Woooooooooo!!

Even after years of collecting autographs/celebrity encounters, there are still a hefty handful of performers who regularly have done or continue to do shows, but have fallen through the cracks and we’ve done a remarkable job of missing each other.

It ended up being a great encounter that completely paid off. 
By no means was I a huge fan of Bobcat Goldthwait when he was in his prime, or should I say when he was most recognizable. The Police Academy films in which he starred in three of them, were a beacon of passable mediocrity and the squeaky voice was charming in short spurts but could grow tiresome after too much exposure. Nevertheless when he came to my town, I made sure I was there first thing to greet him… because after all, who doesn’t know Bobcat Goldthwait?
