On Saturday September 22nd 2012, Jennette McCurdy went to see Cirque Du Soleil’s “Iris” at the Dolby Theatre in LA, and she invited her fans to join her…
Although I gotta say, Jennette certanly didn’t miss with her Alice in Wonderland Scarlett from Iris inspired outfit.
You see what I’m talking about there? 😉
In short, it was a fantastic evening and I hope you all enjoyed my little “tour” if you will of the day’s festivities. You can click here or on any of my watermarked inages above to see all of my orginal photos in the gallery.

Well, Saturday 9/15/12 was certainly a fun day! The fabulous Jasmine V and her brother Jream Andrew came to town for a free concert and meet and greet sponsored by AT&T’s anti-txting-while-driving campaign#itcanwait.
As you can see, I got to meet her again. She’s clearly gotten even prettier. I won’t comment on myself. xD Oh, and this time I got an autograph too. That was cool. 🙂
Her and her brother did a few songs for us. She pulled a girl on stage to do the dance for Werk with her and, well, she did a great job. I was shocked just how in sync they were!
Extra, which is a Warner Bros. production, celebrated their 19th season with a party called “Extrapalooza.”
This event was held at The Grove LA on Monday 9/10/12 and featured several Disney stars.
Disney Channel’s Bridgit Mendler was there to perform her new single “Ready or Not.”
She also did a rare public meet and greet, and I was able to get a new autograph. 🙂
Also on hand earlier on the day was Olivia Holt from Disney XD’s Kickin’ It.
And she signed these really cool new Kickin’ It posters.
China Anne McClain from A.N.T. Farm was there as well.
She actually had both standard headshots and A.N.T. Farm posters to sign. I picked the headshot as you can see.
There were a number of other people there as well, including Rob Paulsen. He voiced Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and he now voices Donatello in the forthcoming Nick reboot of the franchise.
I also got to see Wayne Brady as he was interviewed by Maria Menounos.
Plus I got to see the great George Lopez briefly as they filmed the conclusion to the festivities with host Mario Lopez and the Grove’s owner Rick Caruso.
There are two separate image galleries linked from this post, one of Bridgit’s performance and one of everything else.
Well this was a great event and it’s probably gonna take more than one post to get through it all!
This past Sunday, August 19th 2012, a variety of Disney (and Nick and music) stars attened the 3rd anual Kids Help Children benefi for CHOC Children’s Hospital
The Disney stars included ANT Farm‘s Stefanie Scott…
Ryan Ochoa from Pair of Kings…
Dylan Riley Snyder from Kickin’ It…
Kenton Duty from Shake it Up…
And Sammi Hanratty who was in a few episodes of.
On a personal note, it was a big deal for me to get to finally mean the lovely and talented Ashley Argota.
Her “TV Sister” Tiffany Espensen was there as well…
… as was “Skinner” himself Dillon Lane. It was like a mini reunion!
That’s Matthew Jacob Wayne from “Epic Showdown” in the above pic, and Kenton Duty again in this next one.
Alright, I think that’s enough for one post. I still have video to edit!
On August 11th, Teen Vogue organized a series of “Back to School” events at malls across the united states featuring Ross Lynch, Bailee Madison, Drew Seeley, Cher Lloyd, Shay Mitchell, Peyton List, Matt Johnson, and Jasmine Villegas to name a few.
Oh, and lets not forget Shake it Up‘s Bella Thorne who was at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
And it’s about time the Inland Empire got a little love. These sorts of events always seem to be confined to the greater Los Angeles area.
So of course I had to go and show my support.
As you can see, Radio Disney was on hand for the brief Q&A session.
And we learned that Bella’s favorite princess is Belle, because “[She’s] named after her.”
And… that’s about it. I gave Bella a Save Disney Shows bracelet and got a quick autograph.
I was about 14th in line, so I ended up right in front of the stage.
You can see the rest of my orginal photos in the gallery. Please don’t repost without credit!
Well, she was at Comic Con this past weekend and of course I had to go see her.
… and Vincent. He’s a pretty cool dude too, but mostly Alyson. 🙂
I even got a pic with her this year!
And check out the new autographs. This pic is gonna look good on my wall. 🙂 (Original photo is from this post.)
Oh, and the Where’s Perry Poster? How cool is this?
It’s double-sided to boot. 🙂
It is a bit of a shame Alyson was sitting pretty much the entire time though. That was a very leggy outfit.
Be sure to click any pic above to see the rest of my personal photos from the event. I’ll post the “profesional” pics later if/and when they turn up online.
It’s hard to believe it’s really been ten years since Kim Possible premiered in the summer of 2002. It was a different time, the country was still realing from the 9/11 attacks and we need a hero. She came to us in the form of an animated cheerleader and frequently saved the world. “No Big.”
