Not a sports person, but yesterday Chuck Palahnuik, my favorite author was in town doing a book signing and a reading, so I went. He was one of the coolest people I've met

Saturday night I got both Annie Lennox and Sting in person at their hotel after they had a concert here in Vancouver. Sting signed only 2 autographs for the 8 people waiting, luckily, I was one of the 2 people to get one. Annie Lennox signed one for everyone, personalized it and added "love"

Friday night in-person experience.......my favourite actor....AL PACINO

He is in town filming Two For The Money. He signed 3 8x10's for me in blue vis-a-vis pen.

The only bad part is that he has a brutal autograph....but I don't care becuase it is AL PACINO

I have attatched a pic, they are for sale and or trade

Wednesday night I hung outside a local hotel as their are many celebrities staying there currently. I was lucky enough to get Nick Nolte to sign 2 8x10's for me in silver sharpie. He is in town filming a movie called "Never Was"

Jeff Burton 1/1 421 days.....well worth the wait!

Wednesday night I waited five hours downtown on the Hollywood movie set called "Man About Town". I was finally rewarded with autographed from Ben Affleck. I got several photos signed as well as some magazines as he is currently on the cover of Details.

I have been trying to add an image, but the site won't allow it tonight for some reason....e-mail if you want to take a look.

the autographs are for sale and trade

here is the Affleck.....

Heavyweight champ, grill and muffler pitchman, Sitcom star

I am really happy, George cracks me up.

Friday heavy metal rock band Megadeth was in town for a concert but held an autograph session beforehand at a local music store. I got lead singer Dave Mustaine to sign 3 photos for me. 2 11x14 in size and 1 8x10.

I have tried 3 times to add a picture but the site won't allow it.
This site is very frustrating sometimes adding pictures!!! I will try again later tonight or tomorrow

here is the scan

Last night I went to check out the arrivals at the local airport as it was Thanksgiving in the US and most of the celebrities currently filming in town went away for the long weekend.

I waited 2 hours in total and was able to meet Kate Beckinsale who is here filming Underworld 2. I got a picture with her and an autograph on an index.

I also met John Scnieder, aka Bo Duke. He signed a picture for me which is a Smallville cast photo and too a picture with me.

Not bad for two hours!!

no scans today for this, already made a scan in the baseball thread..but if someone wants to see these, let me know

Jack Nicklaus
c/o Golden Bear Sports Management (14 days)

I received my 2001 Upper Deck back unsigned with my unused sase & a color 8x10 was included that is autopenned. I was wondering about it because it just looked too perfect, then I flipped the pic over......There's a sticker that reads "This item displays a computer-generated reproduction of Jack Nicklaus' authentic signature. This reproduced signature has been applied and reproduced with Mr. Nicklaus' consent, approval and authorization."

I wish every celeb that used an autopen would do that, at least you know & there's no doubt. It's better than nothing & it still looks nice.
