Frank Grillo online, but didn’t see one I wanted to print. I decided to check out his table to see what he had.
Since he had a prepaid option for his signature, I figured I’d
have to go to another table to buy the ticket. One of the handlers said I could
pay cash at the table. Since he had a table photo I liked, I got in line.
As I was waiting, Frank and a fan were talking smack to each
other. Good natured but intense. Very Back East. No smiles until you turn your
head away; playing for the audience.
It was all because she wore a Phila Eagles Sweat shirt. Some
of the exchange:
Frank: Ugh. I should charge you double for burning my eyes with
that shirt.
Fan: You’re lucky I even came to see your loser face.
Frank: Oh, let’s get this over before I go blind.
Fan: At least I don’t like the Giants.
Then all smiles and a handshake. She went on her way without
another word.
I step up as Frank and another handler are smiling. They had
fun.
As he signed my photo, I asked if there was a back story. I was
asking if maybe they knew each other. He said the only back story was he roots for
NY and she’s an Eagles fan.
So, I said, And the only the only team you hate worse are the
Cowboys.
I think everyone in 20 feet of me agreed. Everyone hates the
Cowboys. I paused after I said that. I was in San Antonio. I thought they
really liked the Cowboys. Maybe that’s changed over the years.
Frank agreed with a smile, the Cowboys were the worse.
I did not bring up my football allegiance.
We hook and I left.
My convention was done. I drove about 5 hours. Spent less
than 2 hours at the show and now I’m heading home.
AH
