Do you have anything autographed?

[Symarip]

I had front row to the last set of Oingo Boingo concerts in San Diego. Knowing this would be the last time I'd have a chance to get some of my collectibles autographed, I brought down 6 or 7 of my more rare LPs and singles. I worked my way backstage and had Danny sign all my records. This one in particular he was impressed with because he had never seen it before. Score!

[Auggie]

[HopeHoops]

2. A CD signed by all of the members of Spyro Gyra

[BeachBaby]

45. Yeah. Met him, Baba Booey, Scott the Engineer, Stuttering John....

and even talked to Robin in the bathroom.

And I am not saying ANYTHING more about my experience; but to say that it was unforgettable, would be the understatement of the year.

[CreekDog]

'When You Are Engulfed in Flames' signed by, well, David Sedaris. Wouldn't make much sense if it were signed by anyone else, now would it?



By the way, the autograph on the left... is that Johnny 'Vatos' Hernandez?

[Symarip]

13. Indeed it is

He signed something else of mine and wrote in spanglish 'you es mui loco' because my collection contains alot of items even the bandmembers neither own and/nor have ever seen.

[southpaw]

42. Sweet

Vatos and Avila are a killer rhythm section

The first time I met them, after their concert in June 2007, they signed my CD. The second time, back in January, I had this awesome rainbow sweatshirt that they signed. Now I'm wondering what to do with the sweatshirt, since I'm afraid to wear it. :P

[Tikki]

25. Some musician autographs...

Sky Saxon, Sam The Sham, all of The Naughty Sweeties, Exene Cervenka and
Mickey Leigh. I'm not so much an autograph person, except for Exene...
I went after that one.

[Symarip]

27. I think I'm going to go see X in NYC next month

It always weirds me out to see bands I consider 'So Cal' in New York. It should be fun.

[Tikki]

28. We saw X in Nov....with...get ready for it...

The New York Dolls...well, the new New York Dolls.
And it was grand.

We saw them in LA so I know what you mean about
the NY~LA thing...

The Tikkis
ps..it will be fun..

[Symarip]

29. I saw The Aggrolites in NYC last year

And it completely tripped me out. Different fans... Different kinds of fans. All that. They're such the So Cal band in my head.

And I'd LOVE to see the NY Dolls in any shape or form.

[abq e streeter]

34. I'm envious; hope they get to New Mexico ( I was out of town last time they played santa Fe)

Although I have seen Auntie Christ, with Exene and DJ, and saw John Doe sing Your Cheatin heart with Los Lobos and Dave Alvin, but never seen X...

[abq e streeter]

40. See if I can remember them all--Bo Diddley from when I played a gig with him once

not as exciting as it sounds--I never got paid, and actually had such a nightmarishly off- night, that I probably didn't deserve to get paid. Other musicians--Marshall Crenshaw, Junior Wells, Willie Dixon and all of his band ( opened for them), Jan Berry... let's see, um... all of the Persuasions, Delbert McClinton, Stanley Jordan, John Sebastian( all opening act gigs also) ...baseball players including Sandy Koufax, Curt Flood,Joe Cunningham, just to name a few....and a couple of (shudder) republicans: Pete Domenici, and H.R. Haldeman...Most of the musician ones are on albums, or flyers for the shows.

[mitchum]

62. Jan Berry...I just finished reading Bob Greene's "When We Get To Surf City"...

it is a fantastic and incredibly moving book. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Rest In Peace, Jan.

'Anansi Boys' and 'Good Omens' signed by Neil Gaiman (the latter needs a Pratchett to go with it). Probably a few others I can't remember. I'm not a big autograph-collector person, but it's nice to have an excuse to talk to people whose work I like.

[Roon]

46. Here's OIngo Boingo on the Gong show before they made it big

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTRd1a5MVMw&feature=related

[Left Is Write]

47. Yup. Lots of stuff.

51. The Supremes, Smokey, Tim Curry, Chad Mitchell Trio, Mike Hammer, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry,

[Sky Masterson]

55. I got this one for a fellow DUer.

That's right! I got Chewies autograph!! :woohoo: Suck on that you jealous Mutha F_ckahs! :crazy:
I've got to get off my ass and get it in the mail.I'm a bad friend.:P

[Symarip]

56. Y'know, this has inspired me

I think next I bump into someone in either Star Wars or Star Trek (I've met people on both sides of the geek fence) I'm going to make them sign something from or for the competition. Like, have Chewbacca say 'live long and prosper' or have Leonard Nimoy write, Don't get cocky, kid.

Man. That's going to be awesome.

[Sky Masterson]

58. Or Spock saying "You bet your Asteroids kid!"

That would Rawk!:headbang:This is brilliant! :D

[Stuart G]

68. An autographed note from Chuck Jones...in relation to an

animation cell I had previously purchased.
Chuck took out a card and signed it to me and my ex wife, and dated it. A class act.

73. I have two baseball cards autographed - Dante Bichette and Ellis Burks.

Interestingly enough, both were cards of them before they played for the Rockies back in the 90's. My Burks card was from his time with the Red Sox, and my Bichette card was from when he played for Milwaukee.

Probably not worth a whole lot, but back when I was young they were a HUGE deal to me.

80. I have an uncommissioned James O'Barr painting

Lyric got it for me for Christmas a few years ago, knowing as she does how much of an O'Barr/Crow freak i am.
It's 10"x13", and the photo does not do the colors justice.

[Mopar151]

81. A rare triple Lagana

A Torco Race Fuels hat, signed by Bobby Lagana Sr, Bobby Jr, and Dom Lagana, at the NED/IHRA Nationals, after Friday night qualifying. These guys do more with less than anyone in nitro racing.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

82. I have a hardbound "A Rose For Ecclesiastes" signed by Roger Zelazny.

It was a gift from my brother. I have no idea how he got it. It's not a first edition novel- this book is in a graphic novel format.

It's currently in a box, in storage. I'll have to dig it out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rose_for_Ecclesiastes

[krispos42]

83. A copy of "Ruled Britannica" by Harry Turtledove

Hardcover.

[Dappleganger]

93. As a kid I had an obsession with horses

so one day I wrote Roy Rogers and Trigger and asked for their autografs. They and Dale Evans Rogers sent them and I still have 'em stuck in a drawer somewhere.

It was traumatizing when I discovered that he stuffed his horse when he died, too. I should have sued for pain and suffering. :P

[gmoney]

94. a 1977 Cincinnati Reds baseball

Won a contest and got to go into the locker room and meet the team before the game. I missed a couple of signatures, most notably Tom Seaver (he was off that day), but Rose, Bench, etc are all on there. Pedro Borbon menaced me with a razor wanting to cut my (admittedly overgrown) hair.

Have some albums and CDs signed by various bands/musicians, including Lou Reed, The Pixies, Elvis Costello, Marshall Crenshaw, Matthew Sweet, etc.

Also have some signatures I sent away for when I was a little kid. Got that book of celebrity addresses they used to publish, and wrote to a few, and some were nice enough to send something back. Alfred Hitchcock was one, Joe Dimaggio, and a few other baseball players. Also, got a number of cartoonists to send me sketches and art, including Al Jaffee (MAD), and Arnold Roth.

Think I have a signed Michael Moore book someplace as well from a bookstore appearance.
