My friend Alex hosted a free private signing with current NBA point guard Darren Collison. The event took place at his Optometry practice in Rowland Heights. Only patients and friends were among the invited guests. There was no way I could turn down this easy meet and greet.
The private signing was scheduled from 1:00-1:30 in the afternoon for about 20 patients and friends. When I arrived at the office most of the invited guests had already left. I made my way to the back of the office to find only 1 person in line.
Darren was very friendly and signed everything for me. He also signed his full name which is something that he rarely does.
Here I am with Darren.
