Happy New Year all and welcome back to another season of the blog!  While the year is only a few weeks old we are already several signings deep (check back later today for both photos and video from signings with Yogi Berra, Joe Girardi, Brandon Dubinksy and Dan Marino) and have some unbelievable events and shows planned over the next few months.  This Wednesday at 6:30 we have Knicks star Danillo Gallinari appearing at our Last Licks Manhattan location.  There is a little more than usual to be excited about with this current Knicks team and Gallinari (along with David Lee) has played a huge role in this mini-run they are on.
Then on Saturday (1/23) Jeff Francoeur will be signing at the Steiner Sports Store in Roosevelt Field Mall from 11:30-1:00.   This should be a great one (always is with a Met in Long Island).  Then on Monday (1/25) Alex Ovechkin will be at the Mall in the evening.  Alex is probably the biggest star in the NHL and we are extremely proud to have him at our stores whenever he is in town.  I have done several appearances with Ovechkin and it is always a blast.  Then on Tuesday (1/26)  we have a private signing with current Timberwolves guard and former Syracuse standout Jonny Flynn.  We will be boasting an incredible product line around him so be on the lookout for some awesome new arrivals.  Later that day (we're still on 1/26) Magic Johnson will be appearing at Last Licks Manhattan from 6:00-7:00.  On a personal note (and I think I have written this every time he has signed since the conception of the blog) Magic is my all-time favorite basketball player... as well as a must-have autograph for any basketball collector.
So there you have it.. the next eight days mapped out.  The excitement will undoubtedly carry over to the next few weeks and ensuing months (our big Yankee show, Giants show, Spring Training, etc...)
As said earlier be sure to check back for some stellar video and photos from the past two weeks of signings.
Enjoy!
