So Jericho was signing at a Borders Book Store in downtown Manhattan today. It was only a quick subway ride away, so I decided to go.
He was shcheduled to start at 12:30 PM, so I got there around 11:30. I was in the main room where he was signing by 12.
Jericho was really down-to-earth and funny. It was great to see him interract with the fans. One old lady was sitting on his lap, kissing him, and yelling in Spanish. Another guy brought this sign, and then had another sign asking when he was coming to save us. Jericho: " Later than 4 days, but fewer than 10." Probably a joke, but who knows?
Another girl told him that he was the man of her dreams when she was 8. His response: " Did we do anything?"
When I went up to him, he immediately started talking about the Red Sox( after shaking my hand), and how he was just in Boston( I had a Red Sox sweater on). He signed my book, personalized it with my name, the date, and " Y2J". Everybody got to ask him as many questions as possible, and I asked him if he was bringing Ralphus along to save the WWE. He responded by saying that Ralphus was cool on TV, but was something else backstage. He had no idea where Ralphus was today.
Here's me with Chris. I took a couple of other photos, but my smile is embarassing.
As I was leaving, the guy came up to me and asked if I wanted to be interviewed for ChrisJericho.com! Of course I accepted, and they asked me some questions like Why I came to meet him, how the book is, why people should buy the book, etc. So if you see someone in a Red Sox sweater on his website, that would be me. I hope they put me on, because I kinda messed up as I forgot to re-itterate the question in two of my answers.
I didn't see anyone else interviewed, so I must be special lol.
I'm glad my mom came( I didn't want her to), because she had to sign a release form since I'm only 16.
All in all, a great experience. He was really cool and friendly.
Bonus: me with Cal Ripken from the same store, earlier this year:
