After my my 10 year old son's soccer game today, he and I hustled on over to the Astronomicon. With me were three of my customer cards I was looking to add ink to. I went 2-for-3.
The first autograph I got was Jamie Pressly on a card from my Joe Dirt set. This in itself was exciting because it was my first card form that set I've been able to get autographed. The interaction was pretty business like. I handed the card over and she asked if I wanted it personalized to which I politely declined. She signed, we exchanged thank yous and she extended her hand. The thing most of note was her grip. She must work out. Very happy with that auto. Placement is good and everything.
Next was Cerina Vincent. I made one of my horror autograph cards from Cabin Fever which she starred in. She really like the card, taking a picture of it with her phone. She asked if I brought an extra, which I did. I gave her the extra to keep and in exchange she was nice enough to let me pick something extra from her table. I chose a Cabin Fever poster which she autographed with a quote from the movie. She also talked up my son a bit and complimented him to me. She suggested we check out a Disney show called In the Middle that she's in. Neither of us had heard of it, but if I see it on I'll give it a watch because she was very kind.
I also wanted to meet Tommy Chong. Up In Smoke is easily a top 10 movie for me and Chong is a legend. Unfortunately we didn't see him until we decided to leave. He must have been doing photo ops or something. He already had a long line that had formed, so we skipped this time. Hopefully I'll get another shot to meet him in the future.
