I attended the Igor Larionov DVD signing at the Best Buy in Novi (the one I actually always go to) on Sunday. Anyways, I got there about 50 minutes early and was between the 5th and 10th person there. I enjoyed the wait very much as I got to talk to 4 wonderful Wings fans about all of their previous Wings encounters the entire time. When 2pm came around, the line started moving.
To get an autograph, you had to purchase a copy of his DVD for $25. With that $25, you got the DVD, autograph on DVD, autograph(s) on any other Wings items you brought (stupid me brought nothing else), and a photo taken of you and Larionov. A Best Buy employee took the photo with his own digital camera and they printed it out for you right there. For once, I actually like how I look in the photo - amazing!
Anyways, I don’t have a scanner at home so once I get one from my parents’ office, I will scan in the autographed DVD cover and photo. I’m also going to Westland Mall on Tuesday to pick up my 5 Swedish Olympian Wings photo and autograph. All of those items will be scanned in for your viewing pleasure, but probably not until this weekend since I have 3 exams and a paper starting today through Thursday.
Until then, these photos below will have to do. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize they were this fuzzy (they looked perfectly fine on that little digital screen - otherwise I would’ve taken more).

I attended Iggy’s signing in Vancouver (BC, Canada) on 19th March, and it was the same thing except no free photo.
Detroit played the Canucks same day. Iggy had flown in that day from signing done in San Jose the previous night.
In Vancouver Iggy signed at the gift store at 1:30pm until all fans were looked after, and then again during the first intermission of the Detroit/Canucks game.
I heard the in San Jose it was not as organized, as Iggy kind of roamed the concourse doing the autographing.
As usual, Glen, his video producer, accompanied him in Detroit, San Jose and in Vancouver.
Thanks for the info! So is Glen the guy in the orange shirt that you can kinda see in the 2nd photo?
