I'll try to update this every weekday I can, so if I miss a day don't come after me. wink.gif
I'll give a little story behind the autograph too, even if it's dumb, at least you'll get a little insight into my experiences.

Let's start it out right - my favorite in-person autograph: WILL CLARK!

user posted image

If you don't know the story - Will Clark's my favorite player. Back when he was on the Orioles (I think it was 1998) they came to Philly for an interleague game. Will was standing in right field during BP, I went over to the corner and called to him, he turned and waved. Thinking that was already beyond cool, once BP was over Will came over to me! He asked my name, shook my hand, signed this card and told me to enjoy the game, then went straight to the dugout, didn't sign for anyone else. I don't even remember what I said, I think I blubbered like a schoolgirl biggrin.gif. He didn't start the game, but came in late and hit a home run!!
Out of all the memories I have of Veteran's Stadium, this one will always be at the top.

Oh, and all the subsequent pics won't be this big, Will just deserves it. smile.gif

Today we move to music with the band Seether:

user posted image


Lead guitarist Pat Callahan (who actually just quit the band) had his guitar "inducted" into the Hard Rock Cafe in Philadelphia last year. They were also to perform an exclusive acoustic set there as well, and the only way to go was to win passes from WYSP, a local radio station. Well, I won tix so my wife and I headed over. There were maybe 80 people at this thing, real intimate. I brought along the CD to get signed. When we got in they actually had a free buffet set up, so we grabbed some grub. As we sat down to eat the band came out to mingle, sign autographs and take pictures. We already started eating, so I figured we'd just wait. Bad move, since they started to leave to get ready to play. By the time I got to them only the bass player (Dale Stewart) was left, d'oh! At least I was able to get him. So we hung out, saw the official unveiling of Pat's guitar on the wall, and watched their set (about an hour). They were and are a really good live band. After they were done playing they all headed into the back except for Pat. So I went up to him and got his auto and a pic with him (my wife wouldn't get in the pic, I think she has the hots for him rolleyes.gif). Then I went over by where the other guys exited and the singer (Shaun Morgan) came out and signed for people. He is one ugly dude, lol. So the only member I never got was the drummer. Still, was an excellent experience!!

You were in Walmart - you should have just BOUGHT a CD to get signed! tongue.gif

The guy Pat from Seether was from the Philly area that's why they did it at the Hard Rock there. I think the rest of the band is Australian. I may be wrong about that though, but for some reason that sounds right.