The party was held at The Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society Club House and hosted by The C/FO The Cartoon Fantasy Organization. We started with a look at the early days of the show…

… including the screening of many old promos and interstitials on the “big screen” in the main room.
As many no doubt know, the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure was removed from EPCOT last month. The news of this is what had prompted my trip to WDW last month.
It was fitting, in light of this, for Tony (lord_victorino) and Gustav (redquill) to share some of their experiences at the KPWSA two years ago. We had limited time so we took a vote and my favorite was the clearcut winner: “Japan – The Baby Bebe”
Oh, and Tony had a nice stand up routine for us as well.
This brought us to the main event: the VIP Pannel Q&A session.
From left to right, our honored guest were…
Kurt Weldon – Kim Possible Writer / Line Producer
Tracy Berna – Kim Possible Writer
Brian Swenlin – Kim Possible Writer / Story Editor
Chris Bailey – Kim Possible Season 1 Producer / Director
Nicole Dubuc – Kim Possible Writer
Thomas Hart – Kim Possible Writer / Story Editor
… and here is the complete video of the hour long Q&A session!
There were many good stories recounted by the crew. My favorite had to do with how Kurt got in trouble for talking to Consumer Products. Oh, and we still don’t know what happened on Tuedsay, but the “pointy” issue was laid to rest at last. 😉
And then there was cake.
… our VIPs were a bit impatient as this obviously posed photo shows. 😉
It was a great honor for me to get to meet Chris Bailey for the first time. Seeing as how it was the 10th aniversary, it was very apropriate and fitting to have his insights into the origin of the series and the characters.
I’m also a bit excited that I was able to get my KP season one boxsets (both US and DE versions) autographed along with my “save the world kit” which had previously been signed by Bob Schooley and is now back in it’s display case.
Along with, ironically enough, the first new bit of licenced KP merchndise to be released in years. Is this proof that some at Disney still see the potential of the franchise? Only time will tell.
Again, my thanks to the VIPs for coming out. My thanks to Don Spears for all his work on the orginal Kimvention…
… and of course Dave, the aforementioned Tony and Gustav for all the work that went into this event, and everyone else who came out.
Please be sure to click on any still picture above to visit the image gallery of 50+ pictures from or otherwise related to the event.
A few weeks ago, Allie De Berry and Sierra McCormick tweeted that they would be having a meet and greet at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, CA today.
You might recognize both girls from Disney Channel’s A.N.T. Farm. Allie DeBerry plays Paisley the not-so-smart mean girl and Sierra McCormick plays Olive the super-smart bestfriend of the main chracter.
As I had mention in my post on DC Fansy, Tiffany Thornton hosted a special concert at the Roxy in LA on April 22nd 2012.
It was a fantastic event overall, although I have to say that the turn out was disapointing as you can see from the crowd in front of the Roxy aprox. 30 minutes before showtime.
Tiffany herself performed three songs, “Man Up,” “I Am Me Because of You,” and “Sure Feels Like Love” (Watch the videos Here).
There was a meet and greet with Tiffany and some of the other performers at the begining of the show, but due to timing issues photos were not allowed durring the meet and greet. However, Tiff did sign one of her new “Beloved” shirts for me.
I caught up with her at the end of the show to ask her about the new tattoo on her wrist. It’s her husband’s name, and he has her name and face on his arm! As I thanked her and turned to leave she said to me “Hey, you’re not leaving without taking a picture with me.” to which I managed to stammer a “oh, sure.” Unfortunately, the girl working my camera didn’t quite know what she was doing and she caught me just as I was about to say something. Oh well.
Also in attendance were several of her So Random castmates: Matthew Scott Montgomery, Audrey Whitby, and Allisyn Ashley Arm.
Allisyn and Audrey were quite the popular pair, with several Disney/Teen fansites asking for photos and interviews.
I’ve saw Allisyn and Matthew last year at the D23 Expo but it was cool to finally meet Audrey and get a pic with both girls.
Another unexpected guest was Cassie Scerbo from ABC Family’s Make It or Break It whom is aparently very good friends with Tiffany.
This was my first time seeing Savvy & Mandy perform.
I was quite impressed. And Savvy is pretty cute too. 😉
Savannah Outen is also very pretty. Especially in that dress.
I hadn’t heard her before, and I was quite impressed.
And I’ve never watched Twilight, so I didn’t really know who Booboo Stewart was, but the band 5-L was pretty good, and his sister Fivel has some serious dance moves. (Did you watch the videos?)
There are a lot more of my photos (50+) from the show in the image gallery. Be sure to click on any photo above to see the full set.
