Autograph Books

[Sleepless Knight]

I've gotten a character autograph once. It was Sleeping Beauty and I had her sign the cardstock ads for her film when it played at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood in August 2008. In my case, Mary Costa (the voice of Sleeping Beauty) had signed the very same item the night before. I kind of like the idea of having them sign something unique for that reason. It was interesting to see Sleeping Beauty's reaction when she saw just who had signed in her "usual" signing place.

As a side note, I absolutely loved watching Darth Vader sign either Princess or Tink autograph books at Star Wars Weekends at WDW. It was classic to see how disturbed the Dark Lord of the Sith was at signing something like that. He always had this look of "this is so beneath me."

Okay, carry on your discussion of autograph books. I just wanted to share my Vader story.

I have done this one 3 trips now and we love it. We are working on getting as many autographs as we can and no doubles.
I made my pillowcases and "Tink" gave them to the girls on morning when we first got there (about 3 trips back). Everyone loves them and they are easy to carry (I think). I get one gallon zipplock per pillowcase and use a thick cardboard square (the cardboard from freezers etc) you can go to any Home Depot or Lowes and ask for this thisck cardboard and they will give it to you if they have not put it throught the swisher. I used to work for Home Depot so I do know at least mine would do that.
You can by thick cardboard, but why when you just have to ask for it.
I then stick the cardboard inside the case and pick a spot, then scrunch the rest of the case as if you are holding flowers. It makes for a great platform to write on and the sharpies only get on the cardboard.
Then it's back into the ziplock and in the backpack or stroller. The ziplock keeps it dry as well.

I LOVE what Ariel wrote.
