Stupid Newspapers

I rely on the local papers to give me the scoop on when an author or athlete is doing an autograph signing. And, the Union-Tribune in San Diego, is hit-and-miss.



Yesterday, I was reading the paper that evening, and it said that at Camp Pendleton (the military base 10 miles north of San Diego), that racing legend Mario Andretti would be doing an autograph signing at the opening of a new Firestone auto-care. That started at noon.



He also threw out the first pitch for a… Continue

Danica Patrick...WELCOME TO NASCAR!!! Get your Sharpie ready!!

The news reports are starting to steam up the wires as the story surrounding Indy racing's "It Girl" Danica Patrick and her possible NASCAR future becomes more public. It appears that Danica is going to follow in the footsteps of another Indy racing great and now NASCAR legend ( and current 2009 Sprint Cup Points leader ) Tony Stewart. Tony paved his path to NASCAR fame by taking a very slow and methodical approach to entering the sport that has humbled so many of Indy racing's "Top Stars".… Continue

Ingmar Bergman Auction

There's an auction happening in Stockholm...but in this day and age of computers, you can view the interest pieces of Ingmar Bergman online, and not by flying over there!



Those items include film cameras, a desk, and Golden Globe awards that belonged to the Swedish film legend.



Bukowskis is the auction house, and they have over 330 Bergman items for sale, include some chess pieces that it's speculated were used in the director's 1957 film "The Seventh Seal" and a 60s… Continue

Patrick Stewart talks about X-Men and Captain Picard recently at Dragon-Con

I found this sci-fi tidbit on the web .



Thousands lined up to hear Patrick Stewart speak in the massive Marriott Marquis hotel ballroom at Dragon*Con over the weekend, and according to CNN.com, this Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men star didn't disappoint, revealing his thoughts about possible roles in both franchises.



The bottom line is that a return as Professor Xavier is still possible, but a future for Jean-Luc Picard ... not so much.



Stewart… Continue

15 Minutes of Fame, 15 Weeks of Boxes -- Andy Warhol News.

Andy Warhol had a bunch of cardboard boxes that stored things he collected. I heard there were over 600.



They were opened the other day, and guess what they found? No, no...not a bunch of spoiled Campbell's soups. But, a lot of interesting little items.



One box had $17,000 cash. Another had a naked photo of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that was autographed. Sure, there was some junk. One box had a piece of crusty wedding cake, another had taxi receipts and fan… Continue

Fake Moon Rock

So, you just spent a few hundred dollars on an autograph, and wonder if it's real. Sure, there's a letter of authenticity, but so what. You spend your night Googling for other examples of the signature, and they don't seem to match up the way you'd prefer.



Well, this sort of thing happens in all collecting fields.



A perfect example is what went down in Amsterdam recently.



The Dutch national museum had a rock that was supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S.… Continue
