My encounter with Katie Holmes in Toledo
news.accesstoledo.com
I live in Toledo, OH, where Katie is from. In Toledo (population of about
420,000) there are about 2 degrees of separation between everyone. I used
to date a girl who went to her school (at Notre Dame Academy on Monroe and
Sylvania), know girls from her class, know a girl who used to be engaged to
her brother Marty, and even a girl who's boyfriend cheated on her w/ katie
in 8th grade or so. Heck, I even pass by her house (her parent's actually)
on the way to my work everyday. One other girl I know who went to the rival
Catholic girls high school, St. Ursula said Katie's friends would pressure
her (katie) into making fun of my friend in their grade school (called
Christ the King).
I know that Katie has a reputation of being very sweet and down to earth,
but my brief run in w/ her wasn't so pleasant.
It was a day or 2 before thanksgiving of 2000. My brothers, a couple of
friends and I had just come from a funeral and decided to stop at a bar
called "Arnies," which is near my house. After having a few beers, I was
walking to the end of the bar to talk to a couple of girls I knew. Standing
in front of the jukebox were 3 girls. The last girl I thought was pretty
cute, so being the "charming" guy I am, I complemented on her "buddy holly"
type glasses by saying "hey, nice frames!" (note: i was being sincere)
When I reached the end of the bar where my 2 friends were, they asked me
"what did you say to her?"
I told them and they said "You know, that's Katie Holmes, and she just gave
you the dirtiest look."
Now, for a moment, I was confused, because at that bar, my brother and I
refer to one of the bartenders as "fat Katie Holmes" (this girl is really
cute though and not fat, just compared to kt). So, I thought for a second
that was who they were talking about. Little did I know, they actually
meant the real Katie Holmes, only I didn't recognize her because of the
glasses and the way she was dressed (white button-down shirt and
jeans..kinda frumpy haha) She usually comes to Toledo for the holidays and
was home for Thanksgiving. Of course I was in awe since I was a fan of
hers. She was there w/ a lot of her high school friends and her sister. No
one was bothering them, although a lot of people in the bar were taking
about her and watching her. She seemed like a normal person having a good
time, laughing, etc. Now, on the way out when she was leaving, I said "Hi
Katie! You know, I really loved you in the movie, 'GO.'" After I said that
to her, she looked at me like I was the biggest scum on the earth and gave
an insincere and cold "thanks." and left. Keep in mind, I was dress in a
shirt and tie since I came from a funeral. It was almost as if she didn't
know how to handle fans or something. I felt like a real ass after that,
especially after having to build up the nerve to talk to her. My friend
Juliana said that a woman she knew who is active in the Notre Dame (her old
school) parent's club (and is very respected in the school community) asked
Katie for a signed picture for an fundraiser. I was told that Katie said
coldly "you'll have to talk to my agent for that." The fact of the matter
is, I think that even if she wasn't famous, she would be snobby because she
is a private school girl from a rich family. Some other people I know that
know her say she actually is really sweet, but I wasn't convinced one bit.
Who knows, maybe she was having a bad night or something. Hopefully I'm
wrong. Sorry if I'm raining on anyone's parade? Has anyone else here ever
met her? Comments, opinions?
I'll post again on my next sighting which is bound to happen sometime.
take care,
cps :)

your first comment the wrong way. Famous people draw all sorts of
scum and hear all sorts of remarks, so her instinctive reaction was to
think of you in those terms. Maybe 'frames' she associated with
something about her body. Who knows. Whether she is actually really
nice or not, I don't know. But in your specific case, she probably
took it wrong, and maybe she was having a bad day. Remember these
people were 'normal' originally, and becoming famous, they get all
kinds of sick fanmail, stalkers, gossip paper reports hassling them.
Yes, they get paid a lot and are adored, and that is nice, but the
flip side is that they have to deal with a lot of crap as well.
Saying all this, I'm not lumping you into a bad catagory, just stating
that what you said, while innocent, she thought different. Poor luck,
if you had a better line, maybe you could have picked her up! :)

probably just a bad day. When you hear two, yeah, maybe it's another bad
day. But when every single story about a fan meeting her is negative, one
starts to wonder whether her so-called "sweet" persona is real, or whether
it's just a facade for the TV screen.
Come to think of it, I haven't heard a single positive fan encounter with
Katie in God knows how long. It's enough to cost her fans.

