Welcome to another bonus in person graphing post. Tonight Winter and myself headed out to the West Virginia State Fair to see the band Uncle Si & The Sicotics with Duck Dynasty's Si Robertson as the front man. The band also includes Bridgette Tatum and Marsha Robertson and to my surprise they put on a pretty good show. They played some original songs and a few covers like ZZ Top 's " Sharp Dressed Man" and Prince's "Purple Rain". I was right up front enjoying the show during most of the concert but since I had already found out from the merch people and security that they would be signing autographs after the show we headed over to the area they would be signing at extra early so we could be in the front of the signing line and beat the crowd rushing the merch trailer when the show ended. When we lined up we only had a young mom with her two young children and a guy with a stack of photos to get signed in front of us. It didn't take long before more started filing in behind us before the show ended. The crowd and signing line was larger than I expected so I was glad we got our spot early. When the concert ended and they announced that the band would be signing autographs the madness started. First it was a bunch of people who decided to ignore the long line of people who've been waiting for awhile and this only got worse when Si and the others came over to sign. When the line cutters started trying for autographs several of the people who waited patiently in the actual line start flipping out on the cutters and caused a huge scene that brought security into to mix. After security showed up and started making people actually move to the end of the long line the cutters started crying and whining causing even more of a scene. This caused the band to stop signing and said that if people wouldn't quit cutting and arguing they would stop signing and leave. Luckily that didn't happen and security finally made everyone not in the line get to the back. After that things went pretty smoothly. Winter had Si sign her tea glass and then had the three of them sign a group photo of the band. I added Si to my Duck Dynasty Christmas CD booklet that we had previously got Willie, Jase, Missy and Martin to sign at the PGA pro am two years ago. All in all it was a pretty good graphing night with a good concert just a little graphing drama and we walked away with the autograph we came for. We headed back out for some more fair fun but we passed by the signing area just over an hour after they started signing and they just finished signing for the last few fans that waited. So it worked out and everyone walked away happy. So until next time enjoy a few pictures and our autographs from tonight's concert.
