I was there... who else kissed the cup? :D

I saw someone propose to his g/f in front of the cup just as they had finished their pic.

Tell me everyone around BOOOO'd!!

No, but they hummed The Death March song followed by pointing and uproarious laughter.

We had our scheduled time at 6pm and since we came from north of Santa Barbara we left way early and got there about 5:15. There weren't many people around and we were able to get right through. We got about a minute with the cup and the photographer was really good and made sure the picture came out good. I was very happy with the experience even though it was so short.

It was nice to re-live the emotions and great memories of the cup run....

That is pretty cool that you could get the framed hard copy version right there. I would have done that in a heartbeat.

If she said yes, the Cup is 3/3 this offseason... that I'm aware of.

Was awesome got to hug the cup in my pic with my baby. Thanks to everyone who yelled and screamed so my baby would turn towards the photog. Splurged on the frame aswell but no quick so getting my shipped out.

Our appointment was at 5, but got there at 4. No line, no crowd, and spent about 2-3 minutes with the cup. My hands were shaking as I touched it. Gave it a huge hug, and then took the pix.

Photographer was nice and patient as we fawned over Stanley. He made sure all our eyes were open, and we were smiling. Great experience overall!!

Both my friend and I had our raffle tickets pulled, so we probably got about a minute each with the Cup. The photographer yesterday seemed very concerned whether the pictures turned out good and re-shot one of mine and 2-3 others that I saw. They only got huffy with us when we tried to take phone camera pictures of the Kings engravings. Have no idea if things will be similar today. Since this is (I think) on the second public appearance in Socal with the engravings, I would tend to think the even will be fairly well-attended, and I seem to recall seeing something that said all of the spots were "sold out."

That is good to hear that the photographer this time actually cared. I was lucky because we talked it over before we got to the cup.

Wow...resolution of the images taken at Home Depot is much less than those at Nokia. A little disappointing about this as it's really not worth zooming in and cropping a better picture.

96 dpi at home depot center vs 300 at Nokia. That's 1/10th the quality. That's barely even printable.
