JRS or Bust: 7 Days...




Awesome photo I found on Alan Mercer's Profile, best John Schneider pictures to date.

Day 7

One week...

My work day yesterday was horrible, but it gave me the perfect opportunity for me to watch ‘The Fugitive’ episode of the Dukes of Hazzard so that I can sing ‘Take This Job and Shove It’ with Johnny Paycheck.  Seriously, John Schneider and the Dukes of Hazzard are good for whatever ails you, lol. Now that that crisis is over, I can focus on more important things…like seeing John Schneider at the Orlando MegaCon!

My main concern today is my JRS or Bust packing checklist. I’m making sure that I have all my John Schneider memorabilia that I want to have autographed.

1.   John Schneider sings ‘Lady’ on the first Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show in November of 1980.

DVD

2.  John Schneider plays Jack Kincaid an unemployed musician on Twenty-six miles, an incredible show with great musical performances. Don’t get me started networks are crazy!              

DVD

3.  John Schneider plays Buck in the television version of Stagecoach. I LOVE this movie!

DVD

4.  John Schneider made this Johnny & John Lost Session available and it is hilarious and fun!

CD

5.  John Schneider in a behind the scenes look of some special Collier & Co. moments: Goodbye, Traveler. I love this, imagine if your husband and his friends video-taped themselves completing a simple chore around the house…exactly...it’s hilarious.

DVD

6.      John Schneider is James Riley in Lake Placid 2

DVD

7.      Bo Duke, Yeehaa! - ‘Nuff said.

 

8.      My 01 hat.

9.   My John Schneider/Dukes of Hazzard t-shirt collection.

10.  A few one-of-a-kind posters and t-shirts that I created
  to hang in my office that I can now get signed, Yeehaa!

    I think that's everything. I have other shows and music that are digital downloads butI haven't figured out how to have him sign those.  And, of course, I have other items that are already signed...I could ask him to autograph them again-in person. Not too much right, lol.

Did I mention that it's only ONE WEEK away!

See y'all there - Yeehaa!

P.S.

11. I can't believe I forgot my DITMA (Dating in the
 Middle Ages) mug!

JRS or BUST: 9 Days!

Awesome photo I found on Alan Mercer's Profile, best John Schneider pictures and article I have seen to date.

Is it me or does the picture in my JRS or Bust diary seem to be getting bigger and bigger, lol.

Last year I attended Star Wars Celebration V and being neurotic and crazy, as you now know that I am after reading my Blog, I created an agenda of what I was going to do every second that I was there.  I actually hate having to punch a clock, at work or at play (I'm like Robert Redford that way I guess, lol.) but I wanted to see as much as possible during that Star Wars extravaganza. Now with John Schneider appearing at MegaCon Orlando, I find myself tempted to plan out my day.

Now, I know that there are going to be lots of other wonderful actors and artists attending this Mega Con. Stan Lee is going to be there for goodness sakes! (I also collect Spider-man comics.) Several Star Trek alumni, yes I admit it I like Star Trek, too. (Notice, I used the word like. To all you Star Wars fans out there, I am not being unfaithful.) But let's get one thing straight right here, right now. I AM ONLY GOING TO SEE JOHN SCHNEIDER! At Star Wars Celebration there were many things to see, at MegaCon Orlando there is but one objective: to see as much John Schneider as I can over a two day period.

Chill out, I'm not planning on stalking the man...just staring at him for two days straight. My Orlando MegaCon agenda follows:

JRS or Bust: 10 days!

Awesome photo I found on Alan Mercer's Profile, best John Schneider pictures and article I have seen to date.

10 days...

I opened up my blog to check my JRS or Bust countdown and see that there are only 10 days left. We are about to reach single digits! My mind just did a complete, system-wide memory dump.  Deep breath, breathe. Good news though… I just checked the programming schedule for MegaCon 2011 in Orlando and John Schneider is doing a panel, “Superman’s Father” on Sunday, March 27, 2011 @ 11:20 am – 12:10 pm. If you are in the area, you will not want to miss this.  I have found snippets of panel/Q&A sessions of John answering fan questions and they are always entertaining and fun.  

You have no idea how happy I am that they are doing a panel discussion. One, it would be a huge oversight not to give Smallville, Dukes of Hazzard or John Schneider fans an opportunity to have a sit-down chat with such an amiable and charming star. Second, and admittedly more importantly for me, I know that I am going to turn into a 9-year-old, little girl and go completely speechless and freak out when I see John Schneider in the flesh for the first time. (I mean, come on, I have waited over 32 years for this). This way in the panel crowd I can be a total dufus without embarrassing myself.  Bless you Mega Con 2011 Orlando! Once I let all my Fangirl hysteria out, I’m sure I will be able to compose myself for a one-on-one meeting so that I can get an autograph. My backup plan if I chicken out is to have my husband do it. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

They will also have Froggy’s Photos available with John Schneider. I think Tom Wompat is wonderful and I love him on the Dukes of Hazzard, but in my version of the Dukes my husband is the brunette and I have waited a long time to get a picture for my desk of my Duke Boys, lol.

Hope to see y’all there - Yeehaa!
