Still Relevant

Saturday I brushed against greatness!

The comic shop in the strip mall where JT and I had lunch had a special guest!

Robbie Rist!

I know!  Me too!

Well, actually...

I recognized Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch on the sheet the barker was handing out, but none of the other roles he's played.

I looked into the antechamber they'd tucked him into, for better to control the traffic and to make sure we'd paid for the autograph session...  But I did wave at him and said "hi!"  He, likewise, waved back and said, "Hello."

That was all the handlers would let us do, but I get that he's appearing to make some extra money.  It's cool.

A neat thing was a couple of teenagers came in while we were looking at comics and they were STOKED to meet him!  He's done a lot of voice acting and he portrayed their absolute favorite character, judging by how excited they were.  I'm guessing it's his role voicing Choji Akimichi in the Naruto series.

Great for him to still be relevant to new fans after 52 years of acting!
