I was very lucky that my father was visiting his childhood friend in California at the time they were filming this episode. My mom had one of those giant Nokia cell phones and my best friend, who was also obsessed with The X-Files, saw a post on a forum about signs near a baseball field. She called my mom’s giant ass phone (that was only for emergencies) and told me it was near where I was so I begged my parents to take me but they thought I was bat shit crazy. And my dad said it was rude to leave. Luckily for me, my Dad’s friend’s son John offered to take me.
There were only like 20 or 30 people there at the most. DD was all over the place, he walked through the group I was standing in and put his hand on my shoulder (best moment ever) but I don’t remember him signing anything. Gillian did come out and sign but I wasn’t on her side of the field and didn’t want to give up my spot. We weren’t allowed allowed to take pictures, understandably.
