※Kate Moennig at the Premium Fan Conference in Tokyo

Yesterday was a day to remember.

With a press conference in the morning, a Premium Fan Conference with TW readers at noon, and an interview shortly afterwards, Tokyo Wrestling spent most of the day indulging in the company of Katherine Moennig, which was - to say the least - very HOT! Over the next few days, I will update the Tokyo Wrestling website with our interview with Kate, a video message, information from Kate's press conference, and some behind the scenes details, but for now I'd just like to quickly let you know the scoop on our Premium Fan Conference!

First of all, I would like to thank the Tokyo Wrestling readers that we invited to the Fan Conference yesterday for receiving Kate so warmly and with such terrific manners. Each of you were so polite and kind, and Kate told me during our interview that she was really touched by your consideration. Thanks to you, Kate can head back home with a wonderful impression of us here in Japan! Also, Kate gave me a special message for all our readers who unfortunately couldn't be with us yesterday. I will post it shortly, so please keep an eye out!

The Premium Fan Conference began with Kate walking out as the opening song for The L word's Season 2 was playing. Our fans began to cheer and the heat in the venue immediately picked up! When telling everybody about her arrival at Narita airport Kate happily shared, "After an 11 hour flight, I was a bit shocked to see so many people! I was a little taken aback. I had no idea that would happen. It was very sweet. It was very kind of them."

Apparently, after arriving in Tokyo, Kate went to see Harajuku, Naka-Meguro, and Ebisu. She also made a point to see Meiji Jingu - which is absolutely charming! This is Kate's first time in Japan, but it was clear that she already has a special affinity for the culture, people, and food. When asked what her favorite kind of sushi was, Kate replied, after giving it some thought, "Toro" - which stirred giddy bursts of joy from her fans.

While her cool is undoubtedly the most striking part about her, Kate let her fun side show with a winning grin after she accidentally hit herself in the mouth with a microphone when answering a question.

One fan was chosen by a drawing to read a handwritten fan letter and, though the initial plan was that the two would then shake hands, our lucky girl got not one, but two hugs from Kate! Kate even put her arm around her for a special photo of the both of them. It was a heart-warming moment. And the warmth didn't stop there. On her way out, Kate shook hands and sweetly said good bye to each of her fans. We were all overjoyed to see everything go so well!

Also, if you would like to know more about upcoming articles on Kate, this is your lucky day! You will be glad to hear that several writers I met at the press conference will be keeping me up to date on future releases! I'll be passing information on to you as I get it, so be sure to check back!

Also, Tokyo Wrestling is now being inundated with emails and messages on Mixi from fans who want to know more about when Kate will fly back to the States. Since, it's impossible for us to answer each of you one by one, I'll be answering here. Kate's return to the US will not be a public event. To respect her privacy, the media is not being given any information, meaning that we have no details to share here at TW. Please understand and wish Kate well from wherever you already are.
