Julie Benz of "Dexter"

"Dexter" is one of my friend's favorite television series so we went after Julie Benz when we found out she was appearing on a radio show here in Los Angeles.  It's been cold and rainy this week, not exactly the best conditions for waiting around outside for autographs.  However, from previously meeting Julie, we know that she appreciates her fans and is pretty much as close to a "lock" as you can get when it comes to obtaining autographs.  As we waited with four other collectors, the six of us waited patiently as it would drizzle rain, stop completely and then completely downpour.  This was repeated in varying order over the course of the hour or so that we awaited Julie's arrival.  Time was also running against us as the show was close to starting and Julie, the guest, had not even arrived.  Eventually, Julie Benz did arrive so we called over to her and asked if she would sign some autographs.  Sure enough, she headed right over to us, taking my pen and began signing.  Even better, the rain was stopped at the moment so we weren't going to ruin our newly obtained autographs.  After everyone got their first autograph, Julie even signed another autograph or two per person when asked.  We ended up with 7 fantastic signed 11x14 photos and probably could have even gotten a couple more but we wanted to make sure to allow enough time to still be able to get a photo with Julie.  She did not disappoint, as even being late Julie still took the time to pose for a photograph with each of us who asked.  Julie Benz is simply a wonderful signer and knows how to take care of her fans.
