Thanks Pitt. You beat me too though, my other three balls were 9's across the board

one way to fix this whole mess. ive seen this done with tri star shows and chantilly virginia shows. more workers checking numbers, and when you get your autograph, you exit the table from the back, and you are out of the area. you then re enter with the proper number for a different guy. then the numbers get called correctly, groups of 25. you would not have 1-25 being called, then a half an hour later hearing all numbers, last call. the way that they do it now, if you get in there, you are able to go from line to line, even with high number tickets, and the guy outside the area has #75 and he has to wait an hour.

They won't ever change things because regardless of how you think the system works, (good or bad) they think it works just fine. They won't make more room because they don't have to. It's been this way for years and in their mind it works, so why change it? The only thing that needs to be changed is the entrance. And that can happen by the people buying the tickets not hanging around it. Especially when they are calling numbers 1-25 and your numbers is 250. Get out of the way and go walk around or something. But don't stand there and wait. Maybe like pittgrad said move the cars out of the way on the left and maybe create a waiting area over there with tables and chairs. But my guess is they would have to pay the convention hall more money for that space.
And one other thing, I sure wish when I was younger I would have applied to become a Rosemont cop, because those guys are the best, lol. Eatting free pizza, hot dogs, BBQ sandwiches, plus getting free autographs. What a gig, where do i sign up?

I think you may have been right infront of me in the Marino line. Did you get a picture with Dan, you and your wife?

Those people got a ball and jersey done too.
