And They’re Off World Movie Premiere! AKA The Day I Met Colonel Mustard Mr. Martin Mull! Along With Sean Astin! Mark Moses Laura San Giacomo!

Today is what I’m calling Martin Mull day… Yep, I know that probably means less than nothing to most of you but to me… It means a lot. See Martin Mull was Colonel Mustard in one of the all time cult classics Clue: The Movie and I have been wanting to meet him for like 10 years… Oh course I need him on my Clue memorabilia, but I’m also a huge fan. Martin is supposed to be at the premiere of And They’re Off… which stars Sean Astin and Cheri Oteri.

CB was supposed to help me, but he ditched me at the last minute saying, “I’m on my way” and then not showing. Nice. Thankfully, Anushika is here with me. She’s a huge Lord of the Rings fan so she is very excited about meeting Sean Astin. As am I actually. A big thank you to all the Mike The Fanboy readers who let me know about this event as well! Gracias!

And We’re Off! After the jump!

3:23 p.m. – Anushika just showed up and of course I’m having a quick chip and salsa snack at Baja Fresh. Ah, good times… We’re deciding what to do. Wait here or head over… I did a recon mission earlier and nothing was set up yet…

3:34 p.m. – Okay we’re here… Wow… There’s nothing set up… We don’t even see any other collectors… Okay… Well.. Let’s see what happens!

3:45 p.m. – Anushika even brought her Clue: The Movie VHS! lol… She’s not just getting her autograph book signed this time!

3:53 p.m. – I have my Clue: The Movie promo mobile and my Clue: The Movie piece I’ve been working on forever! lol… I also have my Lord Of The Rings mini poster for Sean Astin and my friend’s Goonies mini poster as well. Oh, and I have my Mad Men cast signed mini poster I’ve been working on in case Mark Moses comes in.

Nothing too bad though… Mark is talking so I don’t want to bother him. It only takes one person to break the conversation and then everyone tends to swarm, lol..

4:16 p.m. – Mark is super cool. he’s just hanging out, and he is signing some things. I told Mark how much I enjoyed him on Desperate Housewives, and he was like yes… But this (pointing to my Mad Men poster)… I was like, Oh, I know… I do love Mad Men!

4:29 p.m. – Oh crap, there he is! I just stopped in my tracks… Anushika tells me I’m making her nervous lol… We wait until Martin is done talking and then politely ask him if he would mind signing. He says sure, and then I tell him what a huge fan I am an how I used to watch Fernwood 2 Night when I was a kid.

He said, “You are too young to have seen that.” I said no, they syndicated it and I used to stay up and watch it. LOL… I then went on and on about Clue: The Movie as well.

I mean like damn nice. He’s like, “I’m in a hurry guys, but okay.” Sean personalizes Scott’s Goonies poster and then signs my Lord of the Rings poster.
