Did anybody go? Almost the whole cast of swamp people where there signing autographs. When I stopped in earlier today the line to them was out the front door and all the way around the corner of the building, and no I didn't wait in it.

No, but a g/f of mine and her SO got pictures with Troy and his boy at Middendorfs a couple of hours ago. No line.

I went and got autographs and pictures. It was Troy, Jacob, Terrell, Bruce, RJ, and Jay Paul. They are great guys...all incredibly engaging and gracious. They really emphasized talking to the kids and thanked the people for coming.

I live in North Louisiana, but was in Baton Rouge visiting in-laws. When we saw that they were going to be in Hammond, we decided to go over and meet them before driving home. The line was crazy! People wrapped around the building with chairs, fans, and umbrellas waiting to see them. Academy started handing out free bottled water to those standing in the sun.

All in all, it was worth it. And, I didn't see anyone complaining. I really didn't realize their popularity until yesterday, but they are really booming and I think it's great.
