We had to wait a couple of months for the show which about killed us. Finally...SHOW TIME!
There we were trying hard to talk the promotions manager of SandStone in Kansas City to let us backstage, all he could do for us was give us the set list. Which was more than we had before so we were a little happier. There we were on Brad's side. We flirted like crazy with him. He was enjoying it also. During a song he went over to the side of the stage and had a conversation with a guy backstage. We didn't think anything of it. Then later, I happened to catch eye contact with this guy and he held up two fingers and his hand as if to say "You two stay there." We're like Ok...we're not going ANYWHERE! So he came out with two backstage passes. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was gonna pee my pants. When the show ended we went to the gate and had quite a wait before we could get back there. Once there, they took us with about 30 other people who had won passes through radio stations and such to a room kind of like a cafeteria. We waited again for about an hour and finally Tom Hamilton came out. He was wonderful. He talked with people and everyone got his autograph. I got his twice cuz he seemed to have the time to hang out. He was really cool. Then about a half hour later, the door opens and Steven pops his head through it a little and says they gotta make it quick so they can catch their plane. People swarmed to him. He was wonderful. He had jeans and a polo type shirt and smelled SOOOOO gooooooooood. He signed my shirt, the same one Tom did and I have it in a frame hanging on my fireplace with the backstage pass in it also. Tom also signed my ticket stub. They were both so friendly. I just wish I could have met Brad and thanked him for one of the very best nights of my life.
P.S. I'm telling ya, next time I meet Steven, he's signing my left arm just where his Mama Kin tattoo is and I'm going straight to the tattoo place and they're putting him permanently on my arm!
