Celebrity Encounters Vol. 2: Dierks Bentley

Once again, Holly and I were at Calf Fry. So many interesting and exciting things have happened to us at Calf Fry over the years. Hmmmmmmm..........wonder why??
Anyway, Jimmy was with No Justice and so we had our backstage passes. They have free beer if you get there early, so we got there early of course!! Calf Fry is held outside The Tumbleweed so the "backstage" area is just a fenced off area beside and behind the stage. There is a big, cement ramp that goes up to the stage. It makes it easier to roll equipment, amps, etc up to the stage. Anyway, Holly and I come thru the side gate and we're strolling towards the cement ramp and we see that year's headliner, Dierks Bentley, walking up the ramp. I say "Hey Dierks!" He never stops walking, glances at me and gives me a little wave from his hip. I don't even know if you could call it a wave.........it really seemed more like a brush off motion.

Now, with that said, my sister has a totally different account of how this story went down. I'm sure she'll get on here and give you her side of it but this is how I remember it!

Celebrity Encounters Vol. 1: Charlie Robison

The other night I was telling Tracey about the many times I've made a fool of myself when meeting a "celebrity." She was laughing her ass off and told me I should put them in the blog............so here we go.

First off: Charlie Robison. He played Calf Fry in Stillwater one year. Jimmy must have been working for No Justice 'cause Holly and I were backstage. I could not wait to meet Charlie and get a pic taken with him. Unfortunately, I had to go to the bathroom really bad and went into the club. In those days, we always carried a disposable camera to all the shows.......back before we were digital!!! Anyway, I had the camera in the back pocket of my jeans and when I pulled my britches down the camera fell into the toilet. Damn! Never one to be deterred, I scooped the camera out of the toilet and went to find Holly. We met up with Charlie for our photo op. I gave the camera to some guy in Charlie's crew to take our pic and explained it had just come from the toilet. He had a real funny look on his face while taking the picture. Charlie just laughed! Unfortunately, the pic didn't turn out.

On a related note, years before meeting Charlie I met the Dixie Chicks in OKC. They were on their "Fly" tour. At this time, Charlie and Emily were married. She was the last one in line and when I got to her all I could say was "I love your husband!"
She said, "I do, too."

Good-bye Virginia.

The day started off on a sad note.

One of our favorite little patients passed away yesterday. Almost 96 years young!

She's had chiropractic care since she was 10 years old!!!

Even married a Chiropractor.

Until recently she was still zooming around town and rocking
the leopard print spandex like nobody's business!!

She will be sorely missed but I'm grateful to have known her
and happy she's gone on to a better place.

'Til we meet again Virginia..............
