My Irvine, CA M&G experience

I don't post as much on here anymore cuz I don't really like the new site. But I just wanted to share with you all what happened with my meet and greet. Hopefully it will help some of you in the future with your M&G's!  By the way I have been in the fan club since 2004 and this is my 4th M&G.  I posted this on my facebook and copied to here. Sorry it's so long!

Ok everybody, now that I have calmed down a bit from what happened I can tell you all about it.

As most of you know from my posts and status updates I was very excited about this day. The gates opened at 3:30 and we arrived about 4:00. This was a "festival" type event so there was food, shopping, a small outdoor stage and just fun stuff going on outside the actual amphitheater. Well, when we arrived I went up to the box office/will call (which was outside the whole venue, in the parking lot) to get my M&G pass. They didn't have any M&G passes yet and they told me once I go inside the venue I can't come back out. Lovely! So me and Kev waited in the parking lot for about 45 minutes meanwhile running into some friends, Mary Kay and Dawn tailgating in the parking lot. Luckily, they helped pass the time. But I was so nervous and on edge, I just wanted to get my pass and get inside. Plus, I had to pee really bad. :) So finally went back, got my pass, got inside and hung out in the "festival" area for several hours. My M&G pass said I needed to be lined up at 7:00PM.

Met up with Janet and we watched Sarah Buxton together on the small outdoor stage. She rocked! Once she was done it was time to get over to my M&G. So I walked over to the main gate to get into the amphitheater and asked the security where I needed to go. They said "oh you have a M&G pass for Dierks you wait right here with these other people who are waiting." Okay, sounds right to me and normal for this kind of thing. So standing there I met Stephanie, a very cool girl from the fan club, and we hung out, laughed, and talked to some of the other people from Bud who were there for M&G's. The only thing that seemed weird was that we seemed to be the only fan club members there. But I was too nervous and excited to think anything of it. So finally, the security said "ok it's time to go" and they escorted us thru the amphitheater to the other side where we kinda just waited in line again. After standing there for a minute a guy asked who had beige M&G passes. A few people answered and he told them where to go, then he asked for blue. So me being my loud self yelled out "what about red, we have red." He said "hold on" went down stairs came back up and said "if you have red passes your TOO LATE those are already over." I'm like WTF of course. And I started telling him where we just were and told to do etc. He said "hold on" and went down again, then came back and said " ok if you have a red pass come with me." I'm so relived and follow him down the stairs with Stephanie behind me. We get down and a lady is asking who has red passes and to wait right here. So as we are waiting I see the radio station line and two ladies I know (one being the owner of Go Country who put this whole thing on). We said hello and chatted for a few minutes until this big a**h*** guy came up and said who is waiting that has red passes. Me and Steph said "US"! He said in a mean voice " THOSE ARE OVER!" I started trying to tell him everything that happened. And he cut me right off and said something like "NO THOSE ARE OVER!! GET YOUR TICKET OUT AND GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT!!!! I'm like standing there with my mouth dropped knowing I can't say anything else to this big a** idiot. So guess what I did.... yeah I cried! I don't know what the hell was wrong with me but tears immediately just started running down my face! I turned around to the radio station people I knew and was like "they just told me to leave, I don't know what to do". Them being all motherly, grabbed me and comforted me and pulled me in line with them and said your going in with us. They were like trying to calm me down and say don't worry, its fine your going in! Some other lady I didn't even know pulled off her pass and stuck it on me. I was so out of it and embarrassed at this time that I don't even know what was really going on. But somehow Stephanie ended up in line with me too! LOL! I think I told them that she was with me too, but I don't remember.

So next thing I know we are heading over to where Dierks is and I am trying to wipe away the tears and running makeup. Everybody keeps telling me don't worry I look fine, etc. But I feel like I look terrible of course. Luckily they changed the way the line went and I ended up towards the end. It gave my face some time to get back to normal. As I'm in line I see Jay and start telling him what happened. He could care less of course. So next thing I know I'm with Dierks trying to talk to him. I mentioned right away that I was from the fan club but ended up here, they snapped the picture, I kept trying to talk to him. He just kept saying "Oh ok" and "yeah" as he just kept looking behind me. Next thing I know he was reaching behind me to grab the next peoples paper to sign. I walked away....
I got my purse, headed back up to find Kevin, when the anger hit me. I think the whole thing that just happened really started pissing me off and I headed out of the stage area to the "festival" area to meet up with Kev. I was fuming! I heard Jimmy Wayne come on and didn't care. (I was really looking forward to him before). I got a drink (thought that would help) and headed with Kevin to our seats to catch Jimmy's last couple songs. I was very dissapointed with my seats because I had been thinking 13th row this whole time. Well I didn't realize we were way off to the side. So it seemed pretty far from the stage especially since what I'm used to with Dierks. When D came on I was still so pissed that I didn't even enjoy him. I tried too! But for some reason I think I was mad at him. All I kept thinking about was how I was breaking up with him too, like Chrissy!!! LOL!

Anyway, to finish off my long story I never really got over it that night, watched like half of Brad, not enjoying it ( I was also really looking forward to seeing him too) and left.
So that's my story people! I'm more over it now! And I know that D doesn't pay as much attention to radio station people because he has said that in M&G's before but I guess at the time I just thought that since I told him I'm fan club he would have. Oh well, life goes on! 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
