Sorry it has taken so long for me to post about DOD. I know some of you have been waiting, but we had tixs to see Bill Maher afterwards and didnt want to post details on Twitter because they can be misrepresented.
So...onto the recap.
We arrived at 8:30 am and quickly found the goodie bad station. We got a bag with a portfolio of cast pics that they could use to sign during the day. Then we got a "sample" of Countess W lip gloss, some sanitizer and the schedule for the day.
Since Ari is in London, we would definitely want to get to James' line. Thankfully, his was in the AM and we got in the line. He was going to sign with the Carvers and Ciara (James R, Renee, Terrell and Lauren Boles.) We were at the back of the stage. While we were waiting, the band was sound checking. We saw Wally Kurth at that time. Then DAYS posted Ari, LK and KA giving reason why their "characters" were not going to be there. Nicole's excuse was that was she was hard at work campaigning for EJ.
So the cast came out of the Hard Rock Cafe and we didnt get to see them because our line was in the back of the stage. After they were introduced, they went to interviews back in the restaurant or for the autograph sessions.
Our group waited until they put the autograph table on the stage and we got to talk to James Reynolds and Renee. They were both great.
We finally got to the stage and saw James. He was happy to see us and showed him the beautiful mini-poster that Tink made. I asked him to sign it and he did. Then started talking about Nicole dumping EJ and he really didn't remember what was airing at the time so I had to do a quick recap. He then remembered and I asked him if EJole are going to be happy in the New Year then he said:
Oh, we're taping in February and STILL GOING STRONG!
We needless to say were pleasantly surprised.
Then I talked to Renee and James R and mentioned the rumor about bringing in someone new for Lexie. I told James R that Abe needs to get another woman instead of Lexie always being the one....we laughed.
The kids were cute and signed their cards.
Since we were finished early we got to get in another line. We headed for the DH line but that was closed. We ended by in the line with Freddie Smith (Sonny) Bren Foster (Quinn) Kate Mansi (Abby) and Magic (John and Suzanne.) They were all gracious especially John and Suzanne. I brought my book and I had all the cast that was in the book sign it.
It was lunchtime, then we headed for Galen's line. While we were in line the DAYS band went on stage. I only got to see some of Eric's performance of "All Right Now." Kyle Lowder sang "Summer of 69" and "Sex of Fire" by Kings of Leon. He was good. The twin Johnnies and Allies were rockin on the stage.
I went back to Galen's line and we got to see him. He was nice as always and I told him he was funny on Dirty Soap.
We went upstairs to get some seats for the Q & A. I went over to the stage to take a couple of pics of Peter Reckell and Eric. The Q & A was boring. Then it was the preview....
I will post my thoughts of the preview after this post.
Overall, we had a great time and it was 1000xs better because I got to meet Tink and hang out with her and Mindy.
