any idea how early I should get to Border's in b.r. for the signing on sunday? It is in the mall correct?
Posted on 7/19/10 at 10:40 am to bigberg2000
Look back in this thread. In Metry people were lining up over 24hrs in advance and sleeping there. There's no Saints fans in BR according to some though. At least it's indoor line at the MoL.

Thanks. I did check the saints site. I must have just over looked it. That's kinda were I thought it was going to be.

A Wilmington-born professional football player is giving back to the community. Jay Ross, a defensive tackle who signed a free agent contract with the champion New Orleans Saints in April, is hosting a football camp. This was the first day of the camp at the MLK Center downtown.
Ross was the captain of New Hanover High School's football team. He also played at East Carolina. He says he's happy to have the opportunity to help kids in his hometown.
"A lot of people don't understand that you don't have to help a large group of kids," Ross said. "Just get a small group and start from there and it will build just like a domino effect. I just want to be the person that little kids look up to, because I always wanted someone to look up to as I was growing up."
The camp is free and open to kids of all ages. It continues Saturday. It runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the MLK Center on 8th Street between Church and Nun Streets.
----------------
Good character reference event. The current roster has to have a higher percentage of legitimate good guys than any Saints one in history.
If anyone is around there, it would be kinda whodat cool to stop by and wish him luck. It would be a good expression of how big n strong the whodat nation is.

Pensacola report-
The signing for Brees' book "Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity" did not start until 10:50 a.m. - 25 minutes later than expected. It appears the Super Bowl MVP is going to accommodate the hordes of fans that arrived for the event, some as early as Friday morning.
Police have estimated that well in excess of 1,000 autograph seekers jammed the store today.
The Super Bowl MVP quarterback of the New Orleans Saints is in town for an exclusive signing of his new book "Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity" and nearly 1,000 fans of the Saints have packed the Barnes & Noble location on Airport Boulevard.
With a sea of Brees game jerseys, Mardi Gras beads, Saints paraphernalia and Bourbon Street music filling the store, Brees was scheduled to begin signing at 10:30 a.m. and will accommodate as many fans as possible by the time the signing is scheduled to end at noon.
The line for the signing is about 50 deep into a parking lot that's at capacity. Store officials opened the doors hours ago and the Barnes & Nobles aisles are jammed with fans that snake from end of the building to the other.
Longtime Pensacola resident and Saints fan Jason Heeler was the first in line for the signing, arriving at 9:30 a.m. Friday. Fan No. 11 to purchase a book and get a ticket for the book signing line was Pensacola's Sarah Noel, who staked her spot behind Heeler several hours later at 3 p.m.
There were an estimated 20 to 30 people, including some in a large RV, that spent the night in the parking lot at Barnes & Noble, just for the chance to get Brees' autograph.
General traffic around the store's location could be best described as hectic, and most likely will remain that way into the early afternoon.
