JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Pretty well attended. I got in line at 5:40 and finally got signed at 6:15. There were still 20 or so people behind me. They passed around post-it notes so you could write down who you wanted the autograph made out to. I considered putting "EBay Bidder" as a joke but decided not to. I told him the story about how my brother and I got back to our hotel in Minneapolis after dinner the night before SB XXVI and he was the first person I saw in the lobby. He said "Oh yeah, the super secret hotel". He didn't write anything of note in my book, just "To Jay, Marv Levy" Still, it was very cool to meet the legend. That voice is unmistakeable.

Ned Flanders Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Did you ask him if there was any place he'd rather be?

billsfanone Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Marv had us write names on post-its when he did the signing in NYC. Sped things along. The publisher had asked if we could monitor the line and make sure to speed people along. Why? Not because he's unfriendly, but TOO friendly. He probably would carry on a 15 minute conversation with every single person if he could. He's a real class act. His wife is lovely too. I'm glad I got to meet the legend.
