I had to fly back to Jersey to do some chores for Dad. It was a quick trip. The weather in Dallas and
Jersey didn’t help any and made the trip even shorter. I did a good job on Saturday and Dad gave me some
time off.
Hmmm, what does an autograph hound do when he has some free
time….? He finds a show with autographs.
Yes, this is another example of my addiction and The Wife’s saintly patience. I drove 1
½ hours to North Jersey for Chiller Theater.
I knew about this show in advance and while I hoped to attend I didn’t
think I would get much time there. To
be truthful, I didn’t spend much time there. I think I was there less time than
it took to drive up there.
Knowing that I had a small window of opportunity and Chiller
Theater is a big show, my list of ‘wants’ was small. I got to the show about 4:30 PM. Luckily most of the crowd was gone. As I picked up my wristband and entered the
show, I saw Max Gail on my right. He was the very top person on my list.
Max was finishing up with a guy as I walked up. He leaned
over and quickly put a fork of something into his mouth. I asked if he wanted me to come back after he
ate. He said he had been trying to eat for
an hour. It was not an issue.
I picked a photo and handed it over. He signed.
I told him my favorite Wojo scene was the one where he was
hypnotized. He had a clueless look on
his face. And why wouldn’t he? The show has been off the air for decades. Knowing
that he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about, I gave a brief recap just
so he didn’t think I was crazy. He still didn’t know what I was talking about.
Oh well, I left and gave him a chance to finish his lunch...dinner
he had been working on.
