True Blood Star Joe Manganiello AKA Alcide Greets Fans and Signs Autographs! Oh, and He Tapes A Talk Show Too! LOL
So, I get this last minute call from Scotty… “Joe the werewolf is going to be taping something today.” Thankfully, I had my season 4 True Blood poster boarded and in my car already so all I had to do was head over there, otherwise I might not have made it. Anyway, Joe the werewolf, AKA Joe Manganiello AKA Alcide from True Blood is taping with Mario Lopez today and Scotty and I are heading down to check out the action!
11:50 a.m. – I just arrived, and apparently the show is supposed to start taping at 12:30 so there’s time. Also, they are giving away True Blood season 3 to select audience members. Whoo Hooo…
11:55 a.m. – I just need Joe Manganiello to finish my True Blood season 4 true colors promo poster so I’m so excited! I went to the set the other day and was able to meet Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin, and Stephen Moyer so getting a full poster finished before the premiere is pretty rad!
12:03 p.m. – It’s a gorgeous day, and Scotty and I are just chilling…
12:11 p.m. – Frank is here, another of our friends, and he told us to wait farther down by the entrance…
12:15 p.m. – Mario Lopez just went by… The man wears more makeup then Cher. It’s all true.
12:22 p.m. – Oh… Oh crap there’s Joe Manganiello! When Frank and I started to walk up him someone from the show said to just wait, they have to get him in, but they will give him time to sign afterwards. I’m always one to try and play by the rules, so I said fine, but let me tell you, I’ve heard that before!
12:28 p.m. – We are watching the taping… well… we are now in the audience to watch the taping…
12:29 p.m. – A man is walking his cat on a leash… Like really? … a CAT! Crazy times!
12:34 p.m. – Oh, I think Joe Manganiello… yep, that’s him! Joe is walking in now…
12:36 pm. – The man is a giant… I mean like… a giant… I’m 6’3 and I feel small around him!
12:38 p.m. – I think that Mario Lopez just asked Joe if he has seen twilight? Joe’s response… “No.” lol…
12:41 p.m. – Joe seems super chill which is nice. They just whipped out the new GQ magazine with Chris Evans on the cover even though Joe called him Chris Pine. Joe Manganiello has a very… cough, cough revealing shirtless cover shoot in the new issue of GQ.
12:45 p.m. – I just felt a bunch of people leave their computers and run out to a magazine stand… Hmmmmm lol…
12:51 p.m. – Mario Lopez said something about this being True Blood week… hmmmmm Interesting, and they mentioned that they would be giving out True Blood season 3… god, I’m going to be on TV… ugh…
12:56 p.m. – Oh, it looks like they are taking some audience questions…
12:58 p.m. – Some are better than others… lol… and I’m going to leave it at that!
1:05 p.m. – Mario and Joe are passing out DVD’s Scotty got one… Frank got one… did I get one? Nope!?!?!? Ah well… It always happens to tall dudes… lol…
1:08 p.m. – Joe Manganiello is literally super cool. He is bringing people up on the stage to take photos with him and signing… like one by one…
1:13 p.m. – Scotty just got his photo… I’m next…
1:14 p.m. – Joe Manganiello signed my poster and was like, “Wow, you’ve been working on this.” And here’s where I babbled… like a school girl in heat… sigh… What is my problem…? Oh, I’m standing next to Joe Manganiello that’s why I’m babbling like a school girl… lol….he is super nice!
1:18 p.m. – Frank just got his photo and got his DVD signed… Joe even wrote To Frank… Howl… lol… next to the Wolf on the interior of the packaging…
1:20 p.m. – And he’s still taking photos with everyone… like, I have never seen this before… Crazy! I know most of the True Blood cast are super cool, but I honestly didn’t expect this! Plus my poster… looks super rad! I’m totally stoked! Wow… what a cool day! Thanks Scotty!
