A lucky few of us were able to meet Binko today! This thread is dedicated to our stories! I have to say... As a long time follower, I had really high expectations of what he'd be like. I was really worried that he wouldn't be able to meet my expectations, but he truly exceeded them! Definitely one of the most down to earth Internet personalities I've met. Surprisingly shy and quiet though! You wouldn't expect that with how extroverted he is in everything he does! The coolest part was when I asked him to sing one of his songs. He tried to politely decline several times, but I'm not a quitter! I got him to sing a clip of Bow Down, and he even did a quick cover of At Last (by Etta James). Not gonna lie, he has a beautiful voice, and I wish he'd do more classical stuff like that. He sounded like he was straining with pop, but his voice just opened up with At Last. Was able to get him to sign my copy of his first book, and even got a Team Binko bracelet! So yah... Amazing experience! I was too shy to ask for a picture after he did all that stuff for me, so you'll have to pardon the creeper shot my friend took! Well, if anyone else had a chance to meet him, please share your story!

Is it just me, or has Binko gained some weight? He's sporting a gut through his shirt. Those chicks are hot though!

Hi people. Mary here. I appreciate those of you that didn't believe the ridiculous post about Steven being self-centered. I didn't want to make a post about it because 1) I'm on vacation and don't want to waste time on my phone or on a computer. I'm trying to enjoy enjoy my time here. 2) I am not the kind of person that gets starstruck. I understand that Steven is a human living his life. He isn't any different from anyone else. But since Mark is being difficult, I guess I will take time to tell you all about my experience. Steven was not self-centered at all. He was just how I imagined, to be honest. He was himself on BlogTV so he wasn't any different in person, which is great! He asked my gf a lot of questions about her organization and showed a lot of interest in it. After we enjoyed our coffee (tea for me) we walked Hollywood Blvd, took pictures with us and the stars. Went into a resale shop of a sort and goofed off in there. It was fun. Took some pictures with the Hollywood sign. (I was the one that recorded the video of him with the Hollywood sign!) We had fun hanging out and it was great to finally meet someone I have been in contact with for so many years. OK I'm going to enjoy the rest of my vacation now!

I don't like that my post was deleted. Probably because it was complete crap. You're allowed to post negative opinions of Binko, but that likely qualified as spam or harassment. Anyway, I LOVE the pic of the three of them! And I don't think Binko looks fat conrad...

maryhadalittlelamb08 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! I've always wanted to meet Binko, so it's nice to hear about those who've had the opportunity. You didn't have to hop on here, but you did! You're cool in my book!

Awe! I'm so glad that Mary cleared that mess up! I knew Binko was a stand up guy! Did he meet anyone else, or just these two? Also, I think we should create a thread for each city that he visits! Thoughts?

I don't know why my post was removed by Admin, but here it goes again: I'd like to go on record of saying that any fan who has a chance to meet Binko should have a damn forum account. He only meets a select number of people, and one of the guys didn't even know who he was? Kind of disappointing. Anyway, in case he doesn't get an account (now that he's met Steven), here's the little clip he posted on Facebook. I've updated this post with the pic Steven shared on his FB with Eddy.

Glad we finally got pictures! For a while, I was thinking that he was lying about meeting anyone. Lol

Those two didn't meet yesterday. But thanks for sharing the pics! Maybe not, but it was all on the same trip. And unrelated, does anyone else think that Eddy & Binko would make a sexy couple?

Since everyone is sharing their stories with Binko in California, I thought I'd post mine as well! The first time I actually met Steven was back in 2012, but this was a completely different set of circumstances. Back then, my daughters were part of his talent agency. Years later, we are now the closest of friends... probably even more like family! That's me in the sunglasses (Jamilia)!When Steven first arrived, my family went nuts! I'm sure you've seen the video on his Facebook! I was also babysitting for a friend, and her child (Kingston) knew of Steven. When he walked in, King had the cutest reaction! He took a strong liking to Steven and even asked if he'd be his brother! You can see why I say he's like part of the family!Even though he was sick the first couple of days, we had a lot of fun watching a new show he got me hooked on called "Devious Maids". If you haven't seen it, you need to check it out! I know that Steven's like a celebrity to many of you, but to me he's like a brother. Those chill nights, where we did nothing but eat and watch TV, are probably my favorite part of the whole trip. We recently got a new dog who has been nothing but trouble. Now, I've had the opportunity to witness Steven's psychic gifts in a way that most people can't even imagine, but witnessing him talk to my dog was a new trick for sure! I doubt any of you have ever seen Steven without hair product (or a hat), and in his pajamas. You're more likely to see a unicorn...There's not really a whole lot else to say, because our trip was really laid back! Our outings mostly included Starbucks stops, but he's pretty laid back like that. Stacee nailed it on the head (in her post above) when she said that he's way more introverted than you'd expect. He steps into character and turns the energy on for the camera, but he's actually quite shy! I dropped him off at the airport, and I'll be honest, it wasn't easy. Having him with us for a week felt so natural. I'd wake up and see him laying in the living room on his phone in the morning and ask myself "is he really here?". We talked about moving him up here, so you never know! Maybe this was just the beginning of something even more magical.
