GB Autographs: Rap Artist/Actor/Comedian Donald Glover A.K.A. Childish Gambino 10/25/12

What a crazy day. I put way too much time into this, but thankfully in the end it was way worth it. I went over to Uconn after my last class finished at 5 tonight, and waited in back of the venue for a few hours. Even up until 20 minutes before the show, Donald was nowhere to be seen, so I just went in and found a good spot. I was disappointed after waiting hours to no avail, but I sure as heck wasn't going to give up my shot after the show.

I went back to my spot, actually a better spot than earlier on, and a guy who was in charge of the event(uconn employee not Gambino's crew) talked to me.

Guy, "Can I help you?"
Me, "I'm just waiting for an autograph."
Guy, "Oh that's cool, you know it's going to be a while right?"
Me, "Yeah I'm used to this kind of thing."
Guy, "Okay, I mean like 45 minutes long."
Me, "Yeah no problem."
Guy, "Hey bro do you have a marker?"
Me, "Uhhh yeahhh?"
Guy, "Cool. Can I borrow it when I bring him out?"
Me, "Yeah of course."

After this I thought my chances were GREAT. I was the only one. Another guy I graph regularly with showed up which was cool.

Soon after that, a security guy came out, and said we had to stand on the side walk. (About 30-40 feet away from the door, if not more.)

I explained to him that the head guy thought it was okay for me to be there, but he wanted no part of that and had to be a tough guy.

Meanwhile, my buddy and I go over to the sidewalk, and as the show is getting over, more and more people started coming over asking if we were waiting for autographs. 99.999% of these people were drunk and just wanted pictures. They were being super loud, so my heart sank a little.

The Uconn police along with on site security tried to tell us that he came out already, which is never true. When we didn't move, someone came out and said that Donald would not be signing anything at all. Obviously after waiting so long, I wasn't going to leave.

Donald came out, and I called him over twice.
He came over, and the ink started flowing.

He had a realllly crappy black sharpie which was dead. I was the first person to get him so my album came out really bad, but I gave him my blue sharpie and said, "Just keep it for everyone."
He was happy about that and let me dip a good 3-4 times, he shut me down silently though after a while, but I ended up with 6 items which was incredible after my long, long day.

The album, which was with his bad marker:
