Boardwalk Empire event

Boardwalk Empire was having an event on Thursday night and I had to go when I saw that Michael Kenneth Williams (aka Omar Little from The Wire) was going to be there.  Yeah Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Kelly Macdonald, and others were going to be there but I was way more excited to get Omar's autograph.  And I left the night totally satisfied with a pile of Omar 11x14s. 


 Michael signed seven individual 11x14s for me all images from The Wire and I also added him to my Wire cast 11x14 signed previously by Andre Royo, Glynn Thurman, and Chris Bauer: 

Vincent Piazza was strange about signing and didn't seem into it.  He just acted kind of erratic with the way he signed (bouncing around with no discernible pattern), but he signed my two 11x14s I had along so I'm not complaining. 





Kelly Macdonald was really nice and signed a lot.  She was the only one the entire night to start on one end of the crowd and work her way all the way to the other end.  Everyone else just hit one area signed and left. Kelly signed the three 11x14s I had along and I probably could have gotten more if I had them.





Michael Shannon is always a phenomenal signer and tonight was the same.  He racked at multiple times of the night.  He signed my two 11x14s.






Michael Pitt signed and was pretty cool about it.  He has a sloppy signature, but hey it's his signature.  He signed two 11x14s for me and I could have had many more but two was all I brought. 



Gretchen Mol signed and was pretty nice about it.  Her publicist really made you work for it though if you wanted more than one.  I had to move all the way down the line to get a second one. She signed two of the four 11x14s I had along.  




Michael Stuhlbarg signed, but was not that cool about it.  I'm not sure if he doesn't like crowds, doesn't like signing, or what is was but the guy blew off me and my buddies at numerous occasions throughout the night.  I got one signed by shear luck when he first came over to sign. 



I did not get Steve Buscemi once again, I've seen my three times in the last year and never gotten him.  To be fair he signed a few but I just wasn't able to get one personally. 

But hey, I didn't really want Buscemi all that bad anyway.  I got Omar freaking Little.
