So I went to Baltimore Comic Con. No one big but a couple of semi decent names. I got actors Joel Stoffer (Agents of Shield), Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica), Johnathon Schaech (The Doom Generation, Legends of Tomorrow). After this I got some comic book names that were around and I left and joined some combo hunters at a local venue just to say hi and hang out. I picked up a couple of the music names while there.
Later that evening I went to another venue for the band Candlebox. My main reason for going is because their drummer is the original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen. He only played on one album, but it is their first album and their most famous one. And I had that particular album signed by 3 members including Eddie Vedder. After him I would just need one more member. The only other person in the band is the original lead singer Kevin Martin. The rest are barely valid.
Wait for the show to break. There's a crowd. Kevin is walking away from the venue with some girls so I casually follow. Venue employees try to follow me following him but I pay them no mind. More crowd trail behind me so the employees worry about the bigger crowd over me. As Kevin leaves the venue's jurisdiction I run up and ask for a photo op. Wait some more and we get some barely valids. After this most of the crowd goes away except for myself and one other guy who is basically doing the same thing I'm doing (ie waiting for Dave Krusen).
From a distance I spot someone going into the bus I wasn't sure it was him but I scream his name! He comes over, nice as can be. Get one more barely valid and that was that.
Full list of photo ops

The next day was an airport run for Dennis DeYoung and Ron Isley of The Isley Brothers. I have Dennis but wanted a better photo op. Ron I never met. Dennis was cool as he signed and took photos. Then waited for Ron. He comes in a wheel chair. Ask for a photo op and he stands for the photo but refuses to sign.
