In the late 60's/early 70's, I visited some school friends who were living in Los Angeles. They took me to the airport for my flight home. United Air Lines told me that they had to book me on a different flight, but departure was only 1/2 hour, or so, later. Fine.
They directed me to a waiting room, and my friends were allowed to wait with me ... pre "9/11" rules. I noticed that there were several men who were wearing the same blazer. Some club, I guessed. One of my friends looked more closely, and told me that I was flying home on the SF Giants' team plane. They'd been in LA, playing the Dodgers. I was the only "civilian," among players, coaches, radio announcers, etc..
My brother has always been a huge baseball (and Giants) fan. I got pitcher Juan Marichal's autograph on a napkin that was lying on one of the tables in the private room. My brother still has it framed.

One person. I have books and magazines autographed by actress and musician Linnea Quigley. The one that means the most to me is probably the most recent, a signed copy of the magazine 'Fantasm Presents Linnea Quigley' which has a limited edition cover, an issue that's devoted entirely to her. I also treasure my signed copy of her and Dan Golden's horror photography book, 'Skin'.
I had rock musicians autograph tickets, flyers and concert programs when I was younger, I think out of habit. If you got backstage, or were on a festival site, sometimes you'd meet a musician and say hello while holding something in your hand, and they'd take it from you and sign it out of habit, or they'd have a stack of promotional materials they were signing and they'd just give you something, which was nice. I actually never went looking for an autograph, and didn't keep hold of any, I was just happy to meet musicians whose work I admired in order to thank them.

I used to have Steven Spielberg's autograph on the poster for Duel but sold it at a relatively low price. I wonder how much money I threw away .

Nicol Williamson. He'd had a few. Expected him to punch me or something, but he was quite polite.
Alan Bennett.
I once won a DVD of Dancer in the Dark with Björk's autograph on it, then I sold it.

I’ve actually signed a few autographs. Mind you, that was back in the days when I produced small press comics so wore a comics creator badge at conventions. Most times I doubt the person asking for the autograph really knew who I was.

Going to have my antibodies measured next week. my daughter had her blood test Thursday. Many of the people in front of us were getting antibody tests. Is that common after having covid? or is that to make sure the vaccines have worked? I wondered about that, but kind of forgot until you mentioned. Yeaaaa! glad you are all well. PS my husband would probably be shocked if he heard people think I'm sweet. Living with someone is difficult!! (understatement!!)
