I hope you all enjoyed the Roy White video from yesterday. It's always cool to get the players perspective on our items and to be able to get a story or two out of them. I hope to do a lot more of that as we move forward in this forum. Anyway it has been quite busy these past few days.
Wednesday we were visited by none other than Rudy Ruettiger. This was actually my first time meeting Rudy (I must have been travelling last time he was at our office) and was really impressed with him. Before autographing some stellar individual pieces (including Notre Dame mini-helmets, full size helmets, footballs, Play Like A Champion posters and 8x10s/16x20s) as well as adding his name to some choice ND projects (which as you know we have been working on for awhile) Rudy gave an hour motivational speech to our company. Ruettiger spends most of his time travelling and speaking to large groups. He does a fantastic job of it and definitely moved us all. I will be posting some Rudy video shortly (courtesy of my boy Alex) so be sure to check it out.
Then yesterday I was completely immersed in Rangers hockey. Midday I headed towards midtown for a private signing with the legendary Adam Graves. While I am far from an avid hockey fan I have always enjoyed NHL signings. The players are, by far, the most down to earth of any and those situations always make for great conversations. Yesterday was no different as we banged through the signing in no time. Not only did Adam sign some great individual pieces (pucks and 8x10 photos) but we also started an amazing new Rangers project. There is sure to be more on this fantastic piece soon.
Then last night, after leaving Graves, I made my way uptown for our appearance at Last Licks with Henrik Lundqvist. Despite no cooperation from the weather it was still yet another awesome signing with the King. There was a large crowd on hand... all of whom braved crazy winds and rain for a little bit of face time with the Rangers' star goalie. Henrik did not disappoint as each and every person got a handshake, an autograph and a photo with.

Tomorrow is our appearance at the Steiner Sports Store (Roosevelt Field Mall 1:00-12:30) with Pete Rose. We have not had Pete sign in well over two years so it is sure to be quite an event. On a personal note: Rose is one of my all time favorite people to work with so I am really excited for this one. Hope to see you there!
