RECAP FROM THE DENNIS RODMAN SIGNING AT OC SPORTS CARDS

FIRST OFF LET ME SAY "OMG... GARY PAYTON WAS RIGHT" WHAT A CHARACTER DENNIS RODMAN IS. IF YOU HAVE NEVER MET DENNIS RODMAN. I HOPE YOU DONT GET EASILY OFFENED. YOU JUST MIGHT HEAR DENNIS SAY SOMETHING AND YOU'LL ASK YOURSELF "DID I JUST HEAR, WHAT I THINK I HEARD" AND THE ANSWER IS YES! DENNIS RODMAN WAS... VERY ENTERTAINING. HE HAD ME LAUGHING. THE THINGS HE WOULD SAY WOULD MAKE YOU RAISE YOUR EYEBROWS. TO MAKE IT SHORT, HIS COMMENTS WERE OFF THE WALL LOL. I ARRIVED TO THE OC SPORTS CARDS AROUND 12:15pm WITH MY FAMILY. WHEN I WALKED IN THE SHOP I WAS GREETED BY SANTA CLAUS. THATS RIGHT SANTA CLAUS WAS THERE AS WELL. I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN SANTA MY CHRISTMAS LIST WHILE I WAS THERE, NEXT TIME. ANYWAYS I TOOK MY SI MAGAZINE OF DENNIS RODMAN (AS A LAKER) TO GET SIGNED. I EVEN GOT THAT HOF 2011 ON IT. THERE WAS FANS STILL IN LINE AND THERE WAS FANS THAT HAD ALREADY GOT THERE ITEMS SIGNED, SO THEY WERE JUST WAITING AROUND TO TAKE PHOTOS. PROBABLY HOPING TO GET A PHOTO TO SELL TO TMZ...LOL

THE FANS KEPT COMING AND YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT DENNIS RODMAN WAS GOING SAY TO THEM. NOT ALL THE FANS WERE THIS LUCKY TO GO BEHIND THE COUNTER AND GET THIS CLOSE AND PERSONAL. LETS JUST SAY THAT THEY HAVE A STORY TO TELL, ABOUT THE TIME THEY MET DENNIS RODMAN AT OC SPORTS CARDS.

THE NEW HALL OF FAMER "DENNIS THE MENACE" SIGNING WAS AWESOME. FANS BROUGHT BASKETBALLS,JERSEYS, PHOTOS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND BASKETBALL CARDS TO GET SIGNED BY DENNIS "THE WORM" RODMAN. A MUST HAVE AUTOGRAPH!

DENNIS RODMAN WOULD STOP AT TIMES TO TALK ABOUT THE PHOTOS THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO SIGN. ONE PHOTO THAT CAUGHT RODMANS ATTENTION. WAS A PHOTO OF RODMAN IN A LAKERS UNIFORM AND FORMER TEAMMATE SCOTTIE PIPPEN IN THE HOUSTON ROCKETS UNIFORM. DENNIS RODMAN SAID TO ONE FAN " THATS ME BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS GUY IS? THE FAN SAID " SCOTTIE PIPPEN" RODMAN SAID " YUP! THATS SCOTTIE F$!KIN PIPPEN". LOL

OVERALL THIS WAS A GREAT SIGNING AT OC SPORTS CARDS. THIS APPEARANCE IS ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET AND GLAD I WENT. I HAVE NEVER MET DENNIS RODMAN BEFORE. I HAVE ONLY SAW HIM IN PERSON A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE LAST TIME I SAW DENNIS RODMAN WAS IN PASADENA. HE WAS COMING OUT OF A RALPHS SUPER MARKET. THATS WHEN RODMAN WAS IN THAT TV SHOW CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR.DREW PINSKY. DENNIS RODMAN WAS IN SEASON 3 OF CELEBRITY REHAB. ANYWAYS THE FANS THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK WITH REALLY ENJOYED MEETING DENNIS RODMAN AND SO DID I. THIS WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ME. DENNIS RODMAN WAS AN AWESOME PLAYER TO WATCH. ON SATURDAY I SAW MARK LANGSTON, WALLY JOYNER AND MARK TRUMBO OVER AT THE OC DUGOUT. SO YA I SCORD BIG ON AUTOGRAPHS THIS WEEKEND. THANKS TO ALL THE GUYS AND GIRLS OVER AT THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS FOR PUTTING ON SOME REALLY AWESOME EVENTS FOR US FANS. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHO YOU BRING IN FOR NEXT YEAR. IF YOU MISSED OUT ON ANY OF THESE SIGNINGS OVER THE WEEKEND. THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS HAVE PLENTY OF ITEMS FOR SALE. TILL NEXT TIME, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE AUTOGRAPH LINES.

