Good luck Mr. Bear!

You will be missed Strahotski Bear! Keep Miss Strahovski safe!

I shall thoroughly miss Strahotski Bear, and wish him a great life with Yvonne! And from what I saw, she seemed amused and entertained by him, so I’m sure she loves him much.

So long Strahotski Bear!
February 8th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Good luck, Bear!
February 8th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Good luck with Yvonne and I’m happy that Lykaon got you to her.
February 8th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Didn’t I tell you NOT to throw him? Oh well, at least he got to her. I’m gonna miss him though. He was funny. Glad you made it safely, Lykaon!

Hah, bye bye little guy! Enjoy life with one of the most beautiful women in the world.
February 8th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Congrats, S. Bear! And congrats to Lykaon, too; it’s been a long road since this site was conceived, but you’ve kept at it and have accomplished great things!

I was there and I have it video haha. The panel was a lot of fun.
February 8th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I’d love to see the video of my question and her reaction to the bear. It all happened so fast and I was so nervous, that I just went back to my seat and missed most of her initial reaction.

Looks like I was right. Enjoy yourself Mr Bear!
February 9th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
And congrats are in order for Lyakon. I for one would not have the cajones to stand and do that.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
lykaon and mrs. lykaon did you guys tie down strahotski bear to the railing?…lol…or was mrs. lykaon there on standby just in case he fell over?
February 9th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
That picture is great because it looks like Strahotski Bear is just balancing on the rail!
In reality, though, his leg is underneath that rope you see under him so he wasn’t going anywhere.
I would have cried if I lost Strahotski Bear in the Hudson River. That would have totally ruined my trip.

Congrats Strahotski Bear! Good to hear you made it to Miss Strahovski. Even though we have only known you for a short period of time, you will be greatly missed. It helps to know you are in a better place with the lovely Strahovski. Live it up, Buddy!
