Autographs!

[jackrock]

anyone famous? musicans? actors/actresses? what does it say? how did you get them?

I have Pat Quinns john hancock...i sent him a letter (yeaaars ago) telling him how much i love the maple leafs and he sent me back a picture of him saying "go leafs go, jack... patt quinn" or something along the lines... it took me a while to decode the message (holy messy writing batman!)

now you go.

[kleptomaniac]

not one frickin' autograph (n) :(

[Bionic]

i have a Pierce Brosnan and a Renee Russo autograph from when they filmed Thomas Crown Affair at my school.

A girl asked me to get them for her. I was looking for his trailer when i saw him putting on a shirt through the window... yup I found him. We waited for him to come out to go to his car and when he was changing the cd changer in the trunk we approached him. He was putting a Jewel CD in for chrissakes!

i felt bad, but ey, the chick dug me for it.

Autograph - Turn Up The Radio (y)

[DandyFop]

I've got a few, but I don't really care about autographs. If I can meet someone and say hey thanks for whatever, I'd rather do that, or maybe get a picture if possible.

I do have quite a few RENT autographs from various actors back when I was obssessed with it.

Hmm what else

Lewis Black
David Sedaris
Jack Black/Kyle Gass

When you think about it, autographs are such a weird thing to want. Just someone scribbling their name down...When I met the Beasties we weren't allowed to ask them for anything, but MCA did give me a Ricola cough drop, and yes, I cherish it cause I'm a huge dork.

[dancin2beasties]

a shmuckload of dancers/actors/singers from various broadway shows/ballets/touring companies whom none of you probably know or care about.

when i was 9 the girl who played Felicity was in an advanced beginner ballet class w/ me at the broadway dance center. i didnt know who she was but she was next to me and was bad and kept stepping on my feet so i decided i didnt like her. afterwards she talked to us for a little and my friends mom was all crazy and she signed something for me, still having no clue who she was. i lost the paper though.

yeah, it's not so much the autograph i want, i just want to meet yauch and hug him :( (yeah, and a pic)

(and you can always just sell the autograph on ebay i guess....people will pay a lot.....suckas)

[ma belle]

the only one i kept is judge dread - the reggae musician, not the comic strip hero! i saw him play live by accident and i laughed long and hard. if you dont know why go download "rasta chat" or "big 10" from somewhere. (y)

[TurdBerglar]

autographs are stupid

[bigblu89]

I have a pretty decent amount of sports autographs. None better than this one though...

[fucktopgirl]

autographs are stupid


yes but can worth money!

insanity!

[Bionic]

autographs are stupid

Yeah!



plus they not are being gratifying if when person just they signature on paper. an photograf it along with them it is better most.

[dancin2beasties]

anyone here think they're going to sign autographs for people one day?

random question but i dont want to write my bio lab and im bored with beastie general. so yah. anyone plan on being famous?

[DandyFop]

This sounds bizarre and egotistical, and I don't mean it to be, but sometimes I do feel like I will be famous. My best friend and I feel destined to make awesome movies for lots of people.

[Tzar]

i have marcus gronholm's and daniel carlson's(sp) signature on a poster of the '05 WRC 307. other than that, i can't think of any.

Dexter Holland(Offspring)

I think it was 1998 I went to their concert, I never was a big fan of their music but since so few bands come here I decided to go, when I left the venue with my friend we saw him outside the back entrance, there was only two people around him plus bouncers (I knew one of the bouncers). As I said I never was a fan of Offspring and I don't know what happened but I was young and that was the first famous person I saw. We behaved strangely we were like Whoa Dexter! we started running to him and took the autograph.

I laugh every time when I remind this to myself. So stupid.

[discopants]

I have a few Oldham Athletic ones (y) (shut up!).
I used to have Gunnar Halle's but I lost the bugger. :(

[b-grrrlie]

I have hundreds of autographs, usually by bands on records or on tickets. It's the easiest way to get to talk to them.

