So today I went to meet Dan at the Binny's event in Chicago. After hearing on the radio he loves seeing people in their costumes, I went in full uniform and proton pack. I got there two hours early. Wating and watching the line extend far beyon the point of actually getting an autograph, I became anxious. There were signs saying no signing of memorabilia or posed pictures. Once I got up to the table, I say Dan. He had been there for about an hour, just sitting, getting handed the bottles and signing them. Then he would say hi to the person and they left. I walked up, seeing him in his shades and a hat and he saw me in my outfit. Noticing I was the only Ghostbuster in the place he turns and says “ I gotta get up for this”. I nearly shit myself. I walked away from his handlers, removed his hat and sunglasses and held his hand out. I shook it and nearly passed out. He commented on my pack, signed the bottles my mom bought, then as if out of reflex says“ If you turn around I'll sign your equipment.” He signed right on my cyclotron “Ray”. He then asked me if I was aware of the game, which I am, to which he said “do you have a card or something with you e-mail?”. My mom, who was also shaking handed him her business card with my e-mail on it. He then said “Great job man” I have heard for years what a nice guy he is, but I would never in a million years have though he'd do something like this. I have never been happier.

Wowoww, that's so awesome! So he won't be able to sign my Ghostbusters poster? I had to work today, so I'm planning on going tomorrow. It's good to know what to expect. No pictures or signed memorabilia?…boooo

I was there from 3 to 5:30 and even though they kept saying no memrobillia Dan voulentered to sign my GB 2 poster, it was the greatest moment of life, shame I didnt see you in your costume. It was so amazing to meet Dan though, 1 autograph down, 3 to go.

That's cool, hope I can get by too. Also Dr.D, I wonder what Dan would email you about.

I've been thinking about that all day.

That's awesome, I hope I get the chance to meet him one of these days. Thanks for sharing the story, it's always nice to hear stuff like this.

Color me incredibly jealous. Awesome man.

Hey Dr. D. Would it be at all possible to see a picture his signature on the cyclotron?

If you can show us that would be awesome. Not saying I don't believe you, but just would like to see.

I'm not sure how to post pictures, but if someone would post it for me I'll email it.

That is awesome!

I met Dan when he came to New Hampshire. He signed my GBII poster, but the line was probably substantially shorter than it was in Chicago. But that pales in comparison to getting to shake his hand and comment on your props.
