The Eisemann is a nice venue that brings in some good names
that you want to add to your collection. It’s
also a venue where you can hit a homerun or strike out when it comes to autographs.
Some celebs stay in the hotel across the street and just walk through the
lobby. Some use the stage door on the side. And some use the loading dock in
the back.
I got to the theater about an hour before the show. I was
fairly certain I was too late to catch them as they arrived. I was thinking I might
have to camp out for a while. As I drove
up, I noticed a fellow collector so I had some hopes I wasn’t too late.
As I walked up to say hi to my fellow hound, he turned his back and rushed to
the stage door. I followed. Colin Mochrie had stepped out to take a smoke
break. He kindly signed for both of us
and even posed for a photo. The other
collector politely asked if Brad Sherwood was somewhere back stage and might
have time to sign. Colin said he’d track
him down for us.
The two of us sat and chatted for a few minutes and then
Brad stepped out and signed and posed. As
he looked at my photo he mentioned that was his ‘fat’ photo. He never weighed
more in his life. I took another look at
him and I could see he had lost some weight.
Brad reentered the building and we walked back to our
cars. It was nice for me as I was only
there for 15 minutes and got two nice autographs. My only regret was not seeing the show.
