To round off April street meets, I would get people over a span of days.
First up, I would be juggling two spots, and I would try to upgrade my Angelina Jolie shot in one of the spots.
Go to the first spot and get a few names including country singer Maggie Rose. Nile Rodgers of Chic fame declined. Go to the next spot get Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines, Cloe Kim, and others. Of course, I heard that Nile Rodgers actually stopped at the previous spot. Angelina does nothing going in.
Back to the first spot and get a whole bunch of names, some highlights include Fran Drescher (update), Victoria Monet, and Nile Rodgers who through the skin of my teeth I manage to get the op!
Back to the second spot, sadly it did not work out. Only got Edward Lee. Angelina did nothing leaving. Lea Solonga was supposed to be around, but no one saw her. I have her so no big deal.
Next up, I go to the airport for actress Yvette Nicole Brown. She was cool. Then I would do a flight for both Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas. Have Justin but need Sofia. They were both nice and I got the dual shot and autos. Unfortunately this was a very bad strategic mistake I made. At another spot a bunch of people I wanted stopped during check in. I should have been there because Justin and Sofia were going there too. In the next days I would make up most of the losses.
I then go to the spot I should have been at; I get Gloria Calderon Kellett (upgrade), Raegan Revord whom I first met as a child so this was a cool update (she is 15). I even told her how I met her as a child at the festivities of the Televisions in NYC. And I got Emily Swallow whom I never paid for at a con. Asked Jason Isaacs for an auto but he declined. Emma Kenney (who stopped while I was getting Justin and Sofia) left quickly. Waited for her to come back but she never did. Other people who stopped earlier were BD Wong and Grace Caroline Currey but I would make those up.
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas
Next up went back to the spot from the previous day. It was a rainy day. Wait and see Clark Gregg and get an update shot. Then it was go time where you had to pick and choose what you needed as they all came in at once. Thankfully I needed very little so I was able to do that (ie pick and choose). I got one of my main wants in Grace Caroline Currey, updates with Jason Isaacs, Katherine McNamara, and Raegan Revord. And I get one of my main wants in BD Wong. I got him to sign my Jurassic Park laserdisc but sadly the pen I used did not agree with the surface. The auto didn't stay. Had to rub it off. It's ok I would make that up another day. Sadly no signs of Emma Kenney and I had photos for some of the people but in the chaos I could not get them signed. After this it was off to Chiller (which will by my next report).
Next up a spot where it was barricaded with police due to protestors. So they weren't letting people without tickets in. But thanks to my on the fly improvision, I got in! Unfortunately, it didn't do me too much good cause when it broke and chaos ensued, I didn't see the people I wanted. I got 2 great names, but they were names I had. Namely Julia Fox and Lena Headey. I missed actress J Smith Cameron, I didn't see Sophia Bush (needed an upgrade), and I didn't see BD Wong or Amy Landecker (I would make up the latter two soon after). Asked Jason Isaacs for an auto but he declined.
Walk to the next spot, I see Bradley Whitford and his wife Amy Landecker. I asked them for the op they were both super nice! Bradley is an update and Amy is fresh! Got actress Ego Nwodim (upgrade), got a full body shot with Julia Fox in her outfit. Zooey Deschanel was there but didn't stop for photos. Rosario Dawson did a couple of ops but wasn't being too friendly. I already have her many times so I didn't bother. It's a shame as she used to be super nice. Ended up with updates with Justin Theroux, Judy Gold, and BD Wong, and finally got him to properly sign my laserdisc. Got an upgrade with Sofia Pernas dressed all nice. Got some political names but saw a lot of political names doing ops but I had no interest in asking them. Ended the evening with Jim Cramer (host of Mad Money).