RECAP FROM THE TRUMBO,JOYNER AND LANGSTON SIGNING AT THE OC DUGOUT.

WHILE THERE WAS ABOUT 5,000 HALO HONKS AT THE ALBERT PUJOLS AND CJ WILSON PRESS CONFERENCE. I WAS WITH MANY OTHER HALO HONKS AT THE OC DUGOUT. I ARRIVED TO THE OC DUGOUT AROUND 10AM AND I SEEN ABOUT 5 PEOPLE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. I MEAN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT "TRUMBOMB","WALLY WORLD", AND LANGSTON. WHERE IS EVERYONE... OH YEAH, AT THE BIG A. ABOUT 10:30AM THE CROWD CAME. SOME OF THEM SAID THAT IT WAS A MAD HOUSE OVER AT THE BIG A. SOME OF THEM WERE ABLE TO MAKE BOTH EVENTS. EITHER WAY I WAS HAPPY THAT I DECIDED TO GOTO THE OC DUGOUT. ME AND MY SON GOT TO HANG OUT AND EVEN HELP AT THE OC DUGOUT. ME AND MY SON GOT TO SIT WITH MARK LANGSTON. WE EVEN GOT TO JOKE WITH "TRUMBOMB" ABOUT SOME EGGNOG  LOL... INSIDE JOKE.

BY 10:45 THERE WAS A GREAT CROWD THAT CAME FOR THE SIGNING. MARK TRUMBO WAS FIRST TO ARRIVE, AND THE FANS WERE EXCITED! WALLY JOYER SHOWED UP SECOND AND MARK LANSTON WAS LAST.

MARK TRUMBO DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK. TRUMBO STARTED WITH ITEMS THAT FANS LEFT WITH THE OC DUGOUT TO HAVE SIGNED. THATS ONE OF THE OC DUGOUT'S GREAT SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDES. FOR FUTURE SIGNINGS THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, THIS IS ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN STILL SCORE ON AUTOGRAPHS.

 MARK LANGSTON WAS GREAT. FANS WOULD WALK UP TO THE TABLE AND TALK ABOUT HOW LANGSTON WAS THEIR FAVORITE PLAYER AS A KID AND HOW HE WOULD TRADE HIS NOLN RYAN CARDS FOR LANGSTON CARDS. THATS A TRUE LANGSTON FAN.

 FANS OF ALL AGES CAME OUT TO SEE "WALLY WORLD" A WALLY JOYNER AUTOGRAPH IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ANGELS FAN. NOT ONLY DID JOYNER SIGN AUTOGRAPHS, HE TALK TO ALL THE FANS AS IF HE KNEW THEM. THATS HOW WELCOME JOYNER MADE EVERYONE FEEL. WHAT A GREAT GUY.

BEFORE MARK LANGSTON LEFT. LANGSTON WAS TALKING ABOUT BASEBALL. GIVING TIPS ON PITCHING TO CO-OWNER BRIAN'S YOUNGER BROTHER. I HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME HANGING OUT WITH MARK LANGSTON AND TALKING ABOUT THE PRESS CONERFENCE. MARK LANGSTON EVEN GAVE MARK TRUMBO A SMALL TIP. LANGSTON SAID " HEY MARK WHEN YOU SIGN A BIG CONTRACT, MAKE SURE TO TAKE OFF YOUR SUNGLASSES WHEN TALKING TO THE MEDIA" LANGSTON WAS REEFERING TO CJ WILSON.

THE BIG TALK DURING THE EVENT WAS MARK TRUMBO AND THE TRADE RUMOR. WHERE IS MARK TRUMBO GOING? SOME FANS ASK TRUMBO THEMSELVES, AND EVEN GAVE TRUMBO THERE OWN THOUGHTS TO THE RUMORS... JUST RUMORS.IT WOULD BE A MISSTAKE TO TRADE TRUMBOMB. TRUMBO CAN LEARN FROM PUJOLS AND CONTINUE TO BE A BEAST. OVER ALL THIS EVENT WAS ADDED TO MY LIST OF ALL TIME GREAT SIGNINGS. EITHER WAY WHETHER YOU WERE AT THE BIG A OR THE OC DUGOUT IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR ALL US ANGELS FANS! TILL NEXT TIME, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE AUTOGRAPH LINES.

Recap from the GARY PAYTON signing at The OC Dugout.

