Meeting the Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire and Other Great Characters

Iraq 2010, Deployment Balad. With it getting close to the Holidays, many soldiers decide to take their available leave to go home to be with family. I however had already spent my two weeks with my lovely wife on her birthday back in October.  Balad was not the greatest of bases, too many High Command always walking around.  On the plus side they always had great concerts and USO shows, like Trace Adkins and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. But the one I was looking forward to was the great man Robin Williams. He was on the Holiday USO Show touring through. 

End of November, Davis pack your gear, you’re heading to Baghdad to cover those on R and R. Great! Heading to the Detention Center, a holding point to high valued marks picked up by ODA. Also tagging low end personnel who may or may not have information. I think the highest person I saw there was the Jack of Spades.  You know from the face cards from early wartime, the one with Suddam as the Ace of Spades…. Ya that one. 

So apparently there's not a lot I can say about the area I was in, for Bagdad, classified and all. But to continue on with my story. I was all settled in, had a vehicle and was able to drive to the PX, the gym and even a bowling alley. The day of the USO show with Robin I was scheduled to work that night thereby missing the show. If it weren't for the fact that I was covering at the detention center, I might have been able to go. Earlier that day, not in a good mood because of missing show, I decided to hit up the gym on the other non special side of the base. Shorts and brown T and iPod, not your standard issue Army crap, perks of my Unit. Just pulling into a parking space at the gym when I looked in my rearview mirror and saw what looked like a large group Holiday photo being taken. At closer look, right in the middle of this gathering was the man himself, Mr. Robin Williams. 

It only took  a split second to decide I was going to go and meet him. Well, as you recall I am wearing basic gym style clothing with my earbuds hanging off my neck. I cross the street and wait for the crowd to break from the photo. Walking into the yard, “Excuse me, sir.” Eh, a four star Admiral. “Sir” two star General, you get the idea. As I hit the middle of the crowd, I feel a hand on my shoulder and hear “Merry Christmas man”  turning to see Lance Armstrong walking by. Holy crap that was Lance Armstrong. Now I am just outside the small gathering where Robin is talking to a few and signing and taking pictures. I wait out the small group and then move in. I get up right next to him and reach out my hand, He grasps my hand and I just tell him what a great honor it is to meet him.  He said, “Thank you very much.” Wishes me a Merry Christmas, I returned the gesture and turned to walk back to the gym.

Regrets! I am stupid . All the officers and others there, all I needed was to get a scrap piece of paper and borrow a pen and I could have gotten his autograph. Hell many others with a camera could have taken our pic and just sent it to me via email. Oh well, I have met the great man.

Pray for me! A scratchy throat Thursday has evolved into an ass-whomping sickness as of today. I can't imagine it's delayed onset crud from DragonCon, but just in case I'm lighting a candle to St. Qualls for a speedy recovery (awesome celebrity candle story will have to be for a later post) #dragoncon2019 #djqualls #sickasadog #lightacandle #celebritymeet https://ift.tt/31qPiHe

Alright final #jdf post, somehow he managed to convince my boyfriend to take a pic with us! Something even I couldn't do! This makes me so happy! Final I can't believe I said that to #jasondavidfrank. "You were my first celebrity crush and you broke me!" What is wrong with me! #geekgirl #comicartist #artist #experience #celebritymeeting #greenranger #powerrangers #tommythegreenranger #joy #mightymorphinpowerrangers

I'm starting to overthink again as I think it just hit me that Im meeting Vicki Lawrence in a couple of weeks and wondering what I'm going to say besides can we take a picture etch 😁😶❤️💕 #vickilawrence #26daysleft #nervous #overthinking #celebritymeeting

[beccatr]

My haul from meeting #jasondavidfrank I think I have to say it! It was better than meeting #brucecampbell for me, #jdf clearly adores his fans. When I gave him the drawing he gave me print in return! He just made me feel appreciated! With this I just can't believe I asked for "the one (print) with you humping your helmet." It's like in his presence I immediately became a horny 14 year old again! Oh #nostalgia #geekgirl #comicartist #experience #hamiltoncomicon #celebritymeeting #greenranger #whiteranger #dogtags #powerranger #funkopop #toy #celebritysignature
