Mr. Ford.. Can You Sign?

Harrison Ford was out this week to promote his latest movie "Ender's Game."  I don't have any luck in obtaining Harrison's autograph but my spouse has gotten his autograph before.

As far as I know, Mr. Ford did not pick up a pen at the Ender's Game premiere.  Everyone was running from here to there, in and out of the hotel, running from the front entrance to the back looking for him.  Even a few people met him face to face a couple of times during the night and we heard they got turned down.  He even told them "you are on private property.. you shouldn't be in here.."

Luckily, we didn't invest too much time at the premiere as we arrived an hour before it even started not expecting much from Harrison Ford.

Instead, we made a good decision in going for him at an earlier appearance he made in the week and we were able to get two signed photos from Mr. Ford himself.  There were only a dozen of us and he came out of the car and told us that he wasn't going to take pictures, to stay where you are, and will do one each. 

One autograph seeker was able to get a second signed photo as she told him "my father is in the car, and you make it out to '---?' " Harrison gave her a few seconds of "the look" but did it anyways.  Sometimes, you gotta work the system, right? 

Again, it was a last minute decision to go because he's a hit or miss (most of the time a miss for me!) and we went with the photos that we had in our inventory and got a few done.

Thank goodness!
