The Event was GREAT! - 04/11/99 01:17 AM
Just got back from the Event at Warsaw Indiana today. What a great time we all had! We arrived early and beat the rush by about a half hour, this enabled me to get a few more pieces and have them signed in addition with the 10 that I took. My wife was very excited with the Thumbnail of Rose Island that Bill gave her. I thought Bill was going to fall off his chair when she asked him to sign it (I don't think they make pens that can write that small).
By getting there early we were able to have a really nice conversation with Bill and get some good pictures. It was a good thing that I reserved the event piece, they were selling like hotcakes! I talked to many non-collectors who were buying them just to take advantage of the signing opportunity. The owner told me that in the first hour he had sold more event pieces to casual visitors than actual collectors.
This was my first event, and one that I will never forget.
