I emailed Ralph Baer, asking if I can get his Autograph.....

Post by nightwheel »

..eailer yesterday evening. And he emailed me back saying yes. And that to send him a SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope) and he'll send me back a signed Photo.

I have to be honest, When I saw the email address of Ralph Baer show on my Trillian 3 yahoo mail notifier 15 minutes after I sent a email to him. I nearly crapped my self in shock and utter amazement. Ive been on a emotional high for most of the evening since then.

Most of you here should know who Ralph Baer is. But for some reason you don't know who Ralph Baer is. Read the stuff in the following links and you will know why he is cool:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_H._Baer
http://www.ralphbaer.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey²
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)

Also anyone want to see the email I got back from Baer. And the Email I sent to him?

And and to keep this from being a blogish topic. Has any one here emailed or sent a letter to someone famous asking for a autograph. And got a answer back saying yes? (Or a unfortunate no?)

That's freaken awesome! Now I want a signed pic from him! :lol:

As far as getting an autograph from peeps...I have none...most of the peeps who I'd like to get an autograph for are either far too difficult to get a hold of, or are dead. :(

I've thought about sending off for a signed pic from "Weird Al" Yankovic. He'll do it, but it takes forever to get it - on his website, he compares getting his autograph to glacial motion... :(

I should just do it, though. The sooner I send it, the sooner I'll get it back.