[discopants]

Trouble with getting footballers autographs is that most of em can't spell.

[ms.peachy]

I don't really understand the appeal of an autograph. It's not something I can get excited about -like, yay, some famous person signed this piece of paper! Some things I get - like a ball used in a game signed by a favourite player, or a book signed by an author at a reading one has attended. But in general, it doesn't mean anything to me if someone says "I got so and so's autograph." They might as well be saying "I bought a loaf of bread."

My best friend and I feel destined to make awesome movies for lots of people.

cool. (y) (y)

[B4BY 4NN]

My sister has Bette Midler's autograph. I dunno.


bis (or Data Panik) FINALLY sent me an autograph and more pins after yearsandyears of waiting for a REAL response. That was nice.

I also have a postcard and and birthday card from that Atom and His Package guy. I didn't even ask for either of those.

And HAYASHI rubbed my face into his peen-area. That's better than an autograph.

[BangkokB]

Bette Midler
BaHaHaHa!!!! I want a poloraid of me tossing a midget onto Bette Midler though Barbara Streisand would do nicely as well

As for me. I have a MMM and $M signed copy of Hello when they played at Criminal Records in Little 5 Points....It says something about Little 5 but that disc isn't in my hall of fame at the moment

Boomer Esiason

When I was in high school I worked in a movie theater and he came in one slow night. Someone I worked with pointed out that he was breaking curfew (he played for the Bengals at the time). He came out during the movie and came to the concession stand and the lobby was completely empty. After I filled his order I grabbed a napkin and asked if he would sign it. He wrote "XOXO Boomer" and I was all "Oooh!" when I saw it, with the XOXO :o

I also got all the Phillies c. 1980 when I let a friend go to a game in my stead when we had seats right over the dugout because I chose to go on vacation with my best friend's family instead (it was a tough choice - my family only had those seats one time), on the condition that my friend take along my autograph book. He managed to get the book down to the dugout and they passed it along and all signed (except for Mike Schmidt :mad: ). Some of the signatures are upside down because of the way they passed it down the dugout. It includes Pete Rose's autograph, which might be worth some money. Unfortunately we had a puppy that chewed up the book so a lot of the autograph pages have teeth marks & stuff.

Oh also I used to go to FL for spring training (my grandfather lives in Bradenton where the Reds train) and I had Sean Casey sign a hat. That was his rookie year.

It's funny that all my autographs are from sports figures and I'm not really big on sports. I'm not really big on autographs either. I tried to get the Beastie Boys to sign a CD for my niece whose first birthday it was the day we saw them at Letterman but they weren't doing autographs.


Oh - and when I was really little I wrote a fan letter to Benji and got a photograph with his autograph - a pawprint - in return. :p

[abcdefz]

I used to have autographs but I've lost them all now.

A couple of 'em were autopen (Neil Armstrong, Jimmy Carter), but the genuine ones were:


Stephen King
Each of the guys from REM
Eric, Perry, and Steven (Stephen?) from Jane's Addiction
Peter Benchley

90% of the autographs I own I got in person, so they represent and aid in remembering the day I met that person.

Yes, it's much cooler to be able to show a picture of you and that person, but you don't always have a camera in hand, and sometimes at book signings and stuff they won't let you take pictures.

...this is sort of along the lines of why I didn't keep collecting. After I got the autographs of the guys from REM (at a bar where friends were hanging out), one of my friends pointed out that it was kind of... not dehumanizing exactly, but it was sort of treating people like objects or something. Not exactly being a starfucker, but a weird kind of "drinking at the dish of fame" kind of thing, since I wasn't exactly collecting my friends' autographs or anything. Made sense; I haven't asked for one since, except on my paychecks.

I dunno, I'm not that big on the photo of "Me and Famous Person" either. Because it's not like I feel I need to have something to show for the experience, I guess. It would feel weird to me to ask for someone to write their name on a piece of paper, just so I had it.

