Anyone going to RedsFest this year?

Is anyone going to RedsFest in a couple of weeks? I want to get the autographs of some of the old timers like Tommy Helms, Leo Cardenas, Jim Maloney, etc. Is there much of line for these guys?

I'll be going on Friday only. I'm going to try to get Eric Davis this year. The lines are pretty long for all the players. One tip is to get a Twitter account and follow @CincinnatiReds, have it sent to your text messages. They are supposed to announce where each player will be an hour ahead of time via Twitter, so you should be able to get somewhat of a jump on the ones you want the most.

I was lucky last year to get Cardenas and Clay Carroll pretty quickly; we were near the front of the line at the Hall of Fame booth and they were sitting right next to each other.

I went to RedsFest and had a blast. I struck out on Scott Rolen which cost me the opportunity to get Barry Larkin but I learned a lot from the experience. I will prepare a little better for '10 RedsFest. I think I got 26 sigs for the two days which was pretty strong.
