Tip of The Day: 

 

  

  Fromt left, Patrick Norton, me (Jame Fintel), and Leo Laporte

I actually convinced my Dad to drive over 400 miles to take me to Selinsgrove Pennsylvania to see Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton while they were on tour.  We arrived at the mall where they were going to be at 9:30 AM, Leo and Pat weren't supposed to arrive to 1:00 PM, a nice long wait for us.  We were the first people there, they were still setting up the setting up the set (see pic below).  I was wearing a shirt that said "Support Laporte" had a picture of Leo and said "www.supportlaporte.cjb.net" on it.  A staff member came over and said that she would make sure that we saw Leo and Pat since we came so far and waited so long.  Before Leo and Pat arrived Ken Marquis, the producer of The Screen Savers was giving a talk.  He said "Everybody, get in line" I raced for the front, and I made it, the first person in a line of about 500 people.  Ken did some more talking, then looked down and saw me, chuckled at the shirt anKen and I posed for momd pulled me onstage.  He saw my Mom taking pictures of me, up on stage and posed in the picture to the left.  I got off the stage shortly before Leo and Pat came in.  Leo and Patrick came in and got onstage and Leo started talking.  Leo then pointed to me and said "...Ha, I like that shirt..."Leo pointing to me then Leo talked some more.  Then Leo pulled me onstage!  He asked me some questions like my name, and when I told him where we came from, Toledo Ohio, he said "Wow, you drove from Toledo just to see us??!!" then he said some more and said "who drove you here?" I pointed to my Dad and said he did.  Leo had Dad come onstage with me.  He talked to us for awhile in front of the crowd then I got back down and Leo started signing autographs.  So I came back around to the stage and Patrick asked what my name was (again) then Patrick wrote "To James, Thanks for driving in from Toledo" and Leo signed it.  And for my dads picture he put "Thanks for being a great chaffeur" and then I asked Leo if he would sign my Support Laporte t-shirt.  Leo said he would. Leo signing my shirt. Leo wrote on my shirt "Right on, James" and then signed the shirt.  While Leo signed my shirt the camera crew zoomed in on my shirt, and did some other stuff.  Then when I was done the newspaper guy asked me a few questions.  Then Ken, found me and my family, brought the camera crew over, and they filmed our family doing a ZDTV promo which will b e aired on T.V. and then they interviewed me about why I like ZDTV, my favorite show, favorite host, and some other questions.  Then we all got a ZDTV T-shirt, a ZDTV hat, and I got a Screen Savers hat.  Then, we realized that I hadn't gotten my picture taken with Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton, they me get back onstage so that we could take a picture, Leo had us take two picture, one he is doing the "L" for "Leo" and in the second one, we're just standing there.  It was very fun, and was worth the drive there.
