Got back late tonight........i made it!!!!
I'll tell you..........if i don't get inducted into the packers fan hall of fame for this, it would be a travesty!!!LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
I'm sore as heck, but loved being there! I met up with VegOmatic Friday evening, and he took me to Kroll's for supper. Plus he gave me some autograph tickets he wasn't going to use.
I got autographs from James Jones, Mark Murphy, Kevin Greene, Daryn Colledge, John Kuhn, Atari Bigby, Dorsey Levens, Frank Winters, Brandon Jackson, Jan Stenrud, Donny Anderson, Allen Barbre, Jerry Kramer, and Greg Jennings.
Veg even got a REAL nice photo of me with Greg Jennings, which i hope he will post here at some time.
I will also post pix when i get my film developed. I wanted to travel light because of my weight restrictions, so i didn't take my nice 35mm camera with me, just a point and shoot throw away camera.
All in all it was a good time! Lines moved alot faster then in the past, so it made it easier for me.
When i went up to Jerry Kramer with a photo i took of him 3 years ago to get it signed, i gave him a quick run down of what happened to me 26 days ago. He stopped, looked up at me and said "And you are HERE now, after going through that?" I told him "This is my 5th Fan Fest, and didn't want to miss it!" He put his hand on my shoulder and said "Then you take it easy this weekend, and don't push yourself!" That made my weekend, cause i could TELL he really meant it. There was quite a line for his signature, and he took those few extra seconds for me. It was a neat expierience i won't soon forget!
Then, Mark Murphy was signing autographs, so before i got in line for his sig, I went up next to him to take a picture. He stopped what he was signing, looked at me, smiled and yelled out "CHEESEY!!!!"
My jaw must have hit the floor!
Then i realized i was wearing my Packer shirt with my nickname on it! LOLOLOL!!! He said to me "Cheesey! Thats a GREAT nickname!" I told him, "Believe me......it fits!!!"
I woke up at 5am this morning, in LOTS of pain, so i took a pill and figured I'd come on here and give you all an update while i wait for it to take effect.
Now i'm gonna go lay back down.
