Meeting and Greeting

I've never been to Fan Fest but I've always wondered about it. When I was a kid I would go to the mall when players were scheduled to sign at a store. It was always packed (no pun intended) and it felt like an assembly line. Waiting for an hour just to breeze by a player for less than a minute just wasn't a lot of fun. It wasn't like I had anything to say to the players either. If anyone reading has been to a Fan Fest, or went to it this week, please post your story and give a thumbs up or down. Thanks.