First off let me say this was the BEST signing I've ever been to. I thought the Reggie Jackson back in July was topps! with Reggie Jackson wanting to go in threw the fornt door, so he could thank all the fans for coming out and posing for picturesthe.The  first person in line arrived at The OC Dugout around 8am. I didn't arrive till 10am and there was about 6 people waiting. At first i thought the event was cancelled, but then about 10:30am the crowd came out of nowhere. The fans came ready to meet the future Hall Of Famer. Gary Payton showed up early and thats always a good sign when the quset shows up early.Gary Payton showed up ready, and ready to meet the fans.

I was given permission to be inside by The OC Dugout when Gary Payton arrived and to hang out for the entire signing. The Gary Payton I seen while taking a tour of The OC Dugout, was a sports fan. Gary Payton's eyes were everywhere. Gary Payton was looking at  all the new packs of cards,all the memorabilia and the item that caught his eyes, was a Babe Ruth figure. Sad to say Gary Payton is a San Francisco Giants fan. That gose to show that no one is perfect.

Once the signing got started Gary Payton welcomed everyone by saying "hi and how are you" shaking hands and hi-fiving the kids.Everyone that asked for a picture with Gary Payton, Payton said "sure, lets get some pictures". Gary Payton would get right up from his seat,walk around the table, and pose with everyone. No Gary Payton didn't do the Bunny ears like Bert Blyleven did lol. Gary Payton took his time with everyone that came out. Fans would ask questions and Gary Payton would answer them. Gary Payton gave the fans what they wanted.

The OC Dugout started something new, Live streaming broadcasting on BlogTV.com. This is something that The OC Dugout started on their Black Friday Sale. The whole event was on Live. Thanks to Tara Wheeler this event was seen live by those that weren't able to attend. Not only were you able to see this event live, but you were able to ask Gary Payton questions. If you don't belive me just ask The Real Rally Monkey. Gary Payton gave The Real Rally Monkey a shout out. One of the questions that someone asked Gary Payton was. If Gary Payton was to make a come back, what NBA player would he like to play with... Kobe, Lebron or Wade.Gary Payton said " KOBE"

Speaking of Kobe. During the signing  Lance (owner) had Gary Payton open up a pack of Panini National Treasure Basketball and Gary Payton pulls a Kobe Bryant Autograph card, how sweet is that!

Gary Payton got up to take a quick break and seen some kids . Gary Payton then walked over to them, ask what packs of cards did they want and bought them. I have never seen that before, not by anyone let a lone by a pro athlete. Gary Payton made 4 new fans. I don't know what it is or how they do it, but The OC Dugout keeps surprising us fans with some great guest. The Reggie Jackson signing is what started this all for me.ever since that signing I've been a Fan of The OC Dugout and how they run their shop and signings. And I'm not the only one that thinks that wat about The OC Dugout. On Monday Nov, 28th I went to the Shaq book signing and I couldn't help but to hear a  great conversation about the Dee Gordon signing.  This goes to show how awesome these signings are. I can't wait to see who will be the next guest to blow us autograph seekers away. Till then I'll be the one wearing AngelsandLakers in the autograph line.

THAT WAS AWESOME, TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE TO MEET THE FUTURE OF THE ANGELS. NOT ONLY WAS THIS A GREAT SIGNING, BUT IT WAS THE GRAND OPENING!

WHEN I FINALLY MADE MY WAY INSIDE OC SPORTS CARDS. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY  HOW NICE THE INSIDE OF THE OC SPORTS CARDS LOOKED.

RECAP OF THE BERT BLYLEVEN SIGNING AT THE OC DUGOUT.

FIRST OFF LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THE OC DUGOUT HAD PUT ON ONE HECK OF A SIGNING. BERT BLYLEVEN SIGNING WAS AWESOME FROM START TO FINISH. I ARRIVED TO THE OC DUGOUT AROUND 10:20AM, TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. BY THE TIME THE SIGNING STARTED THERE WAS ABOUT 60 PEOPLE. THE SIGNING STARTED SLOW BUT IT SOON PICKED UP. PEOPLE WOULD COME IN SMALL GROUPS AT A TIME AND THEY KEPT COMING. EVEN AFTER BLYLEVEN HAD LEFT PEOPLE WERE STILL COMING IN HOPEING TO MEET THE NEWEST HALL OF FAMER. THE OC DUGOUT EVEN HAD DONUTS FOR EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT.THESE WEREN'T YOUR NORMAL SIZE DONUTS. THESE DONUTS WERE ON THAT BARRY BONDS JUICE...LOL THEY WERE HUGE!

