Dan the Banner hits up Boston

Well what an eventful couple of days. I brought Dan the Banner into Boston for a couple of days, and I would have to qualify it as a successful trip. Truth be told, we didn't get to go everywhere I would have liked in the short time, but Dan the Banner and I got to visit Fenway Park, TD Garden, Old North Church and Paul Revere's house. I had originally wanted to also go to Boston Common, the USS Constitution, and get some pictures around Fanueil Hall, but unfortunately some unforeseen circumstances cut my trip to the city short. But the pictures I was able to get with the Banner were fantastic, we had a great time, Dan even almost got mauled by the Bruins bear at the Garden! But I saved him. Great trip, will have to go back at some point to get some more pictures in the city, can't wait for the next adventure!

Dan meets Olympic Gold Medalist Jennie Finch!

Dan with Jennie Finch

So I am a few days behind on this, but Dan the Banner had a great start to the month of September when I  was fortunate enough to meet softball superstar, former member of Team USA, and Olympic Gold Medalist Jennie Finch! Jennie was making an appearance at the Brockton Rox game Saturday night, and thanks to the very nice people at On Deck Sports, I  was able to get a couple of VIP tickets to the game, BBQ and autograph session. I wasn't entirely positive that my Dan the Banner picture mission would be a success since it was more of an autograph session than photo session, but nevertheless I was going to give it my best shot.
I maneuvered myself to the back of the line - a few times actually - and of course laughed at the fateful moment that I revealed the giant banner standing in line and received a number of bizarre looks from the surrounding crowd. When it was my turn I approached the front of the line, said hello, and explained the purpose of Dan the Banner to Jennie, who while at first was entertainingly confused by the banner, said she absolutely would take a picture with Dan and was honored to do so. She asked if she could write him a note on the banner, I of course said yes - I mean, she's Jennie Finch, she can do whatever she wants - then took a picture. Added bonus: was able to catch the whole encounter on video, which is the first video documentation of a Dan the Banner encounter.
Being a HUGE Jennie Finch fan, I am so happy about this particular success. Very memorable day, hoping for more to come with the Banner!
