Michael Cage made an appearance at The Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu in Rowland Heights. The event was reasonably priced at $10 per autograph for any item with all proceeds benefiting the Michael Cage Foundation. The event was easy going with Michael greeting all fans and taking posed photos.

Michael didn’t show up alone to this event. He brought his son Michael Jr. who is a top basketball prospect out of Mater Dei High School. Michael Jr. didn’t sign any autographs, but did pose for photos with anyone that asked.

Cedric Ceballos made an appearance at the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. The event was originally scheduled to take place on November 16, but it conflicted with another appearance by Cedric so the event was moved up one week on short notice.

Before the event started, autograph tickets were passed out to fans in line and they were notified that Cedric would only sign one item per person. When Cedric arrived a short time later he mentioned he would sign every item that fans brought. He was very kind and a true class act.

The next public event at this optometry practice will be on November 16, 2013. The special guest will be former Los Angeles Laker Cedric Ceballos. This event will be strictly one autograph per person. Don’t be surprised or disappointed if you bring five items and only get one signed.

On September 25, 2013, I was invited to have lunch with my friend Dr. Liu. The plan was to meet up at his optometry practice in Rowland Heights and decide where we wanted to go eat. When I arrived Dr. Liu informed me that lunch would have to wait because he was expecting a special guest. He explained that former Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamond Murray, was on his way to the office for an eye exam.

Lamond arrived a short while later and went to the back of the office for his exam. After the eye exam he signed autographs for Dr. Liu and they talked some business. Some of the business they discussed had to do with Lamond making a public appearance at the optometry practice in the near future. If and when a date is confirmed, I will be sure to post the information on the events page.

Dr. Liu gave me this photo to have signed.

Former Lakers star Michael Cooper made an appearance at Dr. Liu’s Optometry practice in Rowland Heights. The event was a private meet and greet just for patients and friends.

As patients and friends arrived we were all required to check in with the receptionist since all of the invited guests were on a list. We were only allowed a few items per person because Michael was only going to be there a short time. Coop had everyone entertained by joking and making conversation with fans.

Coop is very entertaining at his appearances.