If there's an actual product - a book, a show program, a CD, etc - and it's part of a specific event (outside the backstage door or whatever), then that I can see. That makes sense and is an approprite marker of a time. But if I happen to spot someone famous that I might admire say sitting in the pub or out and about town or something, or even at a party or nightclub, then I just don't see any point. (Plus it's a bit rude and creepy, I think.)

I'm not saying that there's no point ever to autographs and photos, just that for me it would have to be a really special event or a real personal connection (like a shared experience - for example, a girl I went to high school with is now a reaonably well known author whom I happened to notice was doing a reading at a local bookshop, so I stopped in and we compared notes on how our lives were going, so I have a signed copy of one of her books with a personalised inscription) for it to matter to me. If you see what I mean.

[bigblu89]

Yup, I get what you're saying.

[jabumbo]

i have 4 that big blue would probably enjoy: the steel curtain - dwight white, lc greenwood, ernie holmes and joe greene.


i also have a hockey stick signed by mario lemieux, which is kind of funny because the stick is a "gretzky jr" model.



and even though like nobody knows them, after i saw big d and the kids table this summer, i bought their latest album and they all signed the cover and they were talking to everyone around. it was pretty cool (y)

[DandyFop]

Yeah I don't think I would ever just grab a random piece of paper and be like SIGN THIS while drooling to some random famous person. I have been around a lot of movie stars but if anything I might try to get a picture...only if I actually like them though. My friend doesn't care, as long as they are famous (though the one we got with Stephen Baldwin is hilarious and I cherish it).

I forgot, I have Money Mark's too...I wasn't 21 but I went in some bar and was in the process of getting kicked out when he came over and signed a CD insert for me...hah, that was cool.

[abcdefz]

the one we got with Stephen Baldwin is hilarious and I cherish it




He's a total Baldwin.

[Qdrop]

Harrison Ford signed this lifesized cut-out that I have of him dressed like Han Solo. He signed it as Harrison "Han Solo" Ford. How gay is that? I think I'll throw it in the trash.

yeah...total alias.

this is sold old-BBMB lore....

dandy has picks of this shit...

[DandyFop]

Mine's not autographed though...

[abcdefz]

Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenberdorft Sr. signed my johnson.

Weird, but worth it. (y)

[alexandra]

a few, but only three worth hanging on my wall in a frame (http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload2/autographs.jpg).

[b-grrrlie]

All my autographs are personally collected, usually on albums or concert tickets, as an excuse to get to talk to the artist in question, usually to thank about the gig and the music I've enjoyed so much. Usually I start with a handshake if possible, so that they wouldn't think that I'm just a crazy fanatic, just an admirer.

[hpdrifter]

I used to have Steven Spielberg's autograph. It got stolen with my wallet on an LA to Seattle flight.

[jackrock]

a few, but only three worth hanging on my wall in a frame (http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload2/autographs.jpg).
thay's effing great! (y) (y)

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I have the following autographs...

John Heder (of Napoleon Dynamite fame)
Art Alexakis (lead singer of Everclear)
De La Soul (all three members)
Butta Verses (MC touring with De La right now...)

[BGirl]

Yeah I don't think I would ever just grab a random piece of paper and be like SIGN THIS while drooling to some random famous person.

This sounds like it was inspired by my story... well I wasn't drooling over Boomer and it was more like "Hey, would you mind signing this?" after chatting. He was v. friendly. Also he wasn't "some random famous person" he was a major local celebrity (and NFL superstar). ;)

[CrankItUp!]

I wanna meet (comedian) Judy Tenuta and have her sign my nads "Judy wuz HERE !" and get it inked permanently. (y)

[marsdaddy]

Harrison Ford and his first wife were eating at the same table as my family and I at this family-style restaurant in SF when my visiting from out of town aunt asked for his autograph. At least she could have waited until dessert. He declined.

Ford's kid also went to my college. He would come visit his kid on campus and never once signed an autograph. But his kid would sign, like he was someone famous, at keggers.

So I call bullshit on the Ford autograph, unless it's really Ford's kid.
