At
the 2016 Emmys, Ru took issue with me because I did not give him a "3
count" prior to snapping the original picture. We re-took one (this
one), and he was much happier. Ru was right and I was wrong.
UPDATE: I brought this picture to the 2018 Emmys. I ran into RuPaul (an Emmy winner himself that night) at the HBO Emmys after-party, and I asked him to sign the photo. He had a purse in one hand and his Emmy in the other. He refused to allow me to hold either so he could sign. Instead, he leaned over, thanked me and gave me a big kiss on the cheek.

My family and I were on our way to LA, and we took this picture in the Atlanta airport. The prior evening, my wife and I went to see Norm do stand-up at the now-defunct Atlanta Improv, so this was a nice surprise. I had brought a "Mike Tyson's Mysteries" poster (featuring his character, Pigeon) for him to sign at the show, but it didn't work out. When I told him that, he thought that was funny. He was great to speak to, and I think that I got the good end of the deal anyway. One of my favorites.

According to the manager at The Punchline who got Nikki to sign it, Nikki remembered where the photo was taken based on the outfit that she was wearing in the picture.
