In honor of Fan Fest this week in Nashville (insert pouty face here for not being there), I would like to reminisce about my Sugarland weekend
in VA in Summer 2008.
Most of you probably don't know of my love for this duo. Their music speaks volumes to my heart and has got me through some really touch times. I've had the pleasure to meet them several times and Jennifer & Kristian are the nicest people ever. Jennifer even quoted meeting me, in an online interview, that I was one of her "favorite fan moments." Pretty freakin' cool, right. She even remembers my name. HOLLA!
I went up to VA Beach on Friday, laid out at the pool all day & then hit the beach so I could get as close to the stage as possible. Front row...not bad for an hour wait in line. Incredible show as usual.
The next stop was Bristow, VA on Saturday. I stopped by one of my sorority sisters, Lindsey's place, & we proceeded to the venue where we over-indulged in cold bevvies...even peed in the woods.I met my pal, Annie, the bass player for Sugarland so we could hang out a bit. Annie, at the time, was collecting vintage grape cluster lamps. I actually had one so I boxed it up and met her at will call to give it to her. In appreciation, Annie hooked us up with All-Access passes and some amazing seats. Thanks again, Annie!!
Once again the show was amaze-balls!

Annie in actionI'm really sad I'll be missing their show next week in NC. Bummed, really.
If you haven't seen Sugarland live, its a MUST. Best show ever & you won't regret it...promise!
I like Sugarland. Didn't realize the guy's name was Kristian, his cool factor just increased in my book. haha.
ReplyDeleteBut you forgot about the best part of the story which is the part I tell everyone. When you delivered what would become one of my most prized grape lamps, you had spilled beer all over it at the tailgate. With a quick wipe-down it was good as new! Amaze-balls...
