Now, everyone knows I'm a little bit of an obsessive Sugarland fan, a few people know I'm an obsessive Reba fan, but not too many know that I am a die hard Clint Black fan. Well here comes the truth boys and girls, I am even more of an obsessive Clint Black fanatic.
So out in Eagle Mountain, they have this thing called Pony Express Days. Each year they wrap it up with a concert and fireworks. This year Clint Black headlined the concert. I got the presale tickets as a member of his fan club. Oh yeah baby :)
So we get to the amphitheater a little late, but that's okay because we found a really great seat up in front to the side of the stage. Then, when the opening act came on, everyone started moving up against the stage. So, I went along hoping to get right against the stage for Clint. Boy did that happen. He was seriously 2 feet away from us and there were moments where I could put my hand on his shoe, grab his leg, or pull him straight down into the audience. Of course I touched the shoe... and then leg... but that's as far as I got. He seriously touched my hand like 3 or 4 times and then held my hand for like 10 seconds. 10!!! Oh my gosh. I probably looked like an idiot I was beaming so

Almost got the shot of him slapping my hand!!! :) |
There was a time in the concert when they brought out another mic and a stool for him to sit on. Dead serious, he was RIGHT in FRONT of ME!! He kept looking at me and smiling because I was smiling so hard. I was DYING. I could hardly breathe. In one of his songs... I held up a heart and him and shouted "I LOVE YOU CLINT!!!!" and he looked RIGHT AT ME and smiled even HARDER!! Ahhhh and then... and then on TWITTER HE posted THIS!!! About ME!!! He remembered who I was!!!!Then, after that song he walked up to me and asked (in front of everyone, but without a mic) if I knew all the words to all of his songs. Practically fainting, I shouted back at him YESS!!!!! He smiled at me and said "You think you're my biggest fan, don't you? Because I sure think so." And I practically screamed at him "I AM!!!" And then he smiled really big and started singing again!! That was the part that I seriously almost fell over. I had a conversation with CLINT BLACK!!! I was in HEAVEN! Talk about StArStRuCk!!
Oh my gosh. By the end of that concert I could hardly talk, let alone breathe. I felt like I was DEAD on CLOUD 9!
SOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It just feels like one big crazy dream.....
