I was going to the bank today and heard Johnny B on the loop talking to Jim Belushi, then he said how he was sighning books at downtown and then in wheeling at a sams club, I went downtown but it would have been crazy to try and get Jim to take a pic w/ me there so I went to the wheeling signing.

I get up there and Said "Howdy Jim" I shouldnt have because i said it like we met before and I think he was trying to remember! Ha!
So I asked if he'd take a pic by the car and he's was very nice to say "if ya hang around long enough will do it when I'm done"
He was realy cool and patient w/ everyone that I saw.

I was waitin there after words in the store and when I looked up Jim and his group were pointing at me and motioning for me to come over, Ha! I had to look around to make sure they were pointing at me! So he was nice enough to go outside and I got the car, I knew it though we created a whole scene out there and once again probably hard for him to get on his way, but I thanked him a bunch and that was it! Thanks JIM!!!

Well, Im sure his signing tour went over most of the country, unless of course your kinda in the sticks!
But for me it was total luck, I dont follow everything Jim does, Didnt know about a book, just heard on a friday morning radio show on a day I was lucky enough to have been off work. When I heard it, I said" Man, What a cool adventure for the day", I had no real serious plans, so off I went.

As far as Jim Though I know it's not shovelin gravel all day in the sun but, I gotta tell you I couldnt do it, and he showed alot of patience. I like meeting people sometimes but they walk up w/ 7 books all w/ individual notes on who too and what to say, get pic's w/ him and then when their done they still hang around like Jim's gonna start doing tricks or givin' out money at the end!

On the note I just put "to John", and he also wrote "Be Brave" I'm thinkin' what I dont look Brave! Ha! BUt if ya do get a chance I'd say do it, It was cool to see him in person.
