    just a heads up, i was told that yao ming will be having a book signing today at the Borders in Meyerland
    I plan on going up there myself. Not sure about the exact time, i got to try find out but i think its in the evening (I think 7-ish), well after the astros game, hopefully.

    Shouldn't he be busy practicing his rebounding?

    How much do you think you could get for an autographed copy on Ebay?

    I'm surprised there weren't more people there last night. Yao looked bored as sheet. I guess I can understand that, sitting in a chair signing you name over and over again for a long time would be pretty tedious.

    Kind of like work.

    I'd say there were maybe 100 to 150 people there. It's a pretty big store, so it really wasn't very crowded. I was close to the end of the line and only waited about 15 or 20 minutes.

    Fewer autographs to sign = fewer books sold. He would sign 2 per person, so, of course, I got 2.

    I don't think Yao will be hurting if less books are sold. Ric Bucher, maybe.
