Former President Jimmy Carter Visits Charlotte

Jimmy Carter came to Charlotte to sign copies of his new book at a local Walmart. The signing was suppose to start at 6 but Jimmy was there at around 5:30 to start signing. I showed up around 6:15 and the signing was almost over. Jimmy is a true signing machine and the line was moving at a fast pace. I picked up my books and had Jimmy sign five books for me and then signed my baseball and my photo. Once he was done signing books he came over to everyone and shook hands one last time. Overall the night went really well and my friends and I were able to get everything we had signed.

TNA Live in Charlotte

Happy New Years everyone! TNA held a PPV here in Charlotte and I was able to find out the hotel where everyone was staying. I arrived at the hotel around 9 P.M just in case a few names showed up after their matches. It wasn't until 11:30 until the first wrestler showed up and that was Sting. He was very nice and meeting him alone made the time waiting worth while. Shortly after that Kurt Angle Showed up and signed a few autographs for some kids and then came and signed my photo and took a photo with me. Everyone else on the roster came in one after another and hung out in the lobby all night. It was loads of fun seeing these guys outside of the show and I got photos with just about everyone. The only person who was not cool was Jeff Jarrett and he blew everyone off all night. Overall it was a great night.
