I use mainly vinscullyismyhomeboy.com for dodger signings, and for other local dodger/SoCal signings I use la inspiration , myautographsignings.com, and for book signings I use celebritybooksigningsandevents.com

Well today I decided to venture out very early to the shops at montebello, in montebello, ca to meet dodger great Fernando Valenzuela , let me get out my frustration first about this event , security didn't do a f'n thing about line cutting , with that I didn't get a wristband, but that didn't matter cause I still got thru the line and got an autograph from Fernando on my dodger poster (which now has 70 autos on it) I'm finally glad to have got fernandomania, yup yup.

Today I decided to go out to the pechanga casino in temecula, ca for a rare and free jered weaver signing from 7-9 pm, but the line went smooth, there was a VIP line that went in and started at 6 pm, that was done after twenty minutes so the main line started right up and went right along smooth, now it was a strict 1 per, but you never know what nice people you may meet, I met a group, a dad and wife and their 21+ old daughter, well between them they had 2 things to get signed and they saw an extra item I had ( ticket stub from jered weaver's first home minor league game ) so they offered, and I gladly accepted ( also got signed a weaver 2007 sga bobblehead as well) and I was out of the signing by 740 pm so I was happy. 2 great autos from the front runner for the 2012 al cy young award.



Next possible event---- autograph alley at dodger stadium aug 30th

Well today I decided to go see the rancho cucamonga quakes play the lake Elsinore storm in lake Elsinore,ca tonight with the main purpose of getting yasiel puig (the Cuban defector signed to a $42 million dollar contract) on rancho cucamonga, he was just promoted on Thursday , well about 20 minutes before game time, he made his appearance in the dugout, I showed him my dodgers poster I've been working on, and he came right on over, and signed my poster as well as a practice ball used before the game, he almost signed it on the sweet spot, it's slightly off centered from the ss, but still cool, and I also got former dodger pitcher and current quakes pitching coach Matt herges to sign my poster, for a total of 72 autos now, also tried to get rugby de la rosa to sign a rc, but since he started this evening he did not sign per game, but it's cool I've got him before.

Next possible ip autographing - autograph alley on August 30th @ dodger stadium

Going to dodgers vs San Diego tomorrow to do a hotel/game graphing session of the dodgers, and hoping I rack up all the new dodgers since they haven't been to sd since may!!!!!!!

I just did them sunday in Cincinnati and I got Beckett, Kemp, Mark Ellis, Adam Kennedy, and Rick Honeycutt. ALso should have had Andre Either but I was by the dugout and my dad (who got Kemp) had no Either cards on him because I had them all.

Had an awesome time autographing yesterday before, and inside the dodger/padre game. Here are my results


first I got former dodger Mickey hatcher to sign my dodger poster I've been working on

then I got chad billingsley to sign my dodger poster too, he said he liked the magic Johnson all star throwback I was wearing

next I got pitcher Shawn tolleson to sign my poster along with a card

then I got pitcher josh wall to sign my poster

next I got Juan Rivera and Tim federowicz to sign my poster each within a 5 minute period ( could have got Alex castellanos too but didn't recognize him) someone thought he was paco rodriguez, didn't realize who he was till 5 minutes later.

And I got coach ken Howell to sign 2 cards for me


then got dodger mgr don mattingly to sign a fleer rookie card( now got 1 of each signed ip by him) and my buddy helped me get a 2012 topps heritage card auto'd too , he usually will sign 1 per before he enters the stadium.


Went to lunch after that , and that proved to be a mistake cause I was told by one of the graffers, that Adrian Gonzalez signed for the 5 people that were still waiting around , I could have had him on my poster too , well I guess I have another 5 yrs to try :)


then inside the stadium I got former dodger pitcher Eric stults to sign my poster

Once we were able to get to our seats I got Luis Cruz and former dodger Jose vizciano to sign my poster, also tried to get Matt kemp and Hanley Ramirez to sign, but always got in the wrong place :(

Still a great day for graphing
a total of 9 autos on my poster( now has 81 dodger sigs on it) and 6 cards, a great day.
