at a Timberwolves game on new years day i got Corey Brewer on a card and Lazar Hayward, Jonny Flynn, and Anthony Tolliver. I also got kim kardashian on a piece of paper. she was there cause she's dating Kris Humphries and the game was Vs the Nets. more to come...(hopefully)

At a concert earlier in the month (forgot to update this thread earlier) I got the band Sick Puppies (every member) on a poster and local rapper Big Reeno on my ticket. I didnt have successes with the Cali Swag District who wanted $25 for a t shirt which they would sign, but i hate getting clothing (except GU and jerseys) and they refused to sign my ticket, so i figured it wasnt a big deal, they only have one good song anyways. haha

I didnt get a chance to try to get Nelly and 3oh3! because my ride left early :(.

Tonight was a great night of IP graphing for me. I decided to take in a little WNBA action and went down to Target Center to watch the Lynx play the Fever. This was my first WNBA game and wasn't sure what to expect. For a first time, I can't argue with my results. Here they are:

Lindsay Whalen 1/1 (custom 8X10; As a gophers fan, I love this one).
Maya Moore 0/1 (Custom 8X10; Walked right by the 4 people graphing)
Rebbekah Brunson 0/1 (Custom 8X10; snuck by while I was getting Whalen)
Candice Wiggins 0/1 (custom 8x10; Signed but I didn't recognize her till she was gone)

Seimone Augustus and Charde Houston signed too, but I had nothing for them. So not much right? wait there's more. lol

Martell Webster of the Wolves was there and I had a Wolves hat with me, but I couldn't get down to him in time (He helped the mascot throw t shirts in the crowd).

But then the Grand daddy of them all (lol):

Ricky Rubio 1/3 (8X10 custom;also got a pic together)!!!!

I found out ahead of time via twitter that he "may be at the game" So I made some customs just in case. He was there, courtside under the basket. So I spotted hm in the 1st quarter, and with 4 minutes left in the 2nd I went closer down towards where he was sitting, in hope of snagging him during the half. Unfortunately as soon as the buzzer went off Three security guards circled him and wouldn't let anyone near him. So I kind of stood off to the side and this lady comes up to me and is like "Are you trying to get rubio's autograph"
"Yes, I even made this on my computer, but security won't let me near him" I said
"Oh. Well come with me" She responded
We started walking over there and The security guard walks towards us (more towards me) and she says to him "He's getting an autograph." Then the security guard backed off. I got him to sign one of my customs then got a pic on my phone with him (I have to find a way to unblurr it).

I was so happy. Totally made my night. I don't know who the lady was, but who ever she was must either be close to Rubio or the Timberwolves/Lynx organization(s), cause the security guard backed off quick when she said to. lol I will post a pic below.

It won't let me post it cause it "Exceeds my quota". Any suggestions? I will try to post the Whalen too.

The way I post images is- click on the little yellow box that has a picture of a mountain in it and post the URL of your image- to get a URL you have to first post it to another site like photobucket. You can get a photobucket app on your smart phone and put it on, then link from your computer.
