Today I went to an interview and appearance at a restaurant in Schaumburg, IL with Chicago Bears wide receiver Dontrelle Inman, hosted by the radio voice of the Bears Jeff Joniak, and former Chicago Bear Tom Thayer. I entered online and won entry for two people, as well as drink tickets, and I was able to get Mr. Thayer to sign one card, and Mr. inman to sign 1 card and 3 8x10's for me, for free.

Last night, I went to the D-League game between the Windy City Bulls and the Maine Red Claws. Not a lot of the guys on either team have cards, but I was able to get two cards signed by Bulls assistant coach Jannero Pargo, 4 cards signed by Diamond Stone, 2 8x10's signed by former Wisconsin star Duke Dukan, and 1 "custom" (I use the term incredibly loosely) card signed by Daniel Ochefu, Jarell Eddie, and star Antonio Blakeney.

Friday evening, I went to a bar in Countryside, IL, where a radio station had a live broadcast with former Chicago Bears star Lance Briggs. Mr. Briggs signed two cards for me, for free.
