I wrote to Brian Prothero and Paul Williams (my two 1970s music heroes!) and got signed headshots from both. Who do you have? ---

No pictures, but my Foo Fighters There is Nothing Left to Lose cd is autographed by the band. Nothing special, I went to the album signing thing with about 1000 other people. ---

I have a picture of Brian Downey (from the show Lexx) that he signed for me. He’s a real sweetie. I also have a picture of Lou Ferrigno that he signed at Dragoncon. He said I was a pretty girl _blush_. ---

I had one of James Doohan, met him in person at a bookstore appearance back in '86 or so. Got one for myself and my sister. Lost mine, my sister still has hers. Dammit. ---

Brian Regan, a comendian we introduced to a whole buttload of people. **Zette** sent us a signed pic from him as part of our wedding gift. (in other things, I have the _Slang_ CD signed by all the current members of Def Leppard; and Seven Mary Three’s debut albm signed by the pretty much unknown at the time band.) ---

Victor Borge. When he was coming to the city where I used to live, back in the late '80s, I called his management to see if it was possible to have him autograph my 78 RPM set of his first album (1942). So my mom and I got to go backstage and meet him after the show. He posed for pictures with both of us, and signed his album, and gave us a signed publicity photo. He was a very funny, very nice man. ---

I’ve taken A TON of pictures of celebrities, some of them just alone in the pic and others with me in with them. But I’ve never been one to get autographs. I think I got a few from famous baseball players when I was a teenager (and wanted to be a sports photographer–a girl can dream! lol!), but I’ve gotten away from that and just prefer to get a pic of them or with them. 🙂 Does anyone who collects autographs find that they have any value at any point in time, other than sentimental (or whatever you’d characterize it as) to you? Just wondering. ---

George Carlin played my college in the mid-80s. I had a copy of his firts album “Take-offs and Put-Ons”, and friends on the activities board. He signed it for me. Unfortunately, he sucked that night, and I always wonder if my forcing him to confront his comedy past didn’t throw him off. ---