BERT BLYLEVEN WOULD START OFF BY ASKING EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TO MEET HIM HOW WERE THEY DOING AND WHAT CITY WERE THEY FROM TO THANK THEM FOR MAKING THE TRIP. BLYLEVEN SEEN HERE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF HIS BASEBALL STORYS AND BOY DID HE HAVE SOME STORYS. SOMEONE ASK BLYLEVEN GROWING UP AS A KID WHAT WAS HIS FAVORITE BASEBALL TEAM. BLYLEVEN SAID " I'M AN ANGELS FAN AND WILL ALWAYS WILL BE". ONE OF BLYLEVEN'S STORY WAS ABOUT A TIME WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 19 AND TWO ANGEL PLAYERS HAD COME IN THE STORE THAT HE WAS WORKING AT THE TIME AND BLYLEVEN ASKED IF HE COULD GET THEIR AUTOGRAPH. THE PLAYERS SAID YES AND AFTER BLYLEVEN SAID  THE AUTOGRAPHS WERE UNREADABLE AND SAID TO HIMSELF THAT IF HE EVER MADE IT TO THE PROS THAT HIS SIGNATURE WOULD BE READABLE AND LET ME TELL YOU IT IS.

ONE THING THAT BERT BLYLEVEN IS KNOWN FOR IS HIS PRANKS. EVERYONE THAT ASK FOR A PICTURE WITH THE NEWEST HALL OF FAMER GOT THE BUNNY EARS. WHAT A SENCE OF HOMOR BLYLEVEN HAS. YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE EARS TILL YOU SEEN THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN OF YOUR CAMERA. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST FUN I'VE SEEN AT AN AUTOGRAPH SIGING, BUT BLYLEVEN ALSO HAS ANOTHER SIDE TO HIM AND THATS TO HELP. BLYLEVEN DOES A LOT OF FUNDRASING FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BLYLEVEN'S FUNDRASING FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE GOTO http://www.bertblyleven.com/ OR http://www.circlemebert.com/ PART OF TODAYS SIGNING PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS BLYLEVEN CHARITY FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

ONCE AGAIN THE OC DUGOUT HAD ANOTHER GREAT SIGING FOR THE RECORD BOOKS. I SEEN EVERY PERSON LEAVE HAPPY BUT MOST OF ALL WITH A HUGE SMILE ON THEIR FACES, OLD AND YOUNG. EVERY ONE OF BERT BLYLEVEN'S AUTOGRAPHS LOOKED VERY NICE. THE INSCRIPTIONS WERE AWESOME TO READ. THE FUNNEST INSCRIPTION WAS THE " I LOVE TO FART"... TOO FUNNY! ONCE AGAIN HATS OFF TO ALL THE GUYS AT THE OC DUGOUT. LANCE AND BRIAN THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO MEET A FAN FAVORITE AND NEWEST HALL OF FAMER. CONTINUE THE GREAT JOB. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT THE NEXT ONE, TILL THEN... GO ANGELS!!!

SANTANA WAS GREAT! HE WAS ALL SMILES, GREATING EVERYONE AS THEY CAME FORTH WITH THERE ITEM(S). TAKING PICTURES WITH SANTANA WELL HE SIGN YOUR ITEM(S). AT ONE POINT SANTANA'S PEOPLE WERE SAYING NO PICTURES, BUT THEN SANTANA'S PEOPLE SAID ONLY WELL HE'S SIGNING. THAT'S BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE CAME OUT TO MEET MR. NO-HITTER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET SANTANA. AFTER YOU PASS SANTANA, IT WAS TIME TO MEET HALL OF FAMER... ROD CAREW! I WAS EXCITED. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MR.CAREW. OFF THE BACK ROD CAREW'S PEOPLE SAID NO PICTUES! ...THAT SUCKS. I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FELT LIKE THAT, BUT NOT ONLY THAT. ONE OF THE PHOTOS THAT THE OC DUGOUT WAS SELLING COULD NOT BE SIGNED. THIS WAS NOT THE OC DUGOUT'S FAULT. THIS CAME FROM ROD CAREW'S PEOPLE AND THEY WERE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO CAREW. CAREW WAS LIMITED TO WHAT HE CAME SIGN. THE NO PICTURE THING WAS A LIL TO MUCH. A LOT OF FANS WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I KNOW THE OC DUGOUT WASN'T. BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO? NOTHING BECAUSE ITS A BUSINESS AND YOU WANT TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP, SO THE NEXT SIGNING WILL BE BETTER AND WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE. BOTH SANTANA AND CAREW GAVE OUT SWEET AUTOGRAPHS. PEOPLE WERE HAPPY WITH JUST MEETING AND RECEIVING THERE AUTOGRAPH(S) WALKING AWAY WITH SMILES.

