I dont know if any of the band members ever get to see these posts, but i celebrated my birthday with a Gary Allan show and a borrowed rv since all the rooms were full. And needless to say it was the best birthday i ever had.
First of all met the venue promoters wife in the bar, and she graciously switched my two general admission tickets with her 3rd row isle tickets. I of course flipped out. Had an awsome show! me and one of my best friends got absolutly rowdy up there front and center! Durning dark whiskey i passed my buddies flask up to get signed and had no pen so he set it down and said he would be right back to sign it and then forgot....i was so dissapointed (and drunk) The security was nice enough to let me get my flask back witch was sitting next to his drink glass (grey goose - oj - and sprite) - being the hardcore stalker gary allan fan that i am - i took that too!
After that me and my buddy are walking around the casino drinkin out of Garys glass, we bumped into Jamie Hanna, and in my buddies drunken stoupor he got out that Gary was gonna sign my flask and how heartbroken i was. Jamie offered to have the band sign it and leave it at the front desk...when mike my friend told me he sent the flask with Jamie i was very sceptical, But low and behold it was at the front desk in the morning with 5 signatures including Gary Allan on the front. AMAZING!
Thanks and i will see you in mankato for my 3rd show this year!
Full Version: manohmen, mn best b-day ever
Alright Guy Garry! That's so sweet that Jaime did that for you! Gary and the band are such generous people-I can't even tell you. What did you do with the black cup? It was nice to meet another crazy junkie like ourselves that night! See you in Mankato---where are your seats?

im still drinkin outta it! it was nice to meet you guys too! i was just gonna post that we met some crazy girls that went to houston for a show too! it was amazing -I dont have tickets for mankato yet, im having trouble getting travel arrangments put together with the family thing, and harvest still going on...i may have to drive down and straight back. Not sure but rrrreeeallly wanna go. full shows are different right? or was manohmen a full show?
I am so happy you had such a great time. that Jaime and the guys signed your flask and got your seats change. that just makes your birthday even more special.
i was rediculous...they were leaving at 2am, and they still took the time to put it in an envelope and drop it off at the front desk..just crazy. The only thing i coulda asked for better was to push on to red wing and see him again, but i dont think it coulda been recreated...will never forget it.
AlrightGuy- I sent you a message!

HAHA - but isn't it always nice to meet just as big fans as yourself?! Me and Steph had a great time, and it was nice to meet you and your buddy too! And that is beyond awesome that you got your flask signed like you were hoping. I remember when you were telling us that.
Anyway, hope you can make it to the Mankato concert. It shall be of course a blast!!!

Hey all,
Thanks for all the replies, and messages. However i have bad news about the mankato show. I wont be making it this year, it has been brought to my attention by my family that that is deer hunting opener, and i have had plans since last year. Would LOVE to go. I tried every which way possible, its just a no go. But i will be looking forward to the updates, and i will be cranking the GA that evening.
