# 27 -- Attempt to get Michael Phelps autograph


Well, my friends, this was quite an adventure. After my husband sold three Sports Illustrated magazines of Michael Phelps, he did some detective work to find out if he was going to be in our area signing autographs. And sure enough, he was. He was at a grand opening of a GNC store at Ross Park Mall near Pittsburgh on Saturday, September 26, 2009. So, we hopped into the car at 5 am that morning and headed to Pittsburgh. We were told that he would sign one autograph (of your choice); however, when we got there and after standing for over three hours in line, we were then told the autograph would be a picture that he had brought with him and no other pictures or memorabilia would be signed. This was OK with me, but it didn't set too well with some of the other 500 people who had brought their own items to be signed.
