SopranosCon

Sopranoscon looks like they are getting a great turnout for their N.J. event.

https://www.sopranoscon.com

We are very Sad, our fan based group were just getting an entire promo package together for one of the invited guests for the Sopranoscon event and he just backed out.


Too bad, we were all hoping to assist Mike Memphis ( Jimmy Bones) to produce a great bundle of apparel and hand out items for the event including staff, to assist in handout promo on site at his booth / table.

We are looking into why he cannot make it or why he would not want our assistance.
He may have a conflict with current Representation who are not serving him well.

We were offering no cost assistance for this event.
Will update and confirm all once advised.

Nobody cares about Jimmy Bones

i was strongly considering going but i can't make the time.. looks like it's gonna be good though.

We should have a forum meetup at this.

I got my weekend tix and am hoping to make it. Once one of the packages sold out, I got nervous so bought it -- though I was waiting to see the actual schedule, and to see who'd be there on which days. So I got both days (whether I go both days, that's to be determined)... but it should be a blast! I found out about this just 3 days after meeting these guys in Asbury Park... 2 of 3 of which so far aren't even scheduled for the Con! (Neither are most of Tony's family, btw -- WTF?!)....

BTW, these three bring my total to 9 Sopranos actors met so far... that should skyrocket in November!

Michael Imperioli's aging pretty well.

Very cool.

SopranosCon is shaping up to be a huge event!





Better news: the same organizers are working on a wider MobMovieCon ("The Irishman, Analyze This/That, The Godfather(s), Goodfellas," etc) for April in Atlantic City!!

I need a mental break from real life so this should be a fun weekend!

Who else is going?

Looks like a must for any Sopranos fan, wish i could be there..

that nicky petito guy is really funny and talented

Tony Sirico not attending Day 2 due to illness.

I was attending and very sad it did not work out.

Effing Facebook no longer allows sharing of photo albums off their site?!! WTF!! I wanted to share a bunch of pics quickly and easily, but this will take some time now, and will have to wait.

But in any event, I had a great time -- even met up with a couple old BB members!

Here are some pics to get started... I'll add more when I get some time...


The first is our old friend Don Cardi (whom I haven't seen in probably 10-12 years already!), and the second is “Anthony Spilotro” (aka “Don Alessandro”) who came down from Canada for this event -- a member since 2002, it took almost 20 years to meet him (would you believe he was only 14 when he joined here?)! It was a lot of fun seeing friends old (and new)! Too bad you didn't make it, DuesPaid. Did anyone else go without my knowing it?

Some more...

great pics !!!!

What a great Share Boss, good for you. All the pics looks great.

OMG, you with Drea DeMatteo AND Sofia Milos.

Thank You.

A few more...

Goldee, who played "Pie O My", is alive and well!

Also, Me & Mikey Palmice, Uncle June sang a few songs, Tony's Escalade, and Alabama 3 was flown in from the UK to play a few songs (incl. "Woke Up This Morning")

SHUT UP AND EAT!

Great looking cookbook signed by Tony Lip (1930-2013; he played boss Carmine Sr in The Sopranos, and was the real-life driver/bodyguard for 60s era Black pianist Don Shirley portrayed in GREEN BOOK). Also signed in-person by his sons, Oscar-Winner Nick Vallelonga (who co-wrote GREEN BOOK), and Frank Vallelonga Jr. who portrayed his uncle in the film).

"Enjoy a whole range of stories and dishes from Danny Aiello’s mother’s Lentil Soup to Joe Mantegna’s Mussels Mantegna. Also included are recipes from famous restaurants in New York City like The Copacabana, Patsy’s, and Lombardi’s, and from the sets of The Godfather and The Sopranos."

A Must-Have! Order on Amazon

Another Must-Have!

THE SOPRANOS SESSIONS analyzes every episode... I got my copy signed, and Matt even drew a sketch of Tony for me!

Available on Amazon

And a few more...

Don Cardi about to confront Richie Aprile... James Gandofini's car when he was a student at Rutgers... a recreation of Dr Melfi's office... a Pine Barrens maze... and a memorial of those we've lost....

Thank you for all of the great pics.

Great photos, thanks for sharing..Drea DeMatteo han't aged at all and is stll hot..

She was old looking for her age during The Sopranos, but that's the thing about people who look old for their age when they're young. They have less of a fall as they get older.

Yeah, thats true..

Yup. Spot-on.

It was great seeing and spending time with you Don Malta. Also great to finally meet Anthony Spilotro! I absolutely enjoyed the SopranosCon. Everyone of the Soprano actors and actresses were very nice and a pleasure to meet and speak with!

But I specially loved Drea DiMattaeo aka Adriana & Katherine Narducci aka Charmaine Bucco who were both probably the nicest celebrities that I've ever met.

Cute story : When I walked up to Drea DiMattaeo I looked her in the eye and said " C'mon Drea, just say it!" and without me actually telling her, she knew what I was referring to and immediately belted out her famous "CHRISTAFAAAA!"

It really was a fantastic convention. One of the best that I've ever been to.

I hope MobMovieCon in AC in April will be even half as fun!

Besides many returning Sopranos stars, they've also so far booked (among others, and others to come) Paul Sorvino, Angel Salazar (Scarface's "Chi Chi"), and Frank Sivero (I never realized the same actor who played "Frankie Carbone" in Goodfellas was also young Genco in GF2!!)...

They post updates regularly on the MobMovieCon Facebook Page (updated quicker than their website)

I will start a separate thread as we get a little closer, but in the meantime, I found a 10% off promo code for the event: TIMEIMMEMORIAL

Paul Sorvino


"I don't know anything about the restaurant business. Nothing. All I know is to sit down and order a meal, not how to make a restaurant."

Another offer:

How did you not know that. He's also in the background in the scene when Sonny is beating the hell out of Carlo in GF1

I'm terrible with recognizing actors' names and faces in other projects unless they're super well-known to me...

MobMovieCon should've been this weekend in Atlantic City, but since it's been postponed, they're having a free virtual Con and fundraiser!

LIVE AS OF NOW!

2021 - MobMovieCon / SopranosCon - Atlantic City

After a few delays due to Covid.... check this shit out...

More...

Couple more...

The last one is Armand Assante (Gotti) on the right (I thought I had taken a better picture of him, but I guess I didn't) and Furio on the left. I didn't get a pic with Assante because his handler said he wasn't taking photos "at this time"... but 2 minutes later I saw some woman taking a pic with him...

nice pics jg

Great photos!

Nice photos Geoff.
