Scattered meets throughout August part 2

Around mid August I would go for UB40, probably best known for the song "Red Red Wine". The current line up has 10 members, but only 4 original. The rest are barely valid. I already met 2 original members who are not in the current line up. Original lead singer Ali Campbell and Astro (who is dead). So it would be cool to add these 4 original members to the 2 I have. 

The show let up and I wound up seeing all 10 members, every one of them was as nice as can be. Success. I should add this wound up being a better deal than the $250 meet and greet because in that op you had all 10 members and weren't even next to any originals. 

The 4 original members I got are

Jimmy Brown
Robin Campbell
Earl Falconer
Norman Lamont Hassan

Before hitting up Fairfax comic con I would do a flight for the group Shalamar. Two originals members Howard Hewett and Jeffrey Daniel. I already have the third original member, Jody Watley. 

First up is Jeffrey Daniel he is dazed and confused as to how we knew he was coming and why we would want combos from him. Was super nice and even chatted with us as we explained to him where he landed and where he's playing. Also got Howard Hewett who was also super nice. And both signed. And I got the barely valid Carolyn Griffey.

Next up a venue for Christian music singer Sandi Patty. She came out after the how in the lobby and was nice as can be, along with her husband Don Peslis.

And finally a flight for Sam Sorbo, wife of Kevin Sorbo. She's not really a huge name but she was in episodes of the Hercules tv show. And since I had a flight I thought why not. She was super nice and I got a photo op with Sorbo's son who has some movie credits.
