Michael Cerveris X4

I was this close |-| to not bothering to go also.
Good thing I did, Michael told me it was his final day for awhile.

I started yesterday thinking I was going to get Christopher Lloyd & some cast of Fringe.
Lloyd outright denied & Fringe was done by the time I got to their location.

However, in the "you never know what will fall in your lap" category.
Late afternoon I got the tip where Randy Quaid was, went there & got 1 minutes after arriving.
Then a few hrs later found out about a sports celebrity dinner, got Trevor Linden & Mikael Samuelsson (shoulda got most of the Canucks, but didnt follow my own advice of stay close to where they are parked...and sure enough, they all came out a door right near there while my friend & I foolishly waited at the bigger, main door).

3 autographs, none of whom I expected to get at the start of the day.

NHL - New Jersey Devils

final totals
Martin Brodeur X6
Patrik Elias X4
Ilya Kovalchuk, Jamie Langenbrunner, Larry Robinson, Andy Greene X3
Adam Oates X2
Jason Arnott X1

& about 1/2 a dozen common guys.

I was so focused on Marty on the early portion of the trip, I really didnt bother with too many common guys till the final day.... which was just 1 shot, them boarding the bus to leave town.

Considering Brodeur signed MAYBE 4 autographs the whole time he was in Vancouver for the Olympics, I was pretty pleased to get 6 this trip.

busy day yesterday

Tom Hardy X4, Chris Pine X1
Elizabeth Mitchell X3, Joel Gretch X1
SHOULD have also had 3 other people, but I either didnt have things on me, or they said "not right now, get me when I come out" & I couldnt wait. For a Thursday, it was pretty busy.

the day before, I got Paul Simonon X3 for a friend who asked if I could help.

[canadagraphs1]

Not that anyone outside of Canada probably knows who they are...but...

Brent Butt X2
Nancy Robertson X2

[canadagraphs1]

Robert Carlyle X3
Louis Ferreira X1

both would have signed more had I made more.
With any luck, I should get a large chunk of the rest of the SGU cast today.
