Thanks everyone, I was really happy to get Dan Aykroyd. I don't usually get autographs of people who don't have cards, but he is a legend, I have seen him in so many movies!

I think the green looks awesome. It shows up great on the bottle and print
Nice job

Thanks, I borrowed it from a grapher friend in line. They also have "bone-colored" bottles for an extra five dollars, and any color would look good on that, but the ones left in the store all had chips in the face, so it wasn't worth it.

Today, I went at lunchtime to a restaurant in Warrenville, IL, where they were broadcasting a radio show hosted by former Green Bay Packers lineman John Jurkovic. I had Mr. Jurkovic sign two cards prior to the radio show starting.

Yesterday I went to a book signing by former Chicago Blackhawks player and cancer survivor Eddie Olczyk, at a store in Schaumburg, IL. Mr. Olczyk signed the book purchased at the store, and he signed a card for me, as well.

This afternoon, I skipped out of work early and went to the city of Chicago, for an appearance and bottle signing at a liquor store by legendary actor Dan Aykroyd. Mr. Aykroyd promotes Crystal Head Vodka, which comes in a skull-shaped bottle. The advance information stated that he would not sign any outside items, so I printed out a quick 8x10 just in case, but didn't buy any action figures or anything else. Turns out that there were not many people there, and he was more than willing to sign whatever anyone had along with the bottles, including figures, Funko's, ECTO-1 license plates, photos, ECTO-1 model cars, and more. The handler was not happy, but he told his handler that it was fine. Anyway, for the price of a bottle of vodka, I got an autograph on the glass bottle, and on my 8x10. I borrowed a green paint pen, and even though there is a small smudge on the bottle autograph, they look cool to me!

This is awesome! Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies of all times. I was big into them when I was a kid. I think somewhere my mom still have pictures of me in full ghostbuster outfit lol.

Its great to see you had a positive experience with Aykroyd. I have heard, to put it nicely, he could be kind of a turd.

This past Monday, I went to an appearance in the afternoon by current Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon "Juice" Wims, at a Meijer in Homer Glen, IL. Mr. Wims signed two cards for me, for free.
