This will begin where July ended (see July report). After failing on both Lil Wayne and Triple H the next day was a little bit more successful. While waiting for Lil Wayne to get on his bus I got rapper Gudda Gudda. Then Lil Wayne got on the bus and did send ins. I got 2 photos signed.
Next day was a signing for The Madden brothers of Good Charlotte. It was at a football stadium. The line was long but managed to get the photo op with both plus autographs.
Next I went to try for RFK but access was horrible and you would be stopped by security. Even tried to get Sean Duffy who was coming over then we got cock blocked. Got Kim Reynolds and Patrick Morrisey.
Off to the next spot with a bunch of actors from Twin Peaks. I had most of them but needed Kimmy Robertson (she was also in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead). After the show she actually came out to smoke so I get the photo op. Then beat the actors to the hotel and got updated ops with Dana Ashbrook and Ray Wise. Also got producer Sabrina S Sutherland (fresh).
Next is old school new wave singer Nick Lowe. Also, he was performing with band members known as Los Straitjackets. They perform wearing lucha masks. Looking them up there was one member worth getting named Eddie Angel. Both Nick and Eddie were super nice and stopped after the show.
Next day for actor Daneil Dae Kim. I have an op from long ago figured I could use a slight upgrade plus autographs. Unfortunately, they snuck him out the venue a different way and by the time I ran up to him he was in the hotel and venue security cock blocked me telling the hotel "he is paparazzi". All I got was a barely valid Chef named Danney Lee.
Furious that I was one upped by rookie security guards, I find the flight out and try at the airport. Go up to him he is cool about the photo op but doesn't sign. Off to the next spot for the Doobie Bros. Sadly I missed original member Patrick Simmons. I get the barely valid musician John Cowan. See Michael McDonald and get him although I already have him. The only other score here is Tom Johnston who is a fresh meet.
Before leaving I checked the restaurants nearby for Patrick but no luck. I end the day with another barely valid Chef named Ype von Hengst (it was 5 minutes from where I was so I thought why not).
The band All American Rejects were doing a record store signing. Tyson Ritter, who is also an actor, is the lead singer and the other bend members were there from the beginning. I got Ritter once before but could use a better shot and never got the other band members. I went there the vinyls were $50 but thankfully I managed to get the group photo op for free. Outside after the signing I got Ritter solo shot no shades.
All American Rejects (Tyson Ritter, Mike Kennerty, Chris Gaylor, and Nick Wheeler)
This day starts in an uneventful way. I wait at the hotel for the band Toto and got several people but pretty much have them. This ended my day or so I thought. Later I got a tip that former child actor Brock Pierce (Might Ducks, First Kid) was at an event. Dropped what I was doing and rushed there. Waited and 30 minutes later I met him and he was nice as could be. Also got other people at the event and mooched some food.
Couple of days later I go for the former lead singer of Pantera, Terry Glaze. I arrived 12:29am, which was a good hour before I was told the show would end. The show was over and I saw them loading the cars. The cars left 12:36. 7 minutes after I arrived. Also got his barely valid band mate John Dixon Hall Jr.
Next day I got to the airport for Alysson Hannigan. She used to be super nice but now she wasn't the nicest barely did 2 each. Then went to a hotel for actor/comedian Steve Byrne. Saw him across the street going to his comedy show and got the photo op. He was very nice.
Days later I go for guitarist Mark Lettieri. Basically because it was 15 min from my house. After his intimate show at a guitar shop, he was cool to approach.
Next day a venue for country singer Robert Earl Keen. Got his opener and he was cool as well.
The day after that a hotel for James Taylor and other band members returning from a show. I got James many times but I had unsigned items for him already in stock, so I thought I'd go. Lou Marini of the Blues Brothers was with him but I have him.
I got James' son Henry Taylor (fresh), Lou Marini (update), and Steve Gadd (update). Also got James to sign but had no need to ask him for another photo op.
A few days later I go to the airport for football player Marshawn Lynch (mainly to get a signed football to sell). While waiting see actor/comedian Mo Amer. That would be a decent get IF I didn't already have him. Marshawn Lynch comes through and is a complete dick.
Go to FairFax Comic Con mainly to hang out since it's close to where I already was. Also got whatever free photo ops I could. This included the wife of Bam Margera, Dannii Marie. I needed none of the paid guests as I have them.
Towards the end of August, I go to an early morning flight for rapper Ja Rule and his wife. Ja Rule has been in movies such as the original Fast and the Furious and Scary Movie 3. See him sitting down with his wife waiting for his plane to leave, he is nice as can be. Does the photo op and signs. I also get the combo with his wife.
Later in the day I try for Belgium DJ Amelie Lens at another airport. But never see her. Leaving the airport see track and field NCAA athlete Dylan Beard randomly. So I get the photo op (he does have a wiki).
Later that evening I attend the Martin Lawrence meet and greet. Also get the opener Benji Brown.
