Chris Cooley was supposed to be on the main stage at 5:15. I had to be at a wedding so couldn't stay, but that line was WAY too long for me anyway. People started waiting for Cooley at about 2pm in that line so that sucks. Cooley did show up briefly and signed some autos, I got a picture, but no auto. He seemed like a good guy, but I know a lot of people there were mad because he was supposed to be there Friday and didn't show and I guess he didn't come back to sign on Saturday either. Clinton Portis apparently made only the briefest of appearences on Friday night (basically passing through the lobby) so that was also basically false advertising by the Skins.
Personally, I think the whole thing could have been run a lot better and would not go back. Did get some autos and the guys all seemed very nice, especially Randy Thomas and Gary Clark. Got Andre Carter, Mike Sellers, Ross Tucker, Randy Thomas, Gary Clark, and Sam Hollenback. Not exactly what I was expecting and they really had no information on who was going to be where (which was intentional, I think, so people wouldn't get mad if players didn't show), some of the attendees had some good info, but you just had to get lucky and get next to one of those people. The guys who played golf probably had a good time, and the tailgate party might have been fun too, but the actually thing at the Convention Center was a disappointment to me, pretty disorganized.
