I drove down to San Antonio for Superhero Car Show. It’s run by the people that did/do Celebrity Fan Fest. Not sure if the name change was for this one show or permanent, but everyone I talked to still called it celebrity Fan Fest. While this show had some key guests cancelled, they still had some excitement.
The first autograph I picked up was from Burton Gilliam. He is
a local legend and icon. He does appear at a lot of shows and most collectors
already have him. I did get his autograph once many years ago on a small
promotional card. I figured this was the time to get something nicer.
After he signed for me, he asked if I was from Allen, TX. I smiled
when I said no. I knew where this was headed.
I pointed to the logo on my shirt and said that for the U of Arizona. He told me Allen uses the same logo. (I told you he was a local legend; he knows
the Allen Eagles.)
We chatted about how much that town and county had grown over
the last 20 years. Then guy behind me with a heavy New York accent, mentioned
he had an aunt in McKinney and couldn’t believe the changes.
With that I said good bye and made my way to the next quest.
