Who cares about that? Squints is going to be there, he planted a kiss on Wendy Peffercorn, the guy's a legend.

That's an eclectic collection of guests they have there. I suspect that Henry Rowengartner line might be a little short.
It reminds me of one time I was in Vegas, and there was this little comic book store in the shopping area between Luxor and Mandalay Bay. My wife and I were walking by, and Lou Ferrigno was just sitting inside at a folding table, with a handmade sign that said "Lou Ferrigno's autograph $5" on it. There was nobody in line. Nobody else was even in the store that I could see. Lou was just sitting there looking at his phone. I wanted to go in, but it was also kind of sad, so I just stared at him until my wife told me that she needed another drink.

I met Meadowlark Lemon at spring training. Same deal. People were in line for other players, but there's the great Meadowlark Lemon sitting alone.
I had a nice conversation with him. Seemed like a really sweet guy.
Met Bill Buckner that day too. Crazy to think they're both gone now.
Dead serious - Do people really go to stuff like this and pay for autographs?
I know some guys that travel around every weekend and spend thousands of dollars per year on that stuff.
Yes, a lot of times it's for wrestlers which people grew up watching. Sometimes if the star is big enough they can turn around and sell the autograph for more money. If Wendy Peppercorn would be there, so would I. I would still make out with the old lady now because I could always claim I made out with her. I just would not tell anyone when I made out with her.
Absolutely. I know several people that would be the type to go. I wonder what their paying each of them.
I literally just said I wanted Rolly Fingers' autograph. Don't you judge me Curt.
Well it's kind of like only fans cept it's in person and their clothes are on
. I never have though. I really haven't meet many famous people though.
