An A-list in person street meet in 2021!
So in 2021 I ventured to a spot for actor Denzel Washington. I already had a photo op pre virus, but I figured I could get autographs. It was a fairly public spot too. Plus there were other smaller actors I wanted to try for, namely Chanté Adams and child actor Julian Vidaurrazaga.
Arrive and not too long after the spot ends and they start to leave. First Chanté Adams comes through wearing a face shield but she denies any photo ops. Then comes Julian. He seemed confused why anyone wanted a photo with him. I asked if he could remove the mask but his handler said he couldn't. I got a mask shot which I consider completely worthless. Though technically this is my first street photo op of 2021.
Photo op wise this is officially a bust. This photo op with Julian serves no other purpose than historical documentation of something happening.
Denzel then starts to leave and tells us to meet him by his vehicle. He signs for me and one other and takes mask/car photo ops with everyone.
This officially marks my second in person autograph of 2021.
After I got Denzel I got a photo op with an extra named Lucky Harmon. He removed the mask but wanted to distant. This officially marks my first no mask street shot of 2021.

First con of 2021, first photo ops of 2021, second ever virus era con
With February coming to an end, I attended my second ever virus era convention and first ever convention of 2021. Super Mega Show in Wayne, NJ. My main wants there were two of the orphans from Annie. Namely, Rosanne Sorrentino and Toni Ann Gisondi. Nothing big but in virus times beggars can't be choosers.
Arrive at the con and the parking lot is PACKED! I wait for someone to leave and finally get a spot. I enter and go for the Annie guests. I got a no mask shot with them and got my Annie laserdisc signed (already signed by Carol Burnette and Aileen Quinn). Main reason for coming is out of the way. First photo op of 2021.
Next up I get Bernnadette Stanis from Good Times. I mooched a photo op at a con in the past, but she is not next to me in the photo op. She is next to another cast member. I also had a splitter here. So I figured why not split the shot and upgrade.
Then I get Dee Benrey from Warriors. She seemed a little weirded out that I wanted a photo op which is strange considering she is at a con. At first I asked for no mask. She agreed and she thought I wanted a picture OF her. When she realized I wanted to get in the picture she begrudgingly agreed but wanted to go outside. After struggling to get an acceptable pose finally getting the photo op she asked what I do with the photos. Again, all baffling considering she is at a con with a sign stating autograph and photo op prices.
My final photo op is Vic Mignogna. He is apparently huge in the anime sector. Everyone goes crazy for him. He had the longest line here with people getting multiple autos. He also had several sexual accusations against him which got him banned from many anime cons. Since I had someone willing to split the op (who by the way met him multiple times in the past) I thought I'd do it for shits and giggles, even though I'm not really familiar with his work. He had a transparent mask and he removed that for ops.
Here are photos of the crowd, along with the photo ops I got and the signed laserdisc.

First in person meet of 2021: The hottest Internet meme!
I embarked on my first ever in person meet of 2021, and my third ever airport meet since April 2020.
It is none other than the hottest Internet meme himself, Barnie Sanders.
We are two and we wait. He comes out escorted by security and begrudgingly does one per. I didn't bother to ask for a photo as I didn't want to push it plus he's wearing a mask and I already got a photo op from before.
