In early October I would go for actress Eva Marcille. She isn't nice but was doing a meet and greet for her marijuana merch. Went in line and got the photo op. Then went to a venue for Natalie Grant. Never saw her and waited I then left assuming this was cooked. But after I left a van pulled up and she got on it before doing a photo op. PUNCH. But based on where she got dropped off at the airport, I was able to guess her flight. I went there and she was nice as can be.
Next day tried for Rene Rapp at a flight. But she was not having it and did nothing for no one. Went to Fairfax Anime Con which was very close to the airport. Got inside and tried to mooch a photo op with Mark Hildreth but to no avail.
Later in the evening I went to an easy music venue. This is more quantity than quality. I got the opening band King Youngblood. I got an upgrade with Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Derek Day, Norwood Fisher who is an original member of Fishbone, Scott Page who played with Pink Floyd, Kenny Olson who played with Kid Rock, Will Champlin of The Voice, and Roberta Freeman.
Fast forward around mid October I'm trying to get a photo op with Charlie Kirk's window, Erika Kirk. While waiting randomly spotted is Jack Carr just sightseeing. He is the author of The Terminal List which got made into a TV show. Also got Pat Eilers and Paolo Zampolli. Sadly when Erika Kirk came she was surrounded by guards. On exit they came out a different way but it wasn't much better as the same guards prevented us from getting Erika. I got Tucker Carlson who I already had.
Later that evening I went for Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords. He was also in the Lord of the Rings movies and The Hobbit. After his show he was walking around and he was nice.
Next day I start at a venue for singer Gary Numan and the band Psychedelic Furs (two originals the lead signer and the bassist). Numan is best known for the classic song "Cars". I see barely valid drummer Zack Alford walking around and get a photo op. Also saw Amanda Kramer but she declined saying she didn't look good.
Went to another venue where I got Sean Spicer and Stephen A Smith. Then go back to waiting for Gary in the evening. It was looking dim but finally see him and he signs and does photo ops. This was very good fortune because after the show ended, he only did send ins.
Leaving the venue I got Amanda Kramer, Peter DiStefano (original member of Porno for Pyros), Richard Butler the original lead singer of the Psychedelic Furs, and Rich Good. Sadly, could not get Tim Butler the original bassist of the Psychedelic Furs as he didn't come over.
There was a film festival and it starts with flights. First flight is for Zoey Deutch. I got her before so this is mainly for autographs. Got 2 things done and other photo op.
Next day starts with a flight for actor Colin Farrell. I have the photo op but I wanted an upgrade since my photo op from NYC isn't too great. Plus of course autographs. When we saw him there was an airport greeter trying to stop us. Literally using her hand to stop us and when I shoved her hand away so it doesn't come in my photo she goes "don't touch me". Despite all that got the photo op and autographs as Colin was cool.
Then I go to the venue. I missed Dianne Warren stopping but it's ok I met her before. Wait in the lobby. I see Joel Edgerton, someone whose autograph I need. Got him to sign my photos including a Star Wars photo already signed by Bonnie Piesse (which he commented on). I got another photo op as well. Elizabeth Olsen was around and people got her but thankfully I didn't need her. Went a little off site for actress Nina Hoss and she was nice. Came back to the main venue and waited for Colin Farrell and got an even better photo op. He said "didn't I get you at the airport" and I said the handler ruined it.
