The Odd Couple

Twice I hung outaround the stage door of the Odd Couple trying to land some big names of their cast.
Before the show I got to meet Peter Frechette who signed a index card for me (no scan) and Brad Garrett who signed my Disney photo I made from his roll in Bug's Life. Brad is very much like his character on Everybody Loves Raymond!
After the show I hit it big. Rob Bartlette signed my playbill first. Than Matthew Broderick came out and actually stopped to sign!! He was the one I really wanted. It also meant that I met both Ferris and Cameron from Ferris Bueller! He signed my photo first then Playbill then was nice enough to sign a second photo for my friend Don!!
Brad came out and i got him to sign my Playbill and had a pic taken with him.
last but not least Nathan Lane came out and headed my way first. I had both a photo and Playbill out expecting him to only sign the Playbill, but he signed both for me!!!

I was vey happy to get all 3 of the big characters in the film, and added 3 great signatures to my dinsey character voice collection

Surprise In Person Success 10/7

I decided to take a road trip down to Columbus to see the Columbus Blue Jackets home opener. I got down to the arena around 3:45 and at 5:00 the release some tickets for $10. So while waiting in line I looked outside and see this person, and was like man he looks so much like someone on Survivor, but nobody else in line knew who he even was, but I took a picture anyways.

Well after getting my ticket, I headed over to the front of the arena where they were having a bunch of things going on for the game. Well sure enough the person was indeed from Survivor, I could belive that I was actually meeting the Rupert Boneham. Rupert is one of my all0time favorite Survivors. Along with Ethan, was one of 2 that I really wanted to meet. I couldn't believe I was actually meetin him. Was a complete surprise and definately had no idea that he would even be there.
Inside the arena Rupert was meeting with fans and I had him sign my ticket!

In Person Successes 10/6

Vince Vaughn Wild West Comedy Show

When I heard Vince was making a stop in Cleveland for his Wild West Comedy Tour, I knew I had to make my way over to the Agora that night to try and meet one of my favorite actors. After relocating where I was waiting to be closer to the back door, within 10 minutes, the man himself, Vince, popped out the door for a smoke break. He signed one item for both me and the other person standing there and signed my Didgeball photo!

Only minutes after Vince came out, Peter Billingsley joined him for a smoke break. Peter is best known for his roll as "Ralphie" in A Christmas Story, which took place right here in Cleveland! Peter signed both photos that I printed out! Video cameras were there filming Peter signing for us.

After the show let out, I managed to get all 4 regular members of the show to sign the following photo for me. 3 of the 4 guys were very impressed by the photos. Bret called the camera crew over to show them my photo and they even filmed it...so maybe this photo will make their movie!!
Here is a pic of Vince after the show has he met with fans!! I tried to get another photo signed by him but he said he could only sign one per person....bummer...at least I got one signed! All around one of the best in-person experiences I have ever had!!
