First the setup :cool:

My wife knows I've wanted to go to the All-Star Weekend for years. Well since I graduate in May with my doctorate in psychology she bought me an All-Star package. :beer: Well in order to get the package we had to buy tix for 4 other games. So we picked the Pens (twice), the Avs and the Lightning (b-day weekend):whatthehell:

So we head down Friday after my Major let me leave the hospital early in order to scout the layout.

Saturday we started off with a big shiny thing:

me and the wife with The Cup

Next a little game of shinny, the 2 girls working this booth had no one within 20 feet of this thing so my wife snapped a pic (I was then informed I couldn't play b/c I was too old to win a pack of Victory:badmood: )

then we saw these 2 kids signing at the UD booth

Jack Johnson

both were really nice, but appeared overwhelmed with all the corporate butt-kissers who accompanied them

here's the Swag:

then off to the Skills Game, some lame events but really cool live, especially the Young Stars Event

Sunday we came back and picked up a couple more autos:

Todd McFarlane (really nice guy, talked and posed for pics, limit 2; which was good considering some people brought 20-30 items for sigs:banned: ) He was late for his signing but we were told it was b/c he was doing the facial laser scanning of all but 2 of the All-Stars for future figures!!

first the puck, then the limited edition Hossa flyer and then a pic w/Todd

and of course the obligatory UD All-Star Game Limited Edition 6 card set, supposedly it was only 1 set per person per day and less than 3000 made

Next time more pics! Looks like you had an awesome time and it was must have been awesome to meet up with this seasons' hottest rookies.
 
Nice pics! Too bad I didn't know you were down would have been nice to meet you. I'll post some tells and stories later this week from the event.
