I am still in shock. Johnny got there about 2:55, his usual timing! As soon as he got out of his SUV he walked across the street to us before he even posed for the press. He walked along signing autographs and being very gracious. When he got to me I handed him my CATCF book and while he signed it I just told him that I loved everything he has done. I wasn’t sure he heard me over all the crowd, but then he paused, looked up into my eyes and said in his sultry voice “thank you very much.”
Faint Next he signed a picture for my niece and then stopped in front of Mindy, who had some wrist bands she had specifically made for him. (you can see the blue one in his hand in this picture) She offered them to him and he looked at them and said “Wow, cool” and took them, shook her hand and signed her poster. After that he maybe signed two more autographs down the row when security told him it was time to go and he headed back across the street. OH, the traffic was not blocked during this premiere. I asked security why that was and he said WB didn’t need the extra press with this movie and didn’t want to put out the $25,000 it would have cost to close the road. Bummer Ted. But when Johnny crossed the street towards us he didn’t even wait for security, he just started crossing through the traffic and security caught up with him to keep him safe!!! After he left us he posed for pics with the press and went inside to the premiere. We hung around thinking he may come back out. I walked down to the corner of the street and then heard a horn honking. I glanced over towards the parking lot next to the theater and there was the SUV leaving, with Johnny leaning out his window and waving to all of us as he pulled out and drove down Sunset Blvd. He stayed his usual length of time for his movie premiere……all of about 15-20 minutes!!!! I can still hear his voice in my head. What an experience!!!!!!!!!
