FIRST OFF LET ME THANK MR.DREW MILLER,A LOCAL DJ THAT IS A
MAN OF HIS WORD. MY WIFE AND I MET UP WITH THE HOUST AND HIS GIRLFRIEND JUST
OUTSIDE THE GATES OF FRANKLIN COVEY STADIUM, THAT IS THE FIELD OF DREAMS FOR
SURE. HOUST BROUGHT HIS 1983 SILK JACKET FROM THE MIDNIGHT MADNESS TOUR AND
OF COURSE WE HAD ARE CUSTOM MADE HATS DONE AGAIN,AND I HAD PLANS FOR THEM.
THEY OPENED UP WITH MIDNIGHT MADNESS AND THE JACKET HIT THE STAGE, I DIDN'T GET TO BRADS SIDE WE WERE ABOUT 3 ROWS BACK IN FRONT OF JEFF, HE PICKED UP THE JACKET AND ACTED AS IF HE WAS IN AWW,SHOWED IT TO THE CROWD AND JACK GAVE ME THUMBS UP, THEY ROCKED AND THEY ROCKED HARD, WHEN IT CAME TO SISTER CHRISTIAN, IT WAS TIME TO LAUNCH THE HAT, IT FLEW OVER JEFFS HEAD AND SAT ON THE STAGE AND BEFORE THEY PLAYED YCSRIA JACK PICKED IT UP AND PUT THE HAT ON, IT WAS GREAT. I MENTIONED DREW MILLERS NAME AND I TALKED TO HIM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND LET HIM KNOW HOW BIG A FAN I REALLY AM. I ASKED A SIMPLE REQUEST, THEY WERE THE SPONSORING RADIO STATION.AND I ASKED TO MEET NIGHT RANGER. HE TOLD ME TO SHOW UP AT THE MEDIA TENT AND IF HE COULD GET ME BACK THERE HE WOULD. I FOUND HIM AND HE PULLED IT OFF, HE HAD ME WAIT UP ON THE TERRACE AND WENT DOWN TO WHERE THE TOUR BUSES WERE TO GET ME A GREEN LIGHT, HE RAN INTO BRAD AND GOT THE OK. ME AND THE HOUST WERE ON OUR WAY TO MEET OUR IDOLS, THE KINGS OF OUR MUSICAL LIFFE's. BRAD WALKED OUT FIRST AND GREETED US,AND WE ALSO MET HIS BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER MONTANNA, IT WAS GREAT. JACK AND KELLY WALKED OUT NEXT AND JACK SAID TO ME "YOU WERE THE ONE THAT THREW THE HAT TO ME" AND THAT MADE MY DAY, WE HAD A CAMERA AND WE WEREN'T supposed TO HAVE IT BUT WE GOT SOME NICE PICS , MY WIFE WAS THE CAMERA WOMAN AND THERE I WAS ONE ARM AROUND JACK AND ONE ARM AROUND KELLY AND FOUND OUT WE WERE OUT OF FILM(SHIT),OH WELL ALL THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT THE SHOW, AND I THINK THE HOUST WILL HAVE THEM SCANNED AND TO YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE SOON. JEFF FOLLOWED AND I MUST SAY THEY WERE ALL VERY FRIENDLY AND SIGNED ANYTHING WE HAD. JACK HAS MY HAT, BUT ILL GET MY FRIEND TO MAKE ME ANOTHER ONE, WE WAITED FOR AWHILE FOR FITZ BUT NO SHOW, LUCKILY BRAD WALKED BACK BY AND I ASKED IF HE KNEW WHERE HE WAS,"YA HES ON THE BUS READING HIS BOOK, LETS GO" YES I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GIANT LIMOUSINE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE NR-LIST ON THE WAY THERE AND HE ASKED WHAT MY SCREENAME WAS AND WHEN I TOLD HIM, HE REPLIED " I THINK IVE READ YOUR POSTS BEFORE" SO YES THEY READ THESE LETTERS. WE GOT ON THE BUS AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS FITZ COMFORTABLY SITTING AT THE TABLE READING A NOVEL, MONTANNA PUT THE TV ON NICKELODEON AND I FELT LIKE I WAS AT HOME GETTING READY FOR DINNER. WE DIDN'T STAY TO LONG, SHOOK ALL OF THEIR HANDS AND TOLD THEM WE WOULD TRY AND SEE THEM AGAIN IN VEGAS. I TOLD MONTANNA I WOULD MENTION HER NAME ON THE LIST AND THATS HOW I LEARNED HOW TO SPELL IT, BRAD TOLD ME HOW AND THAT WAS HER FIRST TOUR STOP WITH THE BAND. IN CLOSING I JUST WANT TO THANK THE BAND FOR ALL THE MEMORIES AND THE SPECIAL SONGS THAT STILL MAKE THEM THE SPECIAL GROUP THAT THEY ARE. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTANNA IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS) GOD BLESS AND KEEP ROCKING "EDDIE'S COMIN OUT TONIGHT" - GRPKOOLAID@aol.com |
