I just got home from our last Islanders appearance of this run that we have been having. Earlier today Bobby Nystrom, Al Arbour and Ken Morrow signed at Last Licks Massapequa. Not surprisingly it was one of the bigger Islander crowds we have had during this two weekend period. The main reason for the larger than usual crowd seemed to be Al Arbour. He does not sign very often and is a must-have on any team signed piece. Again I saw many of the same faces that have been there for the other two appearances. I also saw quite a few 1980 USA hockey pieces brought in for Ken to sign. It is incredible how the legacy of that team grows every year. Recently we have been doing a very cool inscription photo from that incredible victory with Jim Craig. Ken, Bobby and Al were unbelievable with their fans. Everytime I looked up one of them was motioning for kids to come around the table to take a photo or getting up to greet someone. After and before the public portion of the day all three guys signed amazing product for us including new photos of Bobby and Ken and special inscription Arbour 8x10s. I was also able to get closer to completion on our Islander projects. I cannot wait for you all to see these when they are done. They are, by far, some of the best team pieces we have done in a long time.
Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, I am off to Tampa for a private signing with Johnny Damon followed immediately by a two day trip to Indianapolis to work with Peyton Manning. Check back for updates.
