On November 11, 2001 coworkers and I were assigned to capture an evening discussion at the 92nd St. Y. The focus of the discussion was on biological weapons and warfare. I think they scared the audience.
The panel included:
- William Broad, now former Senior Science writer for the New York Times
- Steve Engelberg, who at the time was Senior Investigative Foreign News editor of the NYT
- Judith Miller, former Senior writer with the NYT
- Jerome Hauer, former Director of New York’s Office of Emergency Management.
- and Robert Krulwich, special correspondent with ABC News at the time, and the moderator
Broad, Engelberg and Miller are authors of the book, Germs: Biological Weapons and America’s Secret War. And because Krulwich left his two pages of notes behind, I grabbed them.

Went over to Mr. Small’s in Millvale today to get the 4 members of the band, The Breeders, to sign a couple things for me.Aside from just a few hours of waiting around it went smooth as butter.The girls, Kelly and Kim Deal....a set of identical twins....and the other members of the band....Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson were fun when they did show up and signed for me. Each one of them said to me that they really liked the blue pen that I had them sign with.

Went Downtown to get Mary Chapin Carpenter to sign these 3 CD booklets and you can see that she did just that. Sometimes these attempts work out real well. This one was exceptional. It went like a knife cutting butter from the time I left the house til the time I got back.

Went downtown Pittsburgh to The Benedum Theater to get Fleet Foxes. I was successful as you can see.

She arrived an hour and a half later than she was scheduled to get there and by that time there was hundreds of people, mainly young and teen-age girls, all wanting to take a picture with her and tell her how much they love her and want her to win it all.I was there to get an autograph from her amid hundreds of crowding girls all chanting Gabby...Gabby...Gabby...over and over. It verged on borderline organized and unorganized mayhem.After about an hour of all this I was able to get within 2-3 people away from her, but then, I couldn’t get any closer. Gabby’s Father was standing right next to the girl and after me calling out her name and waving my print around in the air....he noticed me and took my print from me and handed it to the star and had her sign it for me.“SUCCESS!”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR8LAjTZ0r4 I make a cameo appearance in this video from 0:50 – 0:53 second mark.

Went out this past Sunday morning/early afternoon and the 4 members of the band "Jimmy Eat World" at a local venue near me. I was successful and got all 4 of them in a matter of only a couple hours. A bunch of really nice fellas I must admit. While their music isn't what I listen to...at least it is not full of profanity or singing about murder or suicide. My Goddaughter loves them so that was the reason for going.

Not too long ago I waited for Olivia Newton-John to sign some things for me. It turned out that her manager, handler or whoever was in charge took my items for her to sign and told me to stop back later when she would be available and he would have her sign them for me. Who am I to argue so that's what I did. Gave him my items. Evidently she likes to personalize what she signs cause he asked me who I wanted them made out to. I had 3 items...a Grease LP, a Grease CD and a Grease laserdisc but both myself and her representative didn't have anything to write on other than a scrap of paper that I had in my wallet. I wrote down the names on it and he took it. It turned out though that when I came back and he brought my items out to me they weren't personalized but rather just her signature with her standard greeting on all three of them. I was told that he lost the scrap of paper and just had her sign them. Lucky me right? I was more than happy to not have them personalized anyways.
