So I attended an event. The event had a huge list. Turns out many were virtual or not present at all, but some people were actually live and in person. And it felt like it was 2019 again! No masks, crowds, celebrities, autographs, photo ops! It felt good to be back!
I arrive and off the bat I'm on the board as I got a photo op with actress Dawnn Lewis! She is from A Different World, Hanging with Mr Cooper, among others.
Jody Watley arrives and I only get an autograph as I have a great shot from before.
Not long after Naomi Judd arrives with her husband. She is nice as can be. I get her on multiple items and a photo op.
In something rare, we are let into the event! Inside during intermission I get Larry Strickland. He is Naomi Judd's husband and he actually sang with Elvis in the last years of his life. After intermission Dawnn Lewis starts doing photo ops with people and I ask her to sign my 8x10s. She even goes "where did you get that one?".
While others like Roberta Flack, Denise Williams, Klymaxx, and The Go Gos were not in attendance, I was very happy with this more than solid haul. Especially after over a year of almost nothing.
