So today's update will be Kurt Becker from the 1985 Bears. Talk about a nice guy! I had him sign 4 things for me in total. 2 were items that are being donated for a raffle where 100% of proceeds go to the Make A Wish Foundation. Then I had him sign 2 Super Bowl XX programs, one for me, and one for a co-worker.

Ok, so big update today! Long day as well! There wass an "autograph fest" at a local card shop today. 3 players through out the day, first one starting at 11am and the last one starting at 3pm. The players were Bob Avellini, Bob Love and Mike Hartenstine.

Not to make a long post any longer but if anyone is interested I can go into further detail later but Bob Avellini really put me on the spot and asked my opinion on the lockout. I told him and we have a 5+ minute exchange about it. He got a bit heated while giving his views but it was all within a pleasant conversation, even if I did start to sweat! LOL

Anyway, here is the important stuff, the pics! Enjoy.

Time for another update!

This update will be from two days this week. First being from Wednesday March 30th which is when I volunteered for the Ronald McDonald House and worked the High School All-American weekend. My job was to provide any and all information about the weekend to the players and their parents. I wasn't allowed to ask the players for autographs as it was not the proper time or place. However I did get to meet most of the future stars of the NBA, Austin Rivers, Quinn Cook, Michael Gilchrist to name a few.

The only autograph I got that day is below, a signed book by Alonzo Mourning who was there giving a speech to the players.

And the second part of the update is from today. Two former Cubs were signed at two different Meijer locations, both at the same time 11-1pm. Luckily they were also only 15 minutes apart! I got to the first one, Lee Smith at about 10am and was 7th in line. I was able to get in and out with my autograph by 11:10 and back in my truck on my way to meet Bill Madlock. When I got to Madlock I asked him if he could put 4x batting champ on my mini bat. He took it one step further and also inscribed the years! Pics below!

Another spur of the moment update. Wasn't planning on going to this one but was bored sitting around the house. Drove an hour to some home and garden show that was free admission and also free autographs from Robbie Gould.

The next update will be at least Taj Gibson and possibly Loul Deng. Not sure if I am going to Deng or not.

Had a tease today! Got a phone call 10 minutes ago saying Carlos Boozer was signing autographs at the mall (across the street from my office) at 5pm for free. This hasn't been advertised so shouldnt be a line! Well I called to confirm and they said it was just cancelled and will be rescheduled on wednesday.

Wednesday is a problem! I am getting Luol Deng and Taj Gibson already on wednesday and Deng is at the same time. Just ordered a nice 16x20 for Deng so I gotta go to that!

Doh!

I have my basketball update today. Overall I think it went well even though I did not get Taj Gibson. I just didn't have time. Anyway, I met Luol Deng today. I knew it would be a mad house so I left the office a little early and got there at 2pm for a 5pm signing. Unfortunately I forgot my chair! I was 2nd in line.

He showed up on time and I went up to get my item signed and right away he got a big smile and said he loved the particular photo I had. I made a little small talk about some of his stats while he has played for Great Britain and he thanked me and no my way I went.

I think it is safe to say there was 350+ people there. It could have been worse because Boozer and Taj were also signing same times and they had a few hundred each also I was told.
