Swedish Wings Autograph Signing
So I went to the autograph signing last night at the Fan Zone in Westland Mall featuring the five gold medalists (Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Kronwall, and Samuelsson). I had pre-bought a signed 16×20 photograph of the five. I must say that I am very pleased with my purchase. Not so pleased with Fan Zone. But the photgraph will look great in my shrine (aka my room).First off, I was told I could pick my photo up right at 7pm. I thought I’d have to wait in line with the rest of the people who only bought the 16×20 photograph. I waited an hour and a half officially killing my knee. Secondly, I was bummed that I spent $150 and wasn’t even allowed to take a photo inside the room of the players. people who spent $20 to get let’s say got Kronwall to sign an 8×10 photo got to shake his hand, take photo(s), talk to them, AND get the autograph. I felt shafted. Oh well, I’ve only gone to like 4 autograph signings so I’m still learning the ropes and I do like my purchase a lot. It made my entire family jealous. 
Here are some photos from the event. Sorry that they are blurry and not the best, but we weren’t allowed to take photos in the “room” so I shot all but one (which I quickly took inside) outside and people kept walking in front ruining my shots. The first two photos are of my 16×20 photograph & certificate of authenticity. I hope to scan both of them in whenever I can over the next couple weeks, but for now these quick photos will have to work! The guys were lined up with Samuelsson closest to the room’s entrance with Lidstrom farthest away (thus, he’s in maybe one photo).
