The ALS party is cool but I usually end up getting a line ticket for someone I can get some other way. Then to trade the ticket off and get another one its usually not a big name. Otherwise its a great way to raise alot of money but I just wish it was in January. I would love to go somewhere like the Convention Center or somewhere like that RIGHT NOW and be able to get the guys. I don't mind standing in lines for them. At this time of year I have to settle for the Orioles if I want to get in person stuff. Or a few of the same guys at the Caravan stops. I wouldn't even mind Twins fest or any of the other ones...just to be able to get any graphs at this time of the year..hahaha.
