This was the first time
that I went to a NHL autograph signing, so I didn’t know what to expect. I had
debated since Wednesday at what time I should arrive, I ended up going for 7 am
as the ideal time to be there. So after a 45 minute drive from my house I
arrived at the Panorama City Living Spaces and there was a line of
approximately 50 people, so I was in a good spot in line (the signing open for
the first 300 fans in line).
There was some
hardcore Kings fans there, check out this guy that had 2 brand new tattoos related
to the Kings:
Approximately at 8:30 am
Living Spaces employees opened the store and started giving out wristbands and
let a first group inside. Around 9 I went for breakfast and on my way back I
took this picture, I’d say that there were 150 to 200 fans at that time.
Around 10:10 am the
first fans in line were coming out with their autographed items, some of them
with more than 1 auto.
At 10:30 am I got into
the store, where I noticed that he was only signing one item per person because
the store personnel took your item and put it on the table, while another
person stopped everybody that was trying to get more than 1 thing signed. That
happened to Joel, who was in front of me and Dustin said “I’m sorry” after the
security guy didn’t allow him to get his puck autographed after he got a jersey
signed.
Dustin signed this
Stanley Cup 2012 Champions puck for me; I was debating either in getting it in
black or silver . . . . but I let him decide and he autographed in black.
Thanks to Dustin
Brown, the LA Kings and Living Spaces for this event.
It came out nice! Kings fans are pretty hardcore.
