I'm on the list

This past weekend I went to Cashville...sorry, had a Young Buck moment...Nashville to celebrate my sister's birthday. She turned 30-something. Anyway, a friend of mine plays sax in different bands in Nashville and happened to be playing Saturday night for an event called, Art 'N Soul at an Art Gallery in Madison, TN(right outside of Nashville). So, my friend is allotted one extra ticket for the show so he invites me to come. My sister and her fiance decided to come and celebrate her birthday at this art showcase. We're on our way there, and her fiance is driving and talking on the phone(loudly) when we pass the Art Gallery. So, once we turn around and park, we head inside. My sister's fiance pays for them to get in and my friend is on the stage saying, "just tell them you're on the list!"

"I'm on a list!" Seriously? I've never been on a list before. At first I felt important, but then I felt that the person I knew was important. How cool is that? To be able to put people on a list? You may think I'm corny(okay...I am), but I felt like I had an insight to what my friends' career is going to be like. I can totally see him in an actual venue handing out VIP/backstage passes to people. I told him that I wanted one that says, "Don't even ask me for my ticket! I'm with the band".

He is the type of person that draws people to him. He always managed to be the center of attention, whether he's supposed to be or not. This fool is in the middle of playing on stage when he hops off the stage and starts playing while he's walking through the crowd!

Since it's my sister's birthday, he gets the band leader, Don Adams, to sing her Happy Birthday. She turns bright red! Then, just when she hopes he stops, he goes into the 2nd verse of the song, "I hope you get some tonight!" Her fiance is pointing to her saying, "I got this, dawg!!" The look on my sister's face is absolutely priceless.

In all, we had a great time. We saw some really cool artwork, listened to some really good music and laughed all night. I hope my sister had a great time.

Here are some pictures from that night:
