September starts with an event of largely Spanish speaking people. I arrive and just missed basketball player Carmelo Anthony. No biggie as I don't really care for sports and he wasn't that accommodating to begin with. Not long after I arrive John Leguizamo shows up and I get a combo. Lost count as to how many times I've seen him. Next up get Harvey Guillen (again a repeat). Next up get "actress" Nava Mau.
Then Venezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herrera, who is super nice and seems super healthy at 85. And after that my top want for the night, actor Danny Ramirez from Top Gun: Maverick and Falcon in the MCU.
It is smooth sailing from here as I get 80s singer Lisa Lisa, ER actress Lisa Vidal, Cuban singer Cimafunk, actress Paulina Chavez, and actress Annie Gonzalez.
This Latin boyband called Morat comes out. Never heard of them, but when in Rome. So I got the op with all 4 members. One singer I didn't see or spot is Nathy Peluso. So I would have to do the flight the next day.
Full list of photo ops
Autograph
Next day at the airport wait for singer Nathy Peluso. She is cool as she does photos and signs. Go to a venue later and wait for Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. Get the combo.
Next day I go to the airport for singer Bruce Springsteen. Due to parking fumbling I miss him during the day but I go back at night and he did a combo. This is my third photo op with him but my first without either hat or shades. I guess I can stop asking him for ops going forward.
Back the next day to the same spot as Bruce, 3 original members of Deep Purple. Roger Glover, Ian Paice, and Ian Gillan. I wait then see the car. As I go there I unfortunately see Ian Gilian at the door. Try to call for him but to no avail. Then I get Roger Glover who is cool for the op. I start getting yelled at by the staff. But I manage to ask Ian Paice as I am getting yelled at and he does the op. I guess 2 out of 3 (including the lead singer) is pretty good.
Basketball coach Dan Hurley is in town. Since he was on Monday Night RAW I figured I'd go get him. I also got 2 players while waiting. Dan was nice and did the op and autographs.
Around mid September there was an even with Glenn Youngkin. He may run for VP in 2028 and it wasn't far from my house so I figured I'd go get him. After the event I got an op. Although in hindsight this effort would be a waste because I would see him in a rope line in the future.
In mid September I would go for the music duo Tag Team, best known for the song "Whoomp! (There It Is)". After the show we followed them and they let us in their VIP room where they signed for us and did ops. Super nice people.
