My brush with a star.....

OK, how WEIRD is this~

On Monday night, I'm at the TACAC social, acting as Supervisor of Venue One. That sounds more important that it really is....we had 2 venues. My location and then Beach Bingo at the hotel. Racy!

OK, so here is the scene. Approximately, 200 TACAC members are at the Executive Surf Club. It is a fun little place in Corpus Christi. The staff is awesome to us and Patrick the manager is totally awesome! I am walking around making sure everything is going well. Everybody is having a fantastic time! Woo Hoo! Patrick (the manager) comes up to me and tells me that he needs to speak with me. He takes me inside the main area of the bar and introduces me to Randy of Diamond Rio. I think that this is really cool because I love Diamond Rio. Great music, cool guys...ect, ect. Randy of Diamond Rio wants us (along with his body guard) to introduce him to everyone around the bar.

OK, I can do that....I mean how often does Randy of Diamond Rio show up......this will be cool!

fast forward, fast forward.....

2 HOURS later, I am still introducing this dude to people. The body guard has followed me and Randy of Diamond Rio around all night. His 2 publicists (who look like ladies of the night...if you know what I mean) have asked me if I am a waitress in the bar. I say no but thanks for playing. Patrick has given me my 2nd free drink of the night because I'm still dealing with this guy. I am completely over Randy of Diamond Rio at this point. This guy is kinda creepy and weird. Finally I get them to leave so I can enjoy myself. Yea! Party Time! I forget about Randy of Diamond Rio.

fast forward, fast forward.....

Tuesday, we are at the airport. Guess who we see at the terminal next to us? Yes, that's right folks! Randy of Diamond Rio. I make eye contact, smile and wave. He doesn't see me. Hmm, that's odd~he looked right at me. Hey! His body guard isn't any where around. Hmm, that's really odd~this guy was glued to him the other night.

But then our flight gets called to board. We're flying Southwest Airlines so we all rush to the B line while the A line looks down upon us. I, again, forget about Randy of Diamond Rio.

fast forward, fast forward.....

Wednesday, I'm back at work. I decide sometime in the morning that I should look up the Diamond Rio band. I want to see Randy of Diamond Rio on the site. Guess what?!? I'm sure you picked up on this way faster than I did.

There is NO RANDY OF DIAMOND RIO! NOT ONE MEMBER OF THAT BAND IS NAMED RANDY!

I am in complete shock. What a freak!

This guy actually found a "bodyguard" and 2 "publicists" so he could walk around for 2 hours impersonating a famous singer....that doesn't exist.

WHAT A WEIRDO!! This is something that would only happen to me.

His name is probably Herbert and he is probably a pimp for those "publicists".

If you would like an autograph of Herbert the pimp.....I have it.
