Bruce Campbell is my hero.
Back in college he was doing a book signing tour, circa 2001. I didn't have cash for the book that week, but I showed up anyway hoping he'd sign my Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies and games (I think I brought 3-4 things to sign without buying the book...I was an ass). The bookstore was packed, and only people that had bought the book were allowed to sit in line, everyone else had to wait till the end. I estimated the book line was at least an hour long, with the signing set to go for another couple hours, so I left to grab some dinner. Come back less than an hour later, tons of people still inside, but they had the book store security gate half down with someone guarding the entrance preventing people from coming back in. A lot of other people had left earlier as well, and they were fighting with the guard to get back in. After some verbal confrontations the guard said "Let me talk to the boss" and he left his post....yet left the gate half open. Everyone was just standing there like idiots, so I slipped back in and hid out among the crowd.
Long story short I ended up getting my stuff signed, and like a nerd I was all star struck when I met Bruce. I nearly forgot my camera, as some of his assistants took my picture with him while he was signing my stuff.