TIM "KING FISH" SALMON ARRIVED RIGHT ON TIME. THE SALMON SIGNING WAS SCHEDULE FROM 1-3PM. THERE WAS  ABOUT 100 PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE FOR KING FISH.SALMON CAME IN READY TO MEET AND SIGN FOR HIS FANS.  I'VE MEET SALMON BEFORE AND I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT KING FISH. A REALLY NICE GUY AND WILL ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO SIGN AND TAKE PICTURES WITH THE KIDS. THE LINE WENT  BY SO QUICK. THAT SOME OF US HUNG AROUND AND ATE CAKE. THATS RIGHT CAKE!... THERE WAS A REALLY NICE LOOKING ANGELS CAKE. THE KIDS SAT BY A TABLE NEXT TO KING FISH AND ATE CAKE. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT! HOW MANY KIDS CAN SAY THAT THEY HAD CAKE WITH TIM SALMON...LOL. WELL SALMON WAS SIGNING ITEMS FOR THE OC DUGOUT AND FOR FANS THAT COULDNT MAKE IT TO THE SIGNING BUT DROP OFF THERE ITEM(S) I WAS ASKING SALMON WHAT NICKNAME DOES HE PREFER? SALMON SAID " I LIKE KING FISH. I DONT LIKE BEING CALLED MR.ANGEL". I THINK KING FISH IS A SWEET NICKNAME. OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT DAY AT THE OC DUGOUT. ONCE AGAIN THE OC DUGOUT SIGNING WAS A HIT. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SIGNING. IF YOUR NOT ON THE OC DUGOUT'S EMAILING LIST, GET ON IT. YOU WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT ALL THE UP COMING APPEARANCES AND EVENTS. TILL NEXT TIME... GO ANGELS!!!

RECAP OF THE TORII HUNTER SIGNING AT RALPHS IN ANAHEIM

 FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO THANK PEPSI MAX FOR THIS EVENT. ME AND MY FAMILY ARRIVE AT RALPHS AT 5:15AM AND THERE WAS ALREADY PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. THERE WAS ABOUT 28 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF US.THE FIRST PERSON IN LINE GOT THERE AT 3AM. BY 6AM THERE WAS ABOUT 65 PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. BY 9AM THERE WAS OVER 300 PEOPLE IN LINE. BY 10:40AM THERE WAS 500 PEOPLE. TORII WAS LATE.THE EVENT WAS SCHEDULE TO START AT 11AM. THE EVENT DIDNT START TILL 11:40AM AND THE LINE WAS STILL GROWING 600+ PEOPLE. BY 12:40 THE ANAHEIM POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO CUT THE LINE IN HALF. THE LAST HALF OF THE LINE WAS SENT HOME WITHOUT THE CHANCE TO MEET TORII HUNTER. FOR THESE KIND OF EVENTS YOU HAVE TO BE THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING.SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK THATS CRAZY TO BE THERE SO EARLY, BUT THATS WHAT YOU GOTTA DO IN ORDER TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH. LET ME TELL YOU HOW CRAZY FREE SIGNINGS CAN GET AND WHY TO BE AT THESE SIGNINGS SO EARLY.1. ITS FREE AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE FREE STUFF. 2. A NICE AUTOGRAPH THE FURTHER YOU ARE IN LINE, THE WEAKER THE AUTOGRAPH. 3.THE LATER YOU ARRIVE THE LESS CHANCE YOU HAVE TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH.4.ITS WHEN THE PERSON THAT IS SIGING FINDS OUT HOW EARLY YOU SHOWED UP TO BE FIRST! WOULD ALWAYS THANK YOU AND WOULD USUALLY TAKE PICTURES WITH YOU AND SIGN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WITH YOU. AT LEASE I ALWAYS HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME. AT FREE SIGINGS! YOU MIGHT SAY "BUT MY KIDS ARE TOO SMALL AND ITS TOO COLD TO TAKE THEM OUT THAT EARLY" THEN YOU GO AND HOLD YOUR SPOT IN LINE WHILE SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS YOUR KIDS ( NOT THE NEIGHBORS KIDS,YOUR FRIENDS KIDS,THE KIDS FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL...ect. PUT UP ALL YOUR CHAIRS AND LET THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU KNOW THAT YOUR KIDS WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY,AND IF THEY DONT LIKE IT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THERE BEFORE YOU! IF YOU NEVER CAME OUT TO AN AUTOGRAPH SIGNING EARLY IN THE MORNING. IT'S TRULY A LOT OF FUN AND NOT ONLY WILL YOU MEET NEW PEOPLE BUT YOU WILL FIND OUT ABOUT OTHER UP COMING EVENTS. SEE YOU IN THE LINES.
