Just want to say thanks fellas. This was my first Phestival, and thanks to all of your pointers my haul was fantastic to say the least. I will post pics later.

It was great to meet Jack, Eric, Jared, and some others, and spent a good amount of time with Ryan just missing out on Halladay. Your all good dudes, and I look forward to seeing you guys in some more relaxed signings ;)

Impressive that you guys got through all the lines! I ended up with Hamels, Howard, Gross, Wigginton, Pierre. I had a Bastar do/Horst ticket but decided to roll the dice and try and pay for Utley. Ended up that they cut off the line about 15 people ahead of me.

The only thing I'll say about the Phillies vs the Flyers carnivals, is that if you're going for autos at the Phils, you have to split up. I wish they would extend the auto times since it took me almost 1h 30m to get through just Howard and Hamels, leaving me with 30 mins to go through 3 more lines and/or try to pay for Utley.

And splitting up makes it less of a family, casual event.
