Canseco Lacking a Bit of Juice

I just returned from the Jose Canseco book signing on School St and there wasn’t too much exciting to report from it. There are people who are shy and then there are people who are virtually silent—Canseco comes from the latter camp. It seemed like Canseco barely took the time to lift his head in between signatures and periodically he would mumble a “hey how’s it going” or “thanks for coming out.” Canseco was flanked by a female companion and a bodyguard and was not allowing for fans to take pictures with him—although fans were welcome to take them from a distance.

There was a good crowd at the event that I’d estimate in the vicinity of 100 or 200 people. The line moved quickly and while Canseco never displayed outwardly rude words or behavior he also did nothing to endear himself to fans.
