AND PHOTO’s……
Dear Georgie,
here is my review of the Stone Cold signing in NYC. Feel free to use the photos I have attached.
Today Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared @ FYE Music – 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY. He was signing his DVD the Condemned. I got there about 2pm and I was suprised that the line was not too long. I was about 100 in line. I went in got my dvd and wristband and waited. By the time 6PM came around, there were about 500-600 people. They let in about 15-20 people at a time. While in line the camera crew from wwe 24/7. They went up and down the line. By the time my group of people were allowed in, they said, " Stone Cold was only signing DVDS, and you can't get your photos with him, you can take a pic of him signing your stuff." I think this is unfair because they should have said this before hand. I saw people come out with belts, shirts, and figures signed. But alas, what is done is done.
I had my WWE Heavyweight Championship DVD Inlay signed, they never said which dvd. I handed the security guard the inlay and I told him to please be careful with it. He handed it to Austin, then I was allowed to approach him. He looked at the inlay and he said, " Where did you get Billy Grahams autograph?" I told him I know his promoter and had it sent out to him. I asked Austin "Did Vince comp you a copy of the dvd?" Austin replied" I got one of everything" I told him that he is the first one to be comped a copy of the dvd. He thanked me for coming out and shook my hand.
Austin was a very approachable person and very appreciative that fans came out to see him.
The only complaints I have was that they should have told everyone what he was signing at first, you cold not get a picture of you and him, and the people at the store were pushing you out.
The set up was well organized I liked how the let in a few people at a time. If you get a chance to meet Stone Cold, I highly recommend the chance.
