Hanson Brothers
I've been a little behind in posting to the blog. Get over it. I have stuff to do.
Friday night we went to the Texas Tornado hockey game to see the Hanson Brothers. No not those gay-looking kids that put out a record. The Hansons from the movie Slap Shot.
I've been a fan of Slap Shot since at least high school. I've been a collector of anything related to the Hansons for several years.
So I found out they were going to be appearing at the Tornadoes game on Friday. Perfect. That's only 13 miles from my house. So we loaded up and headed down to the game.
The Hanson's got on the ice just before the game and had some fun knocking over ref's and scoring a garbage goal. After the first period they set up a table and signed stuff for the fans.
Let me say that I've gotten a good deal of autographs over the years. I've jumped in the car at the drop of a hat upon hearing a player of celeb was somewhere on the radio and I've even flown cross country just to get some stinkin' autographs. I've met some great people. I've gotten autos from people who were glad to be there. I've also got autographs from people who were just pissed you knew who they were.
The Hansons? The all-time penalty minutes leaders of the Federal League? Three of the best signers I've ever met. They signed anything and everything. They shook your hand. They wanted to know about you and how you were doing. They wanted to make sure you got a picture with them. These guys were happy to be there. God bless them. They know the people in line are the reason they where asked to come and make an appearance. Maybe a few other sports figures and celebs should get a clue.
