NYC day trip success
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 3:21 pm
So two actors I have been trying to get were appearing in plays in NYC. I tried writing to the venues. But, had no luck. So my daughter and her friend wanted to go walk around Times Square and shop. So I went in with plan to get the two autos. Success.
First I went to the Manhattan Theatre Club and after checking where they might come out. I was able to get Oscar Isaac. Could have gotten Amy Irving. But, I wanted to make sure I got Oscar. One down!
Then I went over to another venue. To wait for Ari Graynor. While waiting I got Phil Donohue (His wife Marlo Thomas is in the play). Then I got Grant Shoud & Mark Lynn-Baker also in the show. I was waiting for Steve Gutenberg. But, he snuck out using the front entrance. No big deal..I was able to get Ari. Two down with some bonus sigs.
Bonus! My daughter had gone to see "How To Succeed in Business" a few weeks ago. She tried to get Daniel. But, by the time she got out of the play. The crowds were ridiculous. So her and her friend decided to go see if they could get him. She brought her playbill from when she went. She waited a while. But, was right up front. And not only did he sign her playbill. But, she got a picture with him.
On a side note. While waiting for Ari Graynor. I see people leaving the theatre. One of those people was George Takei. I could have gotten an autograph. But, he was with someone and I didn't want to leave in case she came out. Plus, I have his auto already.
Finally, I expect Murphy's Law to kick in and receive both Oscar & Ari's replies back sometime this week.
