I had a good time. I just dread the line in Cumming. Some people had arrived before the store opened.

I met Heyward! (and Fredi and Brian Jordan and Julio Teheran!)
So, I went to Columbia for the Braves Caravan today. Got there three and a half hours early and was 22 in line, which is also Heyward's number . They didn’t let me keep the paper sadly. There was also Brian Jordan, Julio Teheran and Fredi Gonzalez. I had a card of Heyward and Jordan. I already had one of Fredi signed, although I didn't have one of him as a Brave.

I must not puke on Chipper.
The Braves are doing their annual Caravan this week and next week,.
http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/community/caravan.jsp?loc=schedule
Sadly they are not coming to Evans GA this year where I have been going for the last two years. The next closest stop is in Columbia SC, which I hope to make, although I don’t know yet if we can make it. I hope so because Heyward is coming and I really, really want to meet him. Or well… get rushed through the line and get his autograph rather.
We are planning for Cumming though, which is the big stop with Chipper, McCann and Uggla. It is over three hours away and I want to get there at least three hours beforehand because I have a feeling the place will be a zoo. I just hope three hours will be enough. I will cry if I get turned away. Seriously bawl.
I just tend to get really, really nervous at these things. One year I was so sick to my stomach I ended up having to sit down on the ground so I didn't end up yaking.
Although I doubt they will let me, I am going to ask if I can shake Chipper's hand. I have gotten his autograph in person once before but I was a little disappointed because he never even looked up at me. I didn't even get to hand him my item to sign. You handed it to a girl who gave it to Chipper, and then he gave it back to another girl. I wanted to say something to him but I couldn't get a word out. My mom was still upset and has threatened to say how disappointed she was with him when we go this time. I'm scared I will get so nervous if he does look at me I will end up... getting sick on him. Sadly, I am only half kidding.
I also have a question to those Brave fans that had been to such events or any fans of bigger name players like Chipper. How were the lines? Is three hours enough time?

I'M GONNA MEET THE MANAGER!
Tuesday at 4 pm at the Sports Academy in Evans Ga! The Braves are doing their caravan this year again and the players and personal listed are as follows for the one I plan on going to!
Jonny Venters
Matt Young
Freddie Freeman
Brandon Hicks
Fredi Gonzalez <- w00t
I am excited for them all though!
I have been the last two years they have had it and had a blast. Can't wait this year. The years before I got to go through the line twice, even three times. If I can this year I just may have a contest. I just wish I had someone to go with as I always end up going alone.
