Rise and shine! It's 5:00am! I gathered my stuff and set out for Regis @ 67th St. I hit McDonalds and arrived outside of Regis at 6am. I've read many stories about people that have seen Steve Guttenberg on his daily jog around this area, so I brought my Police Academy cast photo signed by 4 others JUST IN CASE. Apparently, I saw him twice... Dammit. Next time I head to NYC, I now know which corner to stand on. ;) In case anybody is wondering, stand on the side with the Starbucks... or the next corner over where the Millennium Tower is. A paparazzi told me that this is his where he lives. Apparently Regis and Howard Stern live there, too.
A new friend that I met while waiting for RDJ the previous day met up with me, seeing as though RDJ was the guest on Regis this morning. We made our way down the street to the garage area where the guests and hosts load in. Not long after, Regis showed up, simply walking across the street. Since he lives RIGHT THERE, I guess there isn't any need for a limo driver.
RDJ appeared, but didn't sign on the way in. They garaged the car. Boo. On the way out, he pointed at his watch. Oh well. Thankfully, I got him the day before! I made my way to The View, just to check it out. This was at 66th Street, and 5 blocks West of where I was. I stood around for a little while, hoping to see Hulk Hogan, but then I realized that cared more about people at The Daily Show.
I got to TDS at around 10:30am. I stood at the guest entrance on 51st Street. In case people need to know which door it is, it's the one with the blue awning... well, only awning. I didn't notice anybody on here giving people that information, so I just thought I'd help.
I got to the studio that early with hopes to see Jon Stewart or someone else from the show, but nope! I got lunch at the deli on 51st and 11th. It was a mediocre Corned Beef sandwich. I got a Pepsi, and it expired in December. Avoid it. Go to Subway at 52nd and 11th.
Anyway, I sat there... and stood there... and paced back and forth... and walked around the block... and sat some more... until 4:45pm. Yes, 10:30 to 4:45. That's 6hr 15min for those too lazy to do the math. This is how much Michael Caine means to me. At this point, an old woman came. She had to have been in her early 90s. Two guys came and waited. One of them had an extra 8x10, and offered to buy it from him. "$3?" he asked. "Sounds good to me!" says I.
There we were... the FOUR of us... waiting for SIR MICHAEL CAINE. REALLY?! Where was everyone? His vehicle came with a sign on it saying "Michael Caine. Ready To Rock." Alrighty then! He gladly signed for ALL (four) of us! The sun screwed up my picture that I took, but whatever!
And here it is... my Muppet Christmas Carol DVD cover signed by both Brian Henson and Michael Caine!
The funny part about it is, I sent this to Caine at the US address in the database. The "secretary" did quite a shitty job at it. Thankfully, it was on the blank side of the cover. I got it back about a week or so before this NY trip.
After meeting Michael Caine, I made my way up to 72nd Street to the Triad Theatre to see Michael McGlone in concert. Michael McGlone is the guy with the slicked back dark brown hair that does the newer Geico commercials. "Is Ed 'Too Tall' Jones too tall?" Yes. That guy. He's a FANTASTIC musician! Befriend him on Facebook and stay on the lookout for his updates. Here's a live video of my favorite song of his.

I made my way back down to 32nd St. to catch the NJ Transit train back to Hamilton, NJ. I got home at 3am.
The next post will be about May 10th
