ONE WEEK OF CLINTON AND PRESIDENT OBAMA

By Unknown -
With the election heating up and being decided This Tuesday the candidates were flocking over Florida in a last ditch to grab some undecided votes in this crucial state. Hillary Clinton was the first to arrive with maybe 2,000 attending a rally and thought I would try to get her to autograph a couple of books. Some of the faithful arrived at 11 am of which were professional graphers for an event that was starting at 6. I took a chance arriving at 5 and with some know how and a lot of luck got inside and positioning myself in hopes of being successful. In short , I was able to pass the books to her assistant and shortly later were returned with a beautiful autograph.
So when my friend Rocket and I heard PRESIDENT OBAMA Was campaigning for her we thought we give it the College try and with it being held at a stadium we knew we had to get there early. And we did. The event was scheduled to begin at 1:30 so true to our word we got there at 10am. Much to our surprise so did a thousand others and we patiently waited all in an orderly line until we got in behind a group that had picked up tickets days before to have VIP access.
That did not stop us as you would imagine and with a little ingenuity we wiggle ourselves in that section not 10 feet were he was and did speak. Opening act was no other than STEVIE WONDER who played 3 of his greatest hits and that is a hard act to follow to those who loved his music over the years. PRESIDENT OBAMA gave a supporting speech for HILLARY and we were ready to hopefully get our items signed which unfortunately fell on deaf ears and off he went back to Air Force One. Though we were unsuccessful the time seeing a President no matter what ones politics are is something that does not happen every day.

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach

As millions are THE WALKING DEAD Series is followed like no other show that I can remember and is without a doubt my favorite. Now like many celebrities they only time one gets up and close are at Autograph Shows where people pay for an autograph with their favorite star. Now I can not say I have never paid for an autograph but will never pay for a photo with. About twenty " professional graphers " were prepared at a site that we all know in hopes of meeting many celebs who were attending a one day event that some of us donated money for the survivors of the ORLANDO PULSE NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING. Several started to file by including Director Greg Nictero who though in a rush was pleasant to all. Some harassed LAUEN COHAN who even barked at many "You guys are ridiculous " and signed a few with a Scribble that no one will know in a few years. I did not blame her and many of these graphers should had left her alone. If a celebrity does not want to sign it is that and har
