Well.........
Aug. 25th, 2007 07:02 pmIt seems as if my opportunity to meet Greg has come up once again. My Dad and brother said they would accompany me so I can meet him in person (I'm a bad driver or I would just go myself). It's a big event with over sixty celebrities. Hopefully, I'll have enough courage to meet him and tell him how big a fan I am :) I just want him to give me that trademark Logan grin...that's all!
Here's the news article about the golf event:
