Another stalking adventure continues…. So after Cowboys, we got up the next morning and headed to Ft. Worth. This time we’re going to Billy Bob’s! The last time Chris was at Billy Bob’s was back in March of this year and that was the first time I was able to go backstage and meet him. So Billy Bob’s has a special place in my heart!lol Back in March he also played at Cowboys. He did Ft. Worth first and then headed to San Antonio. So this time we’ll go the other way around.
When I put in my request for a meet and greet I just assumed I would get it! I haven’t been told no yet! But this time there were a lot of requests for passes, so we were asked to do things a little different. We needed to submit our ticket receipt. So after all that, I did not get a meet and greet. Bummer!!!! But no worries, us stalkers have our ways! J
When we got to Billy Bob’s we were able to find some of the ladies from the night before. We started talking with them and learned that there is a whole new level of stalker that we aren’t even close to! (Right, Laura?!!?) Laura and I are mere mortals in comparison to what these ladies will do for Chris. I have always just seen these ladies at the Texas shows, so kinda assumed they were from here. I’ve seen Chris in Louisiana and Colorado, and I hadn’t seen them….well come to find out that a few of them are from Washington state!! They fly in for these shows and then turn around and head home. Needless to say that they were very upset that they did not get their meet and greets for the night! I can understand, I mean you flew in to see the man and then you don’t get to meet with him. Those few minutes are what make the whole night! We hung out with them for a little while and talked about the upcoming shows and some of the changes in personnel. So now we all need to figure out how we are getting our face time with Chris. But like I said, no worries, these ladies had some juicy info! One of the ladies found one of the radio stations and they were giving away one pair of meet and greet passes. So we headed over there to fill out our little raffle tickets. Unfortunately none of us won. We still had options though! One of the ladies comes back to the group we’ve now become and has a cd and a wristband! Oh yeah, that almighty wristband! If you go buy a cd you get a wristband! And that wristband gets you a place in line after the show to meet Chris! So now we’ve got our meet and greet! Of course everyone is saying it’s just to get something signed, you don’t have all the time you normally would if it were a normal fan club meet and greet, but like that stops any of us!haha
So on to the show! Chris is amazing as always! Yeah I know we saw him the night before and it was pretty much the same playlist, but he does something just a little different each night! I was able to get some good shots during the show and security even came over and yelled at me! J Said I was not allowed to take video! Ummmm I wasn’t taking video; I was patiently waiting for Chris to move from behind the pole! So yes it may have looked like I was taking video at the time, but I was behaving! J Ok I was behaving then, not saying if I behaved the whole night! ;) So you know I have to go get a playlist from the boys. Well I was able to talk with the new bass player this time. Shawn was able to go get me Kevin’s(drummer). When I asked for one, he was like mine are gone….so I told him to go get Kevin’s, that I wasn’t quick enough to get his! Told him thanks and then had to go run over to get in line to see Chris!
Laura and I were able to get in line behind our new stalker friends. The line was moving fairly quickly and it’s cute to watch the girls that have met him for the first time. They walk away all giggles and smiles. By now we’re all old pros at this and are able to get in and actually talk to the man! So the ladies in front are with Chris and of course they have to have a picture taken with Chris. Well his new manager is telling the ladies that they need to hurry, they should have done pictures while he was signing their stuff. I’m just waiting for him to look at me and say something, cuz I’m like “there is no way I’m telling this lady to hurry, you haven’t heard the things she’ll do for this guy.” So it’s my turn now! J I let him know that I’ve left them some goodies with his dad. His dad is again working his merchandise booth. He says “thanks, you’re so sweet.” Made my night!lol Not as hot as hearing him swear the night before, but what girl wouldn’t like to hear she’s sweet! So anyways, I tell him I’ll see him at New Years, and ask him what he would like then. His answer??? He just wants me to come! Ok so I’m sure he tells all the girls that! But anyways….I say of course I’ll be at the show, it’s for my birthday! J So there’s not really much time for anything else, so he signs my cd and I take a quick picture with my blackberry. Laura has her turn with him and I take her picture with her phone! And because I’m a crazy psycho stalker chic, we go back to his merchandise booth and talk to his dad again. I’ve already talked to him twice that night, but now I need a picture with him! Oh yeah, gotta make sure dad loves me too! Tell him I’ll see them New Years and he says everyone will be there that night. It sounded like he was saying the whole family would be there for the big New Year’s Eve show. So that should be fun. Well I have to let him know that it’s my birthday and somehow I let him know I’ll be turning 30 and he says no way you’re gonna be 30! “I love you already” is what I tell him! So I get my picture with him and tell him good night and Laura and I are on our way back to our room.
So, all in all a good night! Good show and I got pictures with Chris and his dad. Laura and I definitely have fun on these trips. Granted we are tired when we are done with these back to backs, but it hasn’t stopped us yet. We keep saying we’re too old for this, but then we see these ladies and they are in their 50’s and 60’s and flying around stalking Chris, so maybe we’ll never really be too old for this shit!haha My next adventure will be the KJ97 Star Party that I won tickets for! Went with one of my co-workers and stayed up way too late for a Tuesday! But it was fun and the people put on good shows! Next up for Chris is the New Year’s Eve show in Arlington. Planning on going to a hockey game before the concert, so it should be a fun night!
Laters…..
