Could be worse, dude. William Shatner charges $150 to start for his autographs at trekkie conventions.

That is complete insanity from where no man has ever gone before. Gee...Shatner must really 'love' his fans.

True, it was cool that Yma showed up at all. I guess I was basing my autograph purchasing on other experiences. The week before Hukilau (believe it or not) I went to a book signing by our ole pal Jack Klugman ('Oscar' from the 'Odd Couple') for his new book "Tony & Me" about his friendship with him and Mr. Randall. The book was $24.95, and he signed additional memorabila for free. Along with the book I brought a cool color 8x10 of him as Oscar with a Mets hat on and cigar in mouth. Pretty damn cool. I also got Bill Clinton's autograph for free at one of his book signings so the fee for signed memorabilia is new to me. And even if it is kinda steep, can't say that is suprises me. It does boost the value of your item and all that. I guess all these celebrities work differently.

Hukilau was still a blast and I'm glad I got Yma to sign my albums.
