DAN AYKROYD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE BLUES

     If You pay attention to movies  over the years Actor DAN AYKROYD is everywhere and has played some memorable roles that are some ones favorites no matter who You talk to. I have met Dan a few times , once when he co hosted a United Cerebral Palsy Fundraiser and when he was signing bottles of his Vodka at different times over the years. As he gets older( ca not believe he is 62) he has truly shown his appreciation of his fans and his fans have shown their loyalty to him.

the latest opportunity was supposed to be a 2 hour signing at a Walgreens where they had 600 bottles to sell and Dan to autograph.

    As always Dan will sign other items but true to form of the autograph business ,some will always take advantage of a celebrity kindness and in the long run ruin it for others. Though You were supposed to but a bottle many did not but Dan did sign anyway. All stood outside patiently in line getting there as early as 8:30 am and the average wait was 4 hours in a very HOT day.The added bonus today We met some new friends that made the time go by faster sharing stories and and enjoying the company. Most had between 2 to 5 items and I would say 95% were true fans. But again some had so many items that were going to be sold probably as early as that evening that they cut it down to only 3 per person as the day dragged on and on.
Dan was a true Trooper and signed away for over the allowed time to make sure everyone got a picture with his trademark smile and glasses. When I finally made it up to where he was sitting with My Bottle and I had 5 photos ,3 that were promised to others. He said " Only can do 3" which I said I understand. But as he signed we talked about the Fundraiser and my pictures, he said" I can make an exception as You are a good man". I kept thinking No he is the good Man and it is shown with all his fans who came out ,some dressed in Ghostbuster Garb and never a complaint about waiting for him.
