When he signed DVD’s  at the Pearl City Best Buy the line was so long I think it went over by about three hours.  We were trying to limit people to just the DVD and one other item but people kept bringing tons of stuff.  We would tell them only the DVD and they’d agree.  Right when they walked up to BJ they would bust out their 800 items and BJ Penn signed them all.  I wanted to do the rear naked choke on some peeps…JUST KIDDING!  BJ was really there for his fans that day.  He was genuine and appreciated everyone that came to see him.  That was awesome and now I tell everyone I know that BJ Penn is the coolest!

BJ Penn is getting ready to fight Diego “The Nightmare” Sanchez on Saturday, December 12th.  You can still buy travel packages to go see it live on the BJPENN.COM website.  If you can’t make that be sure to pay-per-view it and watch our local boy kick some ass..yeah ya!  Thanks BJ for letting me document your event and we’ll be rooting for you on the 12th.  I think my husband loves you more than me..haha!