I saw some shooting going on on 7th Avenue. There were 2 gals standing
there. I asked what's up and who is going to show up. She (it was Katie I
later learned) said it's some movie and some small stars are going to show
up. A very sweet black girl standing next to Katie said that this girl is
Katie Holmes from Dawson's Creek. Being born up 7 oceans away from here and
seen Dawson's Creek just once, I said it's nice I am meeting a TV star. She
was soooo nice. I asked her for a pic w/ her, which she complied by. I can
post it to make Nazgul further jealous ;-). She said my digital camera was
nice. I showed her pic. And, thank God, I didnot say what I was going to say
"Please give ur email address, so I can send this picture to u". She might
hv thought it was cute or might hv turned away from me. Anyway, thing is we
parted on a good note. Today, I talked to my colleagues and saw a spate of
websites and fansites and am feeling fortunate about this incident.

i saw her on university st. near mcgill campus while she was here in
montreal filming Abandon. she was talking to some fat stage hand guy and as
i was walking by her i said "hey katie"..no response. so i slowed down a bit
(respecting a safe distance from her) and said "hello katie" again..a bit
louder. zilch! man..that was rough. it happened in mid may and nearly ruined
my entire day.
people say she's 5'10 or something..i doubt that. i was practically eye to
eye and i'm only about 5'8. btw..she was wearing a very light white tanktop
with jean shorts (not too short). she looked incredible..:). not an ounce of
fat!

> What is the street name of Katie Holmes?
Sorry, I'd rather not say cuz as far as I know some wierdo in this newsgroup
might stalk her family or something. I will say this though, it is in
Sylvania, a suburb of Toledo. Actually, their house is on kinda a busy
street. It looks like an older style home, but really is big and nice.
Very little privacy though. They even have a swimming pool that is visible
from the street (they're on a corner lot) and the only fence they have is a
one of those iron one's (like at a cemetary), so you can see in the back
yard. Rumor has it she bought that pool for her family. I was driving by
there on my way to work around mother's day this year and thought I saw
Katie standing on the front steps. I am not positive it was here, but
pretty sure. Like I said she comes home to Toledo a lot.
Best regards,
cps :)

You can count on that... not necessarily a wierdo from this newsgroup, but
somebody on the internet... in fact, thanks to one of them, I've seen
pictures of the house... and just to see if you, or the pictures, are
legit... what color is her neighbour's barn?
luke
but could you just confirm that it (street name) begins with "c"?
This is enough to me.
As you can see I live in poland so there is no chance i'll arrive there.
Thanks.

"even a girl who's boyfriend cheated on her w/ katie in 8th grade"
This intrigues me. Are we talking a date and kiss, or was sweet
little ol' Katie sexually active in Jr High? Which wouldn't surprise
me, it seems every actress I've ever heard of was sexually active at
age 14.
But she did choose to go to an all girl's Catholic High School, so
perhaps she repented of her wicked ways... at least until she decided
to star in an erotic asphyxiation snuff film.
Sorry, I loved seeing her nude, but I don't like films where they
kill the pretty naked girl.

You know about that bigass barn that the neighbors have LOL. I can tell you
that it's red and restored. I could even tell you what kind of cars the fam
drives. Believe me, Im legit and i've lived in Toledo all my life (dammit).
Are you from Toledo too? I'll post some of the pics from the bar I saw her
at....

You may be confusing that street with their son's. You see, there is
Martin Sr. and Martin Jr. and both are attorneys here in Toledo. It
probably wouldn't be hard to find the parent's though.

Well, the girl didn't really elaborate...but I assume it was just some
harmless kissing. I haven't heard anything about her being promiscuous or a
slut or anything. As far as I understand it, she was more on the quiet
side. I should ask around though.

imaging too many kids making that choice... Although... those hats the nuns
wear are pretty sexy.

We have a winner! Yes, it's a red barn... and, as of a year or two ago,
her dad should be driving a caddy. I'm not from Toledo, but a year or so
ago, some idiot grabbed a bag of garbage from in front of her house and was
trying to sell it on ebay... including pictures, blurred out, of him or his
friend actually taking the bag and included little arrows pointing at the
barn and the car. I saved a copy of the page, which was taken down by ebay
a few hours later, but I may have lost it in a hard drive crash a couple
months back.

Just a followup... I just searched my hard drive and found the ebay page.
It was put up at the end of October back in '99. The barn looks like it is
actually red on the top and white on the bottom, but the guy has some many
arrows pointing to the "red" barn that it stuck in my mind even after all
this time... too funny... but it does have to suck to have to deal with
crap like that.
luke
could you write to me, please? There are some questions I'd like to
ask you privately. I could write to you but your e-mail address seems
to be dummy, doesn't it?

That barn is not even on thier property, but the neighbors. Could you post
the page here? I think it would be cool to see.
