GETTING ANY AUTOGRAPH IS NOT EASY

If people who chase for any autograph for fun or profit we all have been asked "  how do you get to meet so many celebrities ?" Some believe we are successful every time but the true grapher will tell you it is a lot of work. Knowing that they may be there, locating and then getting to them is all part of the process. Many times it may run like clockwork but just like life you run into many bumps in the road. This happened this past week though successful in most non came easy.
Attended the TIM TEBOW golf Tournament where a few names participated and usually everyone is up close and a laid back atmosphere. Everything was not what we expected. Ropes kept everyone at bay so getting up close was not happening plus no items were. It allowed  Security were rude and even escorted a friend back to his car because he tried to get a photo signed. Though we did get some autographs it was not what we expected and definitely not enjoyable as in the past.
We drove to see THE BLUES BROTHERS at Strawberry Festival and all our information was that it was a venue that you can meet the performers. We positioned ourselves where we thought it was possible but found out that they too were having the infamous Meet and Greet. With about 20 fans who paid good money only to hear our respects fall on deaf ears to no avail.
We headed to one of our favorite events for an old time country music star but when getting there only to find out it was not a 2:30 event but 7:30. Lucky enough the manager took our items on the bus to be signed. Now some went great including TONY BENNETT, JON SEBASTIAN and even THE ORLANDO JAZZ FESTIVAL so It comes out even sometimes. Many times I will sit back and realize how cool it was to meet so and so but there is always so many variables from Travel, Time, Venues and the Personalities themselves that never make it so easy and sometimes it will wear you out. But down deep always there is a flame of passion and why we keep going back.🌞
