Since the store co-owner,<strong> Joe V<\/strong>, is a <strong>SZoner<\/strong>, I was given advance notice and made plans to be there.  Talk about a cool experience.  <strong>Frank<\/strong> was totally down to earth and spent the time talking with fans, signing autographs and CDs.  <strong>Frank<\/strong> has a new reality tv show in the works.  Of course we&#8217;ll keep you updated as it moves closer to production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/imgs\/news\/2009\/nov\/111509frank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although <strong>Frank<\/strong> and I had exchanged e-mails over the years, it was my first time meeting him in person.  <strong>Frank<\/strong> was very gracious and thanked me for my efforts with the <strong>StalloneZone<\/strong>.  He explained that <strong>Sly<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t mess around on computers much and at first had reservations about someone using his name and creating a website about him.  <strong>Frank <\/strong>explained to <strong>Sly<\/strong> that &#8220;<strong>Craig <\/strong>is one of the good guys&#8221; and the <strong>StalloneZone<\/strong> is a positive place for <strong>Stallone<\/strong> fans to gather.  <strong>Frank<\/strong> also wanted to make sure that all <strong>SZoners<\/strong> knew how much he and<strong> Sly<\/strong> appreciated our support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/imgs\/news\/2009\/nov\/111509frank_stephen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also met a couple of other fans at <strong>Frank&#8217;s appearance<\/strong>.  The first, <strong>Stephen Isaia<\/strong>, is a huge <strong>Frank Stallone \/ StalloneZone<\/strong> fan.  <strong>Stephen<\/strong> flew down to <strong>Florida<\/strong> to attend a <strong>Frank Stallone<\/strong> concert and come to the store appearance.  It was a pleasure meeting <strong>Stephen<\/strong>.  I also met <strong>Mike Tourney<\/strong> who collects autographs and guitar pics.  <strong>Mike<\/strong> had an original <strong>Valentine<\/strong> record album for <strong>Frank<\/strong> to sign. <strong> Valentine<\/strong> was <strong>Frank&#8217;s band<\/strong> back in the <strong>pre-Rocky <\/strong>days.  Talk about rare!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll post more on<strong> Frank&#8217;s visit<\/strong> next weekend along with a few more photos.
