What a good time I had last night. I got there around 2, and meet up with Dirk the sound guy at the rear gate. I got to park where the trailers are. That is a big bonus when it comes to getting out at night. He hooked me up with some all access passes. I had invited a Polkie to come, but he couldn't make it. I wish I knew some of the acts that were there. I listen to music, but never watch it. If I knew what the people looked like I would of known who I was walking by, or who was hanging out near me. We went and hung out on his bus for a while. I was the first time I had ever been on a tour bus before. It was an 09 model done up real nice. I had a few drinks, hung out in the sound both. The other guys there were cool too. It ended up paying off having the extra passes. There were some hotties around, and I asked one of them if she wanted to take the tour. I gave her a pass, and we cruised up to the front. She was in disbelief, and loving it. She is a huge TK fan. Well I brought her around the back where all the show guys are. I had to use the bathroom, and while she was waiting someone opened the door right next to her. I come out she was lit up glowing. Telling me that was the door to the stage! I was like yeah I know. Wanna check it out? So I brought her back there she was really having a good time. We shot some pics then we went out back. I needed a refill, and offered her a beer. We went over to the bus, and I knocked on the door. The guys welcomed us in, and hooked us up. We hung out for a few, and I brought her back to the show. I went back to the sound booth. Near the end I asked if she and her friend wanted to up front I gave her friend a pass also, and we headed back up third row this time. It was cool. I really appreciate Dirk hooking me up. It was definitely a time I won't forget.

    Yeah I suck... late notice aside. Never mind the fact that I would like to punch Toby Keith in his junk. There were **** and booze to be had. I'm off to hire a hobo to drop kick me in the face as penance.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Toby's got people here don't like him either. Big Sooners fan, always on the sidelines of games whenever he could get there, and I seem to recall one time he wanted to scrimmage with the players, being a pretty good sized fellow himself. Blew out a knee or broke his leg, something retarded like that. :rolleyes:

    Lives out in the country on the Eastside, sends his kids to westside schools. I don't think the guy loses sleep over what people think about him one way or the other.
    Me, I think he's kinda funny, and I don't care either. I wouldn't listen to him, but big deal.

    Na. That's really not my style. Of coarse the thought sure did pass through my mind. I had the passes to dangle in front of naughty girls if I wanted to:) The one girl that I talked to grew up where I live, and her family is still here. Dirk and I were talking about women earlier. I mentioned that I wasn't looking, but that's when one will show up.

    From what I hear, Ben collects STD's like Pokemon cards. He'll trade you the Clap for a raging case of Crabs and incurable Syphillis.

    Believe me it was tempting. All access passes. Find some drunken TK fans. Do a couple laps around back. Ask them if they want to meet TK after the show? I may have had to make a few attempts, but I know it could have been pulled off multiple times.
    I am sure if I looked around for the right type of girls I could have had my way more than once. I was having a real good time just hanging out with Dirk. I spent most of the time with him. Country folks are real down to earth people from what I saw. This one hot chic was hanging around before the show, and we kinda got in each others way, and she said excuse me very politely. Later I was taking some pics of the guitars back stage, and she asked me if I was a terrorist? I told her I was with Dirk where does that put me? She laughed, and smiled. Later She was on stage singing, and she can sing.
    Here is a pic that girl I gave the pass to took with my camera. She was loving it.
