They had Brian Tyler, David Harris, Terry Michos, Dorsey Wright and Deborah Van Valkenburgh at a show somehwat close to my area in Orlando, Florida several years ago. I couldn't attend at the time due to an illness, though I really wanted to. Later in the day I get a call from a friend at the show and he says "hold on someboday wants to talk to you". Someone gets on and says "hey man I hope you feel better, so whatya up to, this is Vermin". My draw freakin' dropped. We talked a bit and he tells me not to hang up, wouldn't you know they passed the phone around to all 5 cast members and all were wishing me well and exchanging some small talk. You talk about class acts, these people were it!! My buddy also had them sign a group photo as they were speaking with me on the phone and they were asking what quote I wanted written from each of them on the photo to me and the wife. All of them were so down to earth, it was like I knew them for years. Next time any of them are in town for a show we're there!

Well, I know your story is better. I am just saying, for a mere mortal, Talking
to all those "Warriors" cast members is pretty nice!

Can post a pic of the photo they signed? I'd like to see what quote they put.

Sure I can post the photo, I just have to dig it out from storage. As much as I'd like it there's no room for a man-cave in my home, the wife gives in all too much to my wants so I wouldn't push that on her. So most of my memorabilia goes straight into a storage center I rent. I have things in Containers, totes, etc. Sometimes I wonder if I should live there, ha, ha. But when found I will surely post. They really did go out of their way for a fan, which you really don't see as being to commonplace anymore for celebrities. ~Peace out and God Bless~.

Ohhh yeah, on a side note, about five years prior I wrote to James Remar (Ajax, as if I had to tell any of you). Took awhile, actually about 8 months later I did receive a signed picture and three signed index cards back from him. What was really nice is that I asked him to inscribe something cool should he have the time to send an autograph back. On one of the cards he signed "hey whattya turnin' faggot", and on another "they're a bunch of wimps". All were signed but two had the awesome inscriptions. Now if anyone would like I would be happy to post the address I used to write to him. Though this was back in '05 so I cannot verify its accuracy today. But if any of you would like it, just send a shout out and I'll post the address I used. ~Peace out and God Bless~.

4Nik8, on the photo you have of The Warriors members I see that Thomas G. Waites was also in it. I always wondered if he would ever attend any cast get-togethers but I guess that pic answered the question of "would he sign any cast related photos". The reason being is the way he was kind of sent packing from the filming, I would have thought he would never have any loyalty to the movie. Ohhh hear's one for you, ~Peace out and God Bless~.
