The last few days of July would be riddled with failures but had some successes. First up, I would try for John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls at the airport. Complete and utter dick, cursing people out even threatening to call the police.
I would have a success that day waiting at the hotel for Styx members. I se James Young go to his bus wearing a mask and debating if I should blow my cover asking him. But then I see Tommy Shaw, I ask for the op and I score that. By then James is already in the bus so I can't ask him.
I had the hotel for some cast members of 3 Body Problems, but then found out they all checked out. I was one step behind. I tried another spot for Elon Musk and saw nothing.
A few days later I would fail on 3 different bands in one day. First I tried Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt at the airport. They had an entourage and did nothing. I couldn't believe it. I had items for Billy Joe Armstrong which was the next flight but seeing how bad this one was I went for James Iha at another airport which landed around the same time. I was right about Billy Joe being worthless, but as was James Iha who declined.
Later I tried for Blink 182 at the airport the cars snuk in the tarmac. I beat them to the hotel where they declined.
Another day On my way to AC Celeb Con I stopped by McGoobys for Lil Rel Howery from Free guy. He was cool.
On my way back from Shore Leave in Lancaster I stopped by the airport for Tim Armstrong from the band Rancid. Wasn't going to stop but ended up doing combos.
The final success of July would be at the airport for Ellen DeGeneres. She was actually nice despite her bodyguard trying to stop things. Actress Portia de Rossi (Ally McBeal) went in the car, I called her from the car windows and she opened to the door to take a photo op (much to the chagrin of the bodyguard). This is something I truly expected to go south but went much better than I would have imagined.
Final day of July I tried for Joan Baez outside a venue she declined. Only got Ari Shapiro. At the hotel I watched from a distance as she declined those that asked. I had her flight out and did not want to mark myself. But at the flight she declined as well. SMH.
