FANBOY FAIL! Getting Shafted By Vacation Star Christie Brinkley After Her Performance Of Chicago At The Pantages Theater.
You know this happens to me all the time, I keep hearing, “Oh, she’s so nice!” or “OMG! He’ll braid your hair, he’s so cool!” And then, I go out to try and meet someone who is oh so nice and disaster! Sigh.. Perhaps that’s a fanboy curse?
I kept hearing over and over, Oh Christie Brinkley is hyper nice, so cool… Etc… and so, I was like…”I have to get my National Lampoon’s Vacation poster signed so I better go…” well… Disaster.
It’s like this. It’s me, I feel it. By the time I got there and found parking… Oh, I should mention that Christie Brinkley was in Chicago, the play not the city, at the Pantages theatre in Hollywood. It’s a limited engagement and so I figured I better head out before the holiday weekend and before my mom gets in town.
Yep, Mama Fanboy is in La La Land. lol…
Anyway, I’m obsessed with the Vacation films, and Chevy Chase in general. I know, I know, go ahead and make fun of me. It’s fine. LOL… And no I haven’t seen Community yet.
Okay, so, I drove around for like… literally an eternity… (yep, I just mangled a Big Bang Theory quote) saw someone leaving their spot flipped a bitch and got a space. The play broke and headed over there.
Well… There’s a spot for people to wait, but apparently today they wouldn’t allow anyone without a ticket to wait at the barricade. Sigh… And all of this because a dealer got into a fight with security. Apparently, there was some talk about following Christie Brinkley, knowing a full itinerary and will just go to the hotel, etc… Sigh… That’s just never good. Is telling security all this really the way to help your case?
Disaster.
So, we wait.
There are two girls who are ticket holders waiting. Two…
The stage door opens and there’s Christie. There are about six of us collector’s waiting for her.
Christie poses for photos with the two girls, signs for them, and then we call for her. Her people even blocked us from getting a photo of Christie.
Then Christie Brinkley jumps into the car and takes off… One of the collector’s there follows the car and gets Christie to stop. She rolls down the window, signs two things for the guy and then I ask her to sign my Vacation poster (which is literally right next to her) and she says, “Sorry, I have to go!”
Disaster.
Sigh… and that as we say is that.
It just irritates me that dealers ruin everything. I mean come on! Starting fights? And you know do you have to get a stack of 50 photos done? It irritates me when something that should be easy becomes a giant headache! Grrrrrr…
Ah well…
Until next time kids…

Mike, that really sucks, especially when they’re were literally only a handful of you. Dealers do ruin it for everyone with their dozens of photos and stuff. At a couple of the Walk of Fame ceremonies I almost missed out on autographs because certain dealers “almost” got into altercations with security. Just relax and be calm.
DAMN THESE DEALERS MIKE!! They just like to ruin it for us “true” fans. These cockaroaches are greedy and have no manners what so ever. Why do you think I don’t come out to LA/Hollywood all the time?
There’s another thing that some of these dealers do AND that is create a so-called fan site in order to brag about getting the graphs and therfore making money. These dealers/ebayers will brag about the 10 Johnny Depps that they got at the last premiere and then will turn around and say how much they still need the guy again. That’s so you can continue to make money off this guy you dealers! Stop pretending that you have a fan blog when all it is, is a site to promote your ebay site. Mike, you don’t do that and Mike the fan Boy is the “real” thing. A fan site for us fans to share our stories and celebrity encounters. Except no substitutes people stick with MTFB for the truth. It’s the REAL fan site!
