Neil Armstrong - used to play celebrity golf tournaments.

Ihhave never asked nor otherwise seeked out an autograph in my life, yet somehow I ended up with…

Judith Hoag who played April O’Neal in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I was friends with her nephew for a while and when he asked if I wanted her autograph I said “sure”.

and

Joseph Barbara of Hanna-Barbera. My work put me in close proximity to him for a while, just a couple of years before he passed, and I think that he just signed pictures to give him something to do when he came in the office.

I think that’s it. Nothing all that exciting, even if I was the type to get excited about autographs.

Joe DiMaggio

Douglas Adams. Came across a signing and by random had borrowed the hardcover of So Long and Thanks For All the Fish (with the hologram on the front) and took it as a sign. Paid off the library…

I have a bass guitar autographed by Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, and Zakk Wylde. It was my first “real” instrument that I got for my 17th birthday, the bass that I learned on, and has been by my side my whole life. She’s retired and hangs on the wall in my studio.

Afroman. We were watching the trial on the news and I asked myself “Does this dude still tour?”. Coincidentally, when I looked it up, he was going to be in the same tiny Midwest town we were visiting in only a few days, so I bought tickets. The guy is a born entertainer!

I have an autographed original drawing. Unfortunately, it’s a drawing of the Sandman, by Neil Gaiman. Yeah… I don’t have that on display in my house anymore.

Alan Rickman, the entire Voyager cast and half the LOTR cast.

Christopher Judge 😍

Brendan Frasier, although I haven’t actually met him in person. His mom worked at the same place as my mom, and they arranged to get me a signed Encino Man poster.

Nana Visitor, Terry Farrell and Nicole de Boer.

I’d love to get one from Avery Brooks, but I don’t think he does that anymore.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he was running for govenor, he had a rally nearby a doctors office I just happened to have an appointment at near the same time and I was able to get in line to shake hands and get the autograph. I’m not sure if I still have the autograph book he signed tho. My mom had it stored with a bunch of my old kid stuff growing up and I don’t think it was brought with us when we moved and I can’t ask her now since she’s no longer with us. Gotta go through all the stuff still packed up in the closets.

I also got Mitch Hedberg’s autograph. It’s just not the Mitch Hedberg you might have imagined upon reading that. But he is/was also a comedian. Saw him and a couple other small time comedians at a local club. His name was a large part of his set.

I have worked in and around the entertainment industry in various roles for many years. I have quite a few. Most recently would be the members of GWAR, Ensiferum, and Korpiklaani.

I got the autographs of the original Black Sabbath lineup at a promo for their reunion tour in 99 or 2000. Ozzy smudged his marker so I got his fingerprint as a bonus.

Got my dad a Ted Nugent autograph since I knew he was a fan. He was at the local sportsman’s gear show, so I was cool with going to that anyway. I think that’s the first time I saw a live bald eagle up close, so that was really cool. Ted played some guitar, which was good, and then gave a really strange talk. I only later learned everything else about Ted other than he liked to hunt, so that is a very mixed experience in hindsight.

Got Jerry Lawler’s at a ComicCon where he was promoting his comic. Got Adam West’s there too.

The ex got the Ghost Hunters’ at a different ComicCon. She was very excited, but I had no idea who they were at the time.

When I was a kid I wrote to a few baseball rookies and got their autographs. I still have them somewhere, but nobody who ever became anybody. There was a player with the same name as me that I wrote a few times, but he never wrote back. Jerk.

Those are all the ones I can think of.

Josh Kennedy yesterday.
