latinoheat578 with BJ Penn & JD Penn
Headed over to Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ tonight for the BJ Penn signing… was scheduled to start at 7 . BJ got there a few minutes and after doing some interviews the signing started on time. They had a flyer at the register that said BJ would ONLY be signing his book and a quick lean-in table shot would be allowed with your camera. Their rules kind of turned me off since usually Bookends and also UFC signings in the past have not been strict. But regardless since the signing is not far from my house, my wife and I headed over anyway.
Once BJ sat down they again reminded us about no additional sigs but BJ’s people put a 2nd chair next to him at the table so that the fans could sit down with him, get the book signed and get a posed photo opp.. That at least made it a little more worth it.
The signing went by pretty quick… when I got to the table I asked BJ that if I were to hang till the end, would I be able to get my stuff signed… he responded by saying ‘absolutely’ and asked his brother , Jay Dee Penn, to film a piece with me and my wife for his website while we waited… (the audio quality sucks but oh well..)
finally as the line died down BJ’s camp told the people waiting for xtra items to get back on line and we’d be taken care of.. I had 2 items for BJ so I had my wife go thru with 1 while I took the other.
Here’s my signed items and pics taken… all in all a great experience… goes to show that sometimes it’s best to go to these shows rather than rely on the management telling you ‘what they heard’… it’s 90% up to the talent appearing. (like Bookends and FYE have done in the past).
