Hi Georgie,
I am a little late on this report. Work has been non stop so I have been a little behind on things. But I definitely wanted to express what a great time we had at Signamania.
Taylor and I had a wonderful time at the Signamania convention last Saturday. George and his staff are to be commended on a job well done. The location of the convention is such a plus with ample room to walk around and space to sit if you choose to. Also, plenty of parking makes the site ideal for a wrestling convention. Georges staff did a great job handling the crowd and made sure that you were in your correct numbered spot. We also had a staff member help take our photos and walked the line with us for both sessions which was great.
All the wrestlers on the super ticket line were wonderful and treated us well. My favorite from the super ticket lineup was Dusty Rhodes. He signed our many items with big beautiful signatures and made sure we were happy with everything. Another goodie was Matt Borne. He couldn't have been friendlier. Team 3 D had their TNA tag belts which made for a great photo opt.
As far as vendor guests go they were all very nice too. K+S had Iceman King Parsons and Brickhouse Brown for the morning session. For me it was a thrill to meet these two. Both were super nice and couldn't do enough for you. In the afternoon K+S had R+R Express and Jim Cornette. Again, all three were very friendly. I picked up a copy of JC new book. I definitely recommend the book to everyone. K+S as always came through with some great guests for this convention. They continue to sign rare talent and both Ken and Steve do their best to make sure everyone leaves their table happy. LOTR was also vending and had Bart Gunn and Lacey Von Erich as their guests. We did get an item signed by Bart but skipped Lacey. Business was brisk at the LOTR table and Terrence and James handled the crowd beautifully running an organized signing. Bill Watts was another thrill for me. George, Signamania's CEO had Bill as a vendor guest. The line was pretty long but run in an orderly fashion. When we got up to Mr Watts he couldn't have been friendlier. We spoke for a bit and I had a chance to look at his WWE HOF ring which was awesome. A highlite for me on this Saturday was finally getting to meet Bill Watts. More vendor guests we met were Arn Anderson, Jimmy Hart and the Nasty Boys along with Bill Demott courtesy of Franklin Square Video. Demott for me was another first time meet and he was super friendly. As the day ended we needed one more auto and headed over to Bill Payley who had Shelly Martinez as a guest. Bill greeted us with a friendly hand shake and we got what we needed signed by Shelly. She was very friendly and a pleasure to visit with.
The day was coming to a close and it was time to head home. In closing I want to thank George and Marc the Signamania Head Hounchos for making this day extra special for us. Everytime I saw these guys during the course of the day they would ask if everything was ok, or if we needed anything. You guys are awesome. Also want to that James and Terrence from LOTR, for the Bart Gunn hookup. Thanks so much, can't wait until LOTR this month. Also a HUGE Thank You to K+S for continuing to turn over every stone in bringing us the rarest talent that they can find. You guys do a great job so keep up the great work.
Already counting down the days until the next Signamania which will take place Oct 3 so mark that date on your calendar.
