It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 8 premiere

If you enjoy a combination of bathroom and self-deprecating humor then It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the show for you.  I've been watching it for some years now and it makes me bust out laughing nearly every episode.   So I went to the premiere this week to try to get some autographs from the cast.  I did well, but Danny DeVito did not show up so I didn't complete any of my cast pieces.  

Glenn Howerton was the first to sign and he's a really good signer.  I added him to my cast pieces. 



 Charlie Day is also a really good signer.  He came over twice and signed a lot. I added him to almost all of my cast pieces. 




 Rob McElhenney is just as nice as the other guys, in fact this cast would be in the running for nicest cast of a tv show.  They are all really really freaking friendly. 

 I completed this funny Star Wars trio 8x10. All the guys got a kick out of it when they saw it. 


 I think Kaitlin Olson is the funniest woman on tv.  Hands down.  She signed a bunch of these cast shots for me back in January when I saw her, so I added her to some new ones and had her sign my one 8x10 individual today. 




 Danny DeVito where are you??????  I need him to complete these six cast shots for me.  At this point I don't care what event it is.  If I hear Danny DeVito will be out and about, I will be there. 

Kaitlin and Glenn signed so much I even added them to this cast shot which was my last priority at the premiere. 

DANNY DEVITO!!!!!!!!!!

The League Season 4 Premiere


I've been in multiple fantasy football and baseball leagues every year since 2003 so of course I watch a show about fantasy football.  The League on FX is pretty damn funny, and I was lucky enough to get autographs from the entire cast this week.   I was a little worried because from past experience I knew a few of them were tough but I walked away happy and everyone signed my two cast 11x14s. 


Stephen Rannazzisi in my opinion is the best signer of the cast.  He came over immediately when we called and signed everything we had. 


 Paul Scheer is probably the second best signer of the cast.  I can count on him to sign when he's at a premiere. 


 Nick Kroll is NOT a sure thing however.  Last year he didn't sign a single autograph the whole night.  So getting him to come over this year was big.  He made a smug comment to us, but hey he signed my two photos . . . it's all I ask.  


 Mark Duplas is a pretty cool guy.  The last time I got him he was pretty strick on "one each" but today he just came over and signed my two for me right in a row. 


 Jonathan Lajoie is probably the toughest in the cast to get an autograph from.  He completely ignored the crowd of ten on the way in and acted like he couldn't hear us (he could).  Then on the way out his car happened to be parked right by us so he had to walk directly in front of the crowd of about eight.  He signed, but in my opinion the only reason he did it was because he car parked by us.


 I got a little scared that Katie Aselton wasn't going to sign.  She came out and looked like she was going to jump into her car but all of us screamed bloody murder "No Katie!" "You're the last person we need" "Please Katie".   She was actually really really nice last year, and it turned out that hadn't changed.  She came over and signed and was cracking jokes the whole time.  I talked to her about her twitter account and how she puts some pretty funny stuff on there. Follow her if you're not already. 


That's it for this one.

The Walking Dead season 3 premiere with Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Sarah Wayne Callies, and more


The Walking Dead is one of my three favorite shows on TV so of course I had to attend the Season 3 premiere to try to get some autographs.  I had a lot of cast pieces started from the Gail Anne Hurd star earlier in the week so much of my focus at the premiere was to just fill them up.  I did amazing, and the entire cast signed and signed a lot. 

Executive Producer Glen Mazara was the first to sign. 


 Then I finally got Chandler Rigg's autographs on a couple cast pieces.  I've never gotten him before. 

Melissa McBride is really nice and she signed all my cast pieces.



 Gail Anne Hurd is a Hollywood Super Producer and has a ton of credits.  So I was happy to add her to some cast pieces. 


 T-Dog aka IronE Singleton is really outgoing.  Other people at the premiere asked me how to pronounce his name and I told them I've always just called him Iron and he responds to it. 


 I was also pretty happy to add Merle Dixon aka Michael Rooker to my cast pieces.  He's back in Season 3 and I believe he's going to be a big role.  


 Vincent Ward is going to play Oscar in season three.  I added him to a couple cast pieces. 


 Jeryl Prescott played Jacqui in season one and I've never gotten her autograph before so I was excited to put her on a few cast pieces. 

 Make-up extraordinaire Greg Nicotero is a living legend, so I was happy to add him to my cast pieces. 

 I've had bad luck with Lauren Cohan and never gotten her despite seeing her three times in the past year.  So I was really happy to finally finish the Steven Yeun combo I've had for about ten months.  I also got Lauren on a solo 11x14 and a few of my cast pieces. 



 And then Andrew Lincoln signed and proved to be just as compassionate as Rick Grimes is on the show.  Andrew spends of lot of his time in England so I was trying to get as many autographs as I could.  I was able to put him on most of my cast shots that needed him and also put him on four 11x14 individuals. 





 Laurie Holden is really nice and I added her to most of my cast shots.  


 The Governor David Morrissey signed all my individuals at the past event so I just made sure he was on all my cast shots today. 

 Emily Kinney signed next and I added her to my cast pieces.


 I'm pretty excited to see Danai Gurira's portrayal of Michonne in the upcoming season, it's a good character in the comics.  Danai signed few of my cast shots and I had one individual 11x14 along so I got her on that too.


 Hershel, the man with the farm.  I'll be honest Scott Wilson's character on the show annoyed me much of season two, but I think he will become less naive in season three and start to be less of a victim. 



 Remember when Juan Gabriel Pareja and his family split from the group in Season one by the quarry, well he came to the premiere so maybe, just maybe, he gets reunited in season three.  Ya never know. 

Ah Norman Reedus, such a cool guy.  He's a great signer, and clearly doesn't mind throwing up the middle finger in photos with.  I always have a better day when I see Norman and he signed a stack of photos for me. 


 Getting Sarah Wayne Callies was also very important to me.  I had not seen her since last year at the premiere (and she didn't sign then) so it's clear she's not someone you see often in Los Angeles.  I got her on one 12x18 individual and added her to many of my cast shots. 





Alright here's my cast pieces.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed so I'm not going to ID everyone on them for the blog, I will just say all of them have most of the cast.










Super happy with this premiere.
