In early April I would attend 2 cons in a single day. CSA Show and Awesome Con. First up I go to CSA show for actors David Lascher (Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Beverly Hills 90210, Blossom) and Oliver Cooper (Office Christmas Party). Got them both and while there I mooched some sports names. Namely Jim Palmer, Phil Simms, Harry Carson, and Ricky Williams. I later found out Jim Palmer was in the original Naked Gun movie so that's a nice bonus.
Off to awesome con where my gets would be very minimal. Only name I would pay for is actress Liv Tyler (Armageddon, The Incredible Hulk, Lord of the Rings). Besides that I got TMNT comic book artist/writer Eric Talbot and a free update with Wes Johnson. Also got a free autograph/sketch from Eric.

Towards the end of April was Chiller time. I go there Friday only. I start off with Muse Watson from "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its sequel. Then Hana Mae Lee from Pitch Perfect fame. After this I get George Lynch from the band Dokken. I heard he's not that nice on the street and I got other members of Dokken so I figure now is the time.
Then Haywood Nelson from What's Happening and David Joyner who physically portrayed Barney. I had gotten the voice of Barney at Galaxy Con so I figured why not.
Then get a dual shot with Lydia Cornell and Jim J Bullock (Too Close For Comfort). Get a movie want of mine in Tomas Arana (Hunt For Red October, The Bodyguard). Then Maddie Corman (Seven Minutes in Heaven), and Gregory Harrison (General Hospital).
I get another top want of mine from Chiller, Donovan Scott from the original Police Academy. I then sweep up free ops with a bunch of people from Day of the Dead, namely Lori Cardille, John Amplas, Taso Stavrakis, Michael Gornick, Mark Tierno, and Deborah Gordon.
Then I get Terrie Snell which adds another name to my Home Alone and Home Alone 2 collection. I go to another top want of mine, Renoly Santiago from Dangerous Minds, Hackers, and Con Air. I go to the table I say hello to the person there not realizing it's Renoly transitioned. I ask here Renoly is and in the middle of he/she responding I realize it's actually him before he/she tells me it's him. I am floored.
I then get Peter Kwong (Big Trouble in Little China) who died not long after doing this con. Final person I paid for at Chiller was Bitty Schram (Monk, A League of Their Own). After Chiller I saw Chuck Zito out and about doing free ops so I got one (I never paid for him in the past so this was fresh).
