A few years ago, Stephen Davis did the opening of OUR Circuit City in Fredericksburg. The line was wrapped AROUND the building (outside and in). Stephen was there long enough to take care of the entire crowd. They USUALLY limit you to one autograph per person, but try to take care of the entire crowd.

Cool! Nice SD got to all. You hate to see folks wait for a long period and walk away empty handed.

Well, they pay these guys on an hourly basis. Based on the original posting, they are paying for enough time that should get the crowd... but they will rush you to try to accomodate everyone.

I went to one of these in NOVA for Joe Namath at the cable company... it was poorly advertised and had a short line. We actually went through the line 3 times and could have gone through a couple more if we had more items... now THAT was a cool event.

Ex or anyone who might know, is there a link to this event.....? Can't find anything on this signing. All I could find is two cheerlearders from 5-8, nothing on JC?

This one must be aweful quite, I haven't seen anything in my local paper. But the Southside does have a different paper. I'll try the call, worth a shot.

Phone calls are usually cheap and or free. I heard a rumor and called once... and got Art Monk... with a very small line. That was about 5 years ago.

Since it is such a big corporation, and this event is relatively small potato's in their advertising, this stuff is hard to see on their website (Circuit City).

Your Welcome... your in a military region, so you should appreciate, "I am from batallion, I am here to help".

Re: Jason Campbell signing 6/14 in Hampton Roads
 

Just spoke to the folks at Circuit city, they said JC would be on hand to sign from 6-7:30. Who's going? I'll be there.

It is to far for me to go... but if it is anything like Stephen Davis years ago up here, there will be a LONG line. If he is only signing that long, I would strongly suggest you get there between 4:30-5:00 just to make sure you get a place in line.

I would be surprised if they don't stop the line at some point, and JC is very popular now and will bring out ALOT of people.

Re: Jason Campbell signing 6/14 in Hampton Roads
 

I'll be there also... Pretty Sweet looking forward to it!

Enel... welcome to the board with your first post.

This event was just listed on [url=http://www.Signingshotline.com]Autograph Signings - SigningsHotline.com[/url] It says that a donation is required. That is a little unusual for an event at Circuit City, but just have some cash with you just in case.

Re: Jason Campbell signing 6/14 in Hampton Roads
 

The event was actually really nice. There was no donation required. If you wanted to buy a football they sold them there and he would sign in front of you for $25, that must have been the donation?

Myself & Wife took four footballs and a few posters and JC signed them all and took pictures with us. No charge at all. There was also NO limit on items he would sign....NICE! The did cut the line off with tons of folks still pilling in, not everyone got to meet and get sigs. His alloted time was 6-7:30, we left after talking to a bunch of SKIN fans around 8 and he was trying to finish up.

We had a BLAST! This kid is first class and looking foward to a "GREAT" season, very fun to talk to, and no HURRY UP, RUSH...CRAP!

Well Done by JC & Circuit City! I'll post a few pics tomorrow.

Glad to hear it was a cool event, and I figured 1.5 hours would not take care of the crowd. Very cool on no limit... usually they limit to get more people taken care of.

Yea Rich, It was suprisingly great. Never been to any signing like this one. Very well put on! They had JC set up in the sound room, so you had one on one time. Shocked at how well they set this up.

We got there around 40 minutes later than planned, mayor traffic issue in tunnel. I wasn't so sure we would make it..? We got pretty lucky around 25 or so people behind us the CC folks got in line and stayed in line to tell all this was it. Kinda sucked because some of the folks were already in line and they removed those folks, from that point on it was just all the new folks pilling in, they told them this was it. We felt VERY LUCKY!

GREAT EVENT!

I got there just before 6pm and was out there around 7pm. JC has such a level head. I gave him some tips on improving his accuracy (not throwing his medium passes so high). And he just took it all in. I feel good about this kid. If the defense gets back to old form, we're a lock to for a strong run.

CC did lay off a bunch of people and it showed. There are a lot of young kids working there now. I heard they did offer to hire some back at reduced pay but, they had already threw commission out the window.

I bet he took very good notes on everything you said... that way he can take it back to the team and say... "Look, here is what we have been doing all wrong"...lol
