Shortly before going to NYC to the festivities of films, I would have a couple of good meets. First up I went for Roseanne Barr. I arrive and miss the director, but Rosanne herself arrives and is nice. Sadly, she has shades and a cigarette. She also refuses to sign items with John Goodman. After she enters, I leave to move the car, and I heard she came back out no shades. PUNCH.
I attend the event then after the event I get director Joel Gilbert. Then after that I get a perfect shot with Roseanne Barr. I get some others from the event as well.

Next day I go to a spot for actor Cole Hauser (Pitch Black, Yellowstone) but there's nothing there. I must have missed him. But the day after an event of his is discovered. So, I go there. After the event I score a photo op. Then go to the airport for actor Noah Wyle flying in. He is with his mother and signs. I also get an updated photo op.

After the festivities of films in NYC it is mid-June I went out to try to get singer Avril Lavigne and Jon Anderson of Yes fame (He sang the song Owner of a Lonely Heart). Sadly I couldn't find Avril Lavigne. But I went to an easy venue and got old school Jazz pianist Monty Alexander. He came out after the show and was very nice.
Next went to a hotel and got a bunch of Skateboardists I never heard of. And at the end of the evening after Jon Anderson's show, beat him to the hotel and he was very nice about photo ops. Success!

Couple of days later I hit up Ringo's All Star Band over a 2 day span. First day coming back from the show and second day for check outs. My main goal is Colin Hay. Sadly he has the mask and ignores both times as he goes in on Day 1 and as he goes in the van on Day 2. I get other members but no one big that I didn't already have.
Couple of days later I went to the airport for singer/songwriters Janis Ian and Janiva Magness. First up was Janis. She was cool as she took photos and signed. Next up was Janiva who was shocked we were waiting to get ops. After this double success went to a venue for Hootie and the Blowfish guitarist Mark Bryan. I already have Darius Rucker so made sense to go for him. After his show he met fans and was nice.
Next day starts with some basketball flights. I wanted to get George Gervin whom I missed out on in the past. But also for Clyde Drexler who has tv credits. Calvin Murphy is also on the same flight.
From the flight I get combos with Calvin Murphy and George Gervin (both on blanks) but sadly Clyde Drexler declined saying "at the game".
Off to the music event. During the event I get Asha Puthli (fresh), Janis Ian (who remembered from the airport), Melba Moore (update), Regina Belle (fresh, A Whole New World, 1992 Disney's Alladin), and Janiva Magness (who also remembered from the airport).
On exit I get Brenda Russell (fresh), Regina Belle again (this time I get her to sign CD covers for me), and Claudia Jordan (update).
Vicki Peterson and rapper Yo Yo were slated to show up but didn't (I have Vicki anyway)
Next day went to the airport for actress Jennifer Connely. Thankfully I got the photo op in NYC years ago so this was mainly for autographs. While waiting actor/comedian Henry Cho is randomly spotted and I get a photo op. Matt Vinson and Nicholas Falk of the band Caamp are spotted and I get the photo op. Sadly Connely is being nasty and her son cursed me out. So that wasn't happening.
Go to a venue for country singer Pam Tillis. First, I see others in her show namely Ivy Phillips and Kaitlyn Felicia Connor. They were very nice. Soon after Pam is seen simply walking to the venue and is nice as can be.
Next day another flight for Ice Cube. This is also mainly just the autograph. Ice Cube isn't very nice but I follow him along with some kids and while in line he finally picks up a sharpie and I get an autograph. Success.
To round off June I attend the only con for the month, CSA show. I get a few sports names for free including Anthony Munoz who was in a couple of movies.
