I have a Kirkman story from last year, actually 2.

So it was Thursday and I missed the image ticket giveaway and I kept waiting in the overflow line but didn't know if he was going to sign so I hadn't purchased the hardcovers, those are the versions I decided on (to me they look the best even better than the compendium exclusive.) Any way fast forward to almost a half hour after his signing was supposed to be done and stupid me still hadn't bought the books or gotten on line until they decide to cut the line. But he is still hanging around after the signing so I get a photo of me and him.
I went home printed out the photo and the next day and I made sure to get the signing ticket and decide to buy the first 5 hardcovers (of the 8 ) and had him sign the hardcovers and the photo! Very nice of him to do it.

While I was on line on Friday though I was infront of a guy who was clearly looking to get Kirkman sigs for resale, so I was talking to him and I found out he actually worked for Desert Comics and they are the people who actually organize the Stan Lee autographs at their booth as well as doing CGC's. Kirkman was signing up to 20 items per person, so the guy apparently lost his ticket which meant he couldn't get the sigs. So I agreed to take 14 of the comics after my 6 items and negotiated a Stan Lee autograph out of the deal.

Our exchange was pretty funny though. He was like well could you do this. And I was like I dunno, I don't really know you. He was like well I can offer you a signing ticket, so then I agreed. Although the person next to me who was on the line who was also helping out the desert comics guy was, who was also receiving an autographing ticket, said I was driving a hard bargain.

i'm with you on this.  I've approached folks in the kirkman line to get an item signed but i offered something in return.  the SL signing tix is totally cool & way more then i offer!

I mean if a person asked for 1 item I would gladly add it to my pile and I wouldn't even ask for anything. But he asked to get him his copies 14 signed, so for that I did ask for something back. Also I slightly suspect that the signatures I got from Kirkman were a bit rushed because of that. But this year I'll buy book 5-8 and 9 if it releases in time and that would be it.

I used to have this funny gif of my friend hugging Seth Green. It wasn't until I was editing it at home that we released that she was rubbing/raping his shoulder.

But myspace decided to eat all it's old accounts
>:O

If I ever get an autograph from Seth Green, I am going to ask him to sign:

“To Chris-- 

Get away from me, you lazy eyed psycho. 

Love, Seth”

He seems cool enough that he might do it.

OMG Seth is best. He really loves his fans and will hang out with you! People go crazy over the walking dead meet and great tickets that they totally forget the robot chicken meet and great! And after panels he talk/signs stuff but has to be kicked out by the staff to make room of the next panel. I got the whole crew to sign my robot chicken toy. He even drew a heart over the chickens heart/button and took a personal selfie with me.

Silly me still hasn't scaned this yet. Got them to pose with my old helmet
XD



The great thing about him is that he is also a real geek just like us!
