Went for local as well as nationally renowned recording artist, Kid Rock, as he arrived at the Fox Theater in downtown Detroit today for sound check before his charity show with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra there tonight. Bob didn't come over to sign as he was driven into the gated-off section of the venue and had to get started with sound check, but told the six of us waiting there to give our items to his bodyguard, as he'll sign them after he finishes up with sound check.

Three hours later, after sound check wrapped up, out emerged his bodyguard with our stuff signed. Told everybody that Bob just ran with one of the person there's black sharpie on all the items, which I should have gave the bodyguard my silver Elementz metallic marker instead had I known somebody was going to loan him their black sharpie, and signed on the darkest part of my 8 x 10 photo, but I'm not complaining at all with getting Kid Rock's autograph at last for my PC.
