Reports from Vancouver

[canadagraphs1]

NHL- Chicago Blackhawks

Marty Turco, Marian Hossa X2
Patrick Kane, Brian Campbell X1

They were in town less than 20 hrs, didnt practice & had some little napolean running around telling them not to sign at the airport (where only 3 autographs total were signed)... so all in all, I didnt do nearly as bad as it looks.

Doesn't look bad at all! If I were gonna pick two Hawks to get, it'd be Kaner and Hoss. In Chicago, you gotta chalk up big bucks to get those two. I think my two Hoss sigs and my Kaner shirt, when you factor in the photos and shirt themselves, come to around 300-350 or so, so I'd say you came out just fine!

Up here Hossa is pretty easy. Can almost always be guaranteed 3-5 on a trip.
The ones we have the biggest problems with are Keith & Bolland.
Both are severe pricks, but at least when Bolland does do it, he usually does multiples.



NHL- Colorado Avalanche

Peter Budaj, Cody McLeod, Kyle Quincey X4
Matt Duchene, Paul Stastny, Milan Hejduk, John Michael Liles, Ryan O'Reilley X3
+ most of the others X2.
Craig Anderson X1

Kirk McLean X1 at the game. Got him on the card that was holding a pin they handed out commemorating him being added to our ring of honour. He actually stuffed us at the hotel, and I was pretty angry with myself for not bringing my binder to the game, as I had 4 photos sitting in it.

NHL - San Jose Sharks

Patrick Marleau X3
Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, Antti Niemi, Dany Heatley, Torrey Mitchell X2
Logan Couture X1

This team had been notoriously bad here for the past few years, but last season they seemed to slowly start to get better. Today they were actually really good. Seems they have shed some of the sour attitudes... even longtime terrible signer Thornton was a willing signer today.

Josh Jackson X2
Heather Hemmens X2
Robbie Jones X1

I expected a lot more than this on a Sunday return from a long weekend.
Granted I did see 5 others, just either didnt need them, or in the case of Cary Elwes, he turned us down & Ashlet Tisdale who snuck out while Heather was signing for us.

Dane Cook X2

Had no interest in going for him, but a friend wanted to go..so I went & kept her company & ended up going for him myself.

Simon Pegg X4

Leonard Cohen X3
Simon Pegg X3
Chris Pine X1

First time in awhile that I have put in any considerable amount of time in outside lately for something other than hockey. Had decent results for it.

[canadagraphs1]

after a couple days of failings...had some mixed success today.

AJ Michalka X1
Ashley Tisdale X1
Kirk Acevedo X1

[Jaffer]

How was Ashley this time?

[canadagraphs1]

Probably the nicest I have seen her since the last time I was able to get her.

I think maybe she did it because she was with 1 of her HSM cast mates. Either that, or she was sincerely in a good mood. She had been VERY sour the last couple days as she has seen several of the regulars repeatedly lately now that we are hanging around a hotel for the cast of MI4 that is immediately across the street from her gym. So I didnt expect too much luck from her last night, but she actually did it.

[Jaffer]

Ah, that's nice to hear. To be fair to her, it seems as though you guys are being rude to her so it is a two way thing.
