   Twilight Pembroke Mall Charity fiasco

   This event was a complete fiasco for the autograph seeker....My friend was   
   one of the first 75 in line, and was escorted out by security Saturday.   
      
   J mentioned that the agent set up the line rules, and the people who plopped   
   down 40$ at noon, for a foto op, and $25 for an additional autograph, got to   
   go to the front first. J had the $25, and never made it to the front, after   
   being in line since 7 am. the agent never acknowleged the early risers. This   
   even killed an opportunity for a 12 year old to meet the guy, who was number   
   one in line.   
      
    I told J, the policy should have been first come, first served for the ones   
   who wanted to donate to charity, the everyone would have went home happy!
