So she invited her friend, and it turns out her friend's uncle is Bubba Tyer, and he apparantly hooked her and my sister up with a couple VIP passes.

Well I thought it wasn't a big deal cuz I heard about the VIP passes they were giving out for old lottery tickets, so we get to camp about 6:45 today and they get their actual Redskins VIP passes, and then once we get inside I go to the Virginia Lottery tent and they give me a wristband that is not a VIP pass at all, it's just so you can go to this secluded area at the far end of the field.

So my sister and her friend, being girls and all, decide to go by themselves to the VIP area and hang out there. So I took up a spot by myself on the fence where all the players usually sign autographs as they are walking up from the end of practice. In hindsight I shouldn't have bothered staking my claim in the autograph area, I should've just gone to that little Virginia Lottery secluded VIP area and taken pictures. Well I stand in my spot until the time practice ends, and then it just so turns out that nobody on the team wants to do autographs except for maybe five players, who were, Jason Goode, H.B. Blades (I got his), Cory Raymer, Burl Toler (I got his too), and an unidentified white guy who I thought was either Derrick Frost or Durant Brooks, but they were signing the VIP's stuff so I never got a good look at them.

The highlight of my day was seeing Matt Terl (sp?), the official blogger of the 'Skins, and I was like, hey are you Matt Terl, the official blogger for the Redskins? And he was like, yeah I am, hi!, and I was like, I read your blog, I'm one of the guys who actually likes it, and he was like, thanks man, and that was it.

I left about 10:20ish, I saw Santana Moss and Marcus Washington walk by, Marcus was signing autographs but he passed by my section of the fence, and then once he left there was pretty much nobody there so I decided it was time to go.

I might go again tomorrow, although I'm extremely low on cash because I spent what was left of my money buying a new ball (33 bucks? Seriously? lol) so I could get something autographed. All in all though I was pretty happy just to be back at Redskins Park and seeing the guys in action, well it's better than nothing, and I'm glad I made it out there.

Glad you went and had an ok time even if you didn't get a bunch of autographs. It is hit or miss with the players. You just never know if they are going to sign. That is why my day at camp was just so unbeilvable!
