My brother is in the throughbred business and last year he sold a horse to Toby Keith and has gotten to know him and his farm manager fairly well. Well last night, Toby was in town for a concert and my brother was given free tickets along with back stages passes and me, my sister, cousin, a friend and my brother went.
Before anyone was allowed in the ampitheater, purses and backpacks were checked by security and of course, my mini woodvil was in my purse. I thought for sure I'd be questioned about it, especially with the glass drip tip on it. (My kids tease me and say the drip tip makes it look like a drug device. LOL) But nope, we were cleared and went to the back stage area.
When we got back there, there was ALOT of people waiting to see Toby and there was ALOT of security back there. We stayed towards the back, figured we'd let everyone else see/take pics with Toby, then we'd go up.
I was just standing there and out of nowhere, Toby Keith just waltzed into the room. I turned to tell my brother that Toby just came in when all the sudden, a HUGE security guy was right in front of me telling me to come with him!
Don't know why, but I just knew I was being escorted out or arrested because of that glass drip tip on my REO and I tried to get my brother's attention but he had his back turned to me and didn't see what was going on! The guy lead me straight up to Toby Keith and just WALKED away, left me standing there in front of Toby, dazed!
I was stunned, didn't know what the world was going on! Toby hadn't met with anyone at that point and there was alot of people that were way ahead of us. I just stood there, still reeling over the fact that I thought I was fixing to get taken down and Toby leaned over to me and said, "how are you doing, sweetheart!"
All I could say was, "OMG, I thought I was going to jail or stripped searched over my ecig!" He laughed, asked why and I explained and showed him my beautiful teak wood mini woodvil.
Toby was very impressed, asked who made it (and I told him a great guy named Rob that lived in Maine and what R*E*O stood for)
Meanwhile, my brother turned and saw what he thought was another woman wearing the same pink dress as me talking to Toby, then realized it was ME! Around that point, I had told Toby that I was Randy's sister and he was there too and he called for Randy to come over and join us. LOL LOL LOL LOL
We chatted, got pics, and then it was time for the concert to start so Toby had to go. Randy then turned to me and asked how did I get up there with Toby. I don't have a clue as to why the security dude pulled me away and took me to Toby, didn't ask, didn't care, I was just grateful that I wasn't put in handcuffs. LOL LOL
However, I didn't tell that to my brother, I told him it was my REO that made me special!
