Santa Barbara Film Festival! Billy Battles Broken Down Cars! Super Bowl Sunday! And More Just To Meet Saoirse Ronan!

Welcome back to Billy Beer’s Barstool.  Well, it’s Super Bowl Sunday, and you would think I would be off to a bar to eat some wings and drink some beer.  Honestly, I could care less about either team.  What I did care about was seeing Oscar Nominated Saoirse Ronan again before the award season was over.  She was being honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and I figured this would be a lower key event to get her with everyone watching the big game.

Well… Things didn’t start off great.  My check engine light decided to come on, so I had to pay $100 for a part to get my car up and running….FUN!  When I finally did get down there, thankfully it wasn’t too crowded.

As time progressed, it got busier and busier.  I think a lot of locals decided to come out after the game.  The barricade ended up filling up.  It was about 2 deep. 

It didn’t take long, Saoirse arrived, and she went right to one end.  Basically if you were in the front you got a picture or autograph if you asked. 

When she got to me, I had my cast piece and a photo.  She was nice enough to sign both and still took a photo (Photo cred Dori). 

It was pretty laid back.  I did have another cast piece that other people tried to get signed for me, but I ended up just getting the two.  I was happy.  Till next time.
