Back in April I won 2 tickets through KBUL 93 to go see Josh Gracin and Darryl Worley. I was totally excited and gave them to David as a part of his Easter gift. Well on Monday, KBUL was having a contest to find the best story of persons who won 2nd place. I just so happen to have 'won' my husband being in second place. My friend and I were at a Dee's restaurant when we noticed 2 cowboys sitting in a booth across the room. We introduced ourselves and invited them to go watch a movie with us. My friend and I played rock, paper, scissors to see who would get to ride with the tall, cute cowboy. I lost! We went to watch movies and were out way too late. My friend and the tall, cute cowboy dated each other for about 2 weeks when he called me and asked if I wanted to hang out with him because my friend was a little crazy!!! End of story we have been together for over 14 years!!!
Anyway, I didn't win the KBUL contest, I took 2nd place. Which was actually the winner of 4 tickets to the concert and 2 backstage passes!

The Concert
We picked up our neighbor and friends, Don & Cynthia Anderson at 4:00 PM and meet up with my brother in law, Kim and his wife, Rochelle. We drove to Saratoga Springs and found a little Mexican Grill restaurant, La Lago. Enjoyed a good meal, I had the pork chimi and David had the Southwest Plate with enchilada, taco and burrito.
We were cutting time close I had to be to the KBUL kiosk @ 7:00 PM to get my backstage passes, we made it! I received my passes from Coyote McCoy and was told to meet them down by the stage @ 7:20. Megan Mullins was the header was we listened to her. We went down and was guided back stage where we meet Josh Gracin! Very handsome, polite and sweet! We had him sign a CD insert and our backstage passes. We got a picture with him and several of him. We also were able to meet Megan, she signed a couple of pics for us and we took a picture with her as well. We were told to come back @ 8:20 PM to meet Darryl Worely.
Josh Gracin came on stage right at 8:20, as we stood in line waiting for the PR to come get us we enjoyed listening to him up close and got some great shots! He played a number of current songs and also played a new song that was just recorded.
We were guided back, stood in line and waited for him to exit his trailer. We could hear Josh from the backstage area but could not see him. In the mean time Darryl Worley's PR was walking around letting everyone know that we would get one autograph and could have our picture taken with him. He noticed the 2 girls behind us, who did NOT dress for the weather, asked if they were cold and turn away. They laugh and said yes, we turned and were talking with them when Darryl Worley came out and gave them a comforter to share. He reminded them he needed it back when they got to the front of the line and walked away! I took a picture of the girls and they started to make phone calls!
Darryl Worely is 6 foot 6 inches, I told David it will be nice to have a picture with everyone in the same frame! We had our picture taken with him and he signed out backstage passes. He was very sweet and commented on my eyes! He talked about his daughter and his wife for a minute and we left. I got some great up close shots of him backstage. We returned to our seats and finished the Josh Gracin concert.
The night was a tribute to the military and they had ALOT of stories and videos and speakers in between shows. It was great, don't get me wrong, but it was ALOT! Everyone was cold and wanted to show to go on!!!!
Finally, Darryl Worely came out and performed a lot of his patriotic songs. We enjoyed his show. They were to have a fireworks display, but I could not handle the cold and longer so I asked if we could leave. David wanted to stay but I headed to the car with Don and Cynthia. We were able to see the fireworks, but missed Darryl coming back on stage to perform 'Have you forgotten'
I had a great time and enjoyed spending time with great friends and family!
