The Night I Met...CLAAAAY WALKER!!!!

Get ready for a looooong post!!!
Yesterday was the Annual Duckjam held in College Station benefiting the Texas A&M Ducks Unlimited Chapter. I have never been before, but when I saw who the headliner was...CLAY WALKER, I HAD to get tickets for this!! The concert was held at Wolf Pen Creek last night, and some friends of ours had lawn chairs sitting front row...so they were nice enough to let us sit in front of them on the ledge of the moat...so nothing stood in between me and Clay Walker!! Talking about freaking out!! Little did I know what was yet to come!!Let me set the scene here for my story. For those of you who have never been to Wolf Pen, here is the amphitheater where he performed. There is about 3 feet of nasty water surrounding the stage, but I didn't mind sticking my feet in as we sat there and listened to the concert...oh it was soooo nice!! Front row, dead center, he noticed me for sure!! He sang to me soooo many times. He started throwing out guitar picks
and this Clay Walker guitar pick landed in my shirt!! ahhh I was not sure where it went til I looked down and there it was stuck!!


By my previous posts, ya'll know my favorite part is the towel...man!!! He was working that towel right in front of me!!!! Trae Viser saw Clay about to throw the towel so he jumps into that nasty water and...


comes out with the towel!!! Can you believe it??? I got THE Clay Walker towel!!So since Trae was already wet he took me to the edge of the stage on his shoulders...where Clay sang to me and held my hand!!!!! He kept noticing us so he personally made sure that we had these...BACKSTAGE PASSES!!!!!!


He had one of his managers come look for us with a flashlight in that nasty moat water to make sure that we got backstage!!!
So we went backstage and he immediately started talking to me about how he saw my feet in the water before anyone else even jumped in and was telling the photographers to make sure and get pictures of me!!! After a conversation about east Texas and the Peveto's, singing with his band, and a few hugs I left as the happiest girl the world!!! I mean when I was little I was nicknamed at school as "clay walker girl" and would blow the candles out on my birthday cake wishing I could meet Clay Walker and it finally came true!! It is always nice to be fans of not only great musicians, but ones that are genuine, and let me tell you Clay Walker is true blue!!! I could go on and on, but instead I'll just let you look at more pictures!!



Can you tell we had been out there for a loooong day?? Once I get better pictures from Alex's camera I will post those up!


I am sure plenty thought I was crazy...but as Clay Walker says in his song Live, Laugh, and Love "Carpe Diem" Seize the day!!!! I would regret not going out in that water!! What a night!!!

When we went backstage cameras and cell phones were not allowed, but one of his managers was filming us back there, so look for it on claywalker.com!! I'll keep you posted whenever they get it up!!!
