Categories: Columns, ReportSend feedback » •I had originally planned on meeting Maria yesterday at LOTR but when she got delayed I couldn’t swing the extra waiting time. I decided to make the 45 minute drive to Queens and hit up the Wrestling Universe signing to virgilize her once and for all.
I arrived at the signing around 1:20, forty minutes before the scheduled start and saw 15 fans waiting on line outside. I went into the store to hang out with Ira who was working the signing and shoot the shit with him until she arrived. Maria arrived promptly at 2:00 and I met her right away and got out quickly.
Since I met her before the line was let in the store, I actually decided to say a few words to Maria and she was friendly as always. She had good things to say about Marc and George’s debut show in PA and said the crowd was surprisingly strong for a first time event. We even discussed the legendary status of Ira Knobler and she said he had “a face you could never forget". How cool is that?! :shock:
Ira snapped two very good photos for me, much better than 95% of the people hired to take photos at conventions.
One of our users mrira worked the Maria signing and sent us a report.
I arrived at about 1:30 & Jack told me I would be doing photographs & I was cool with that. Maria arrived about 1:50 & remembered me from our previous 2 meetings & then she looked through the store & the signing began just about on time. I chit chatted with Maria through out the day on various topics. Most of the questions through out the day were either about her firing or Celebrity Apprentice. The line was constant throughout the signing & I believe the last person was done at about 3:45 at which time I got my stuff done, the same program as Dana & a print out of the photo I got with her at the Coldstone Creamery signing which she absolutely loved, then I hugged her & went on my way. This was definently a great day & had alot of fun with her.
