The Wilkinsons When we got to Sidney it was pouring rain so I got
drenched in it running in to ask directions to the fairgrounds, but
oh well. Got there Saw Tyler sitting with his Grandma and 2 little kids
(his cousins, we found out) and talked to them for maybe ten minutes.
Had Tyler sign his dad's B-Day Card (since I know you're going to
ask what he wrote it was "Have a good one." - Your cool
and best son, Tyler W.). He was reading all the messages on the card
and talking to me. I'm not going to go listing every single thing
said but something you gurls might like to know that he told me that
Steve does NOT like being called Mister. He was laughing because a
few messages had Mr. Wilkinson or Mr. Steve. Lauren or Kati asked
Tyler about the little kids and he said their names were Hannah and
Bailey Came back and got DT to sign Steveâ€s card. Did you know he's only 3 days younger than Steve? His Birthday is August 21st so be sure to wish him a good one if you see him around then. The Wilkinsons came out and sang 2 songs and then went off (Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend and 1 other one, I think it might have been "I Had a Dream"? but I don't remember). It was fun to watch though. I got a few of the bandmates to sign the card too (Mark Easterling was one I believe). After that went back to talking to everyone. The final member of our crew, Gary showed up and joined us. Then my parents showed up and I went to go find some supper. By the time we got back it was almost showtime so just sat and waited. At 8 the announcer came on Mariah, Brandi, Gary, me, Lauren, Kati, Sarah, and Corey all ran up to the stage. It was cool cuz the guy talked about the fan club meet and greet and he goes "I know we have some fans here" and he listed places and the first place he said was "Minnesota"! I think that was the farthest place...there was a Michigan but that's pretty close to Ohio, same with Indiana. Yeah I know I'm nuts. Tyler, Amanda, and Steve ran out and started singing "I Had a Dream". For those of you wondering Tyler was wearing a blue flame shirt and blue pants, Amanda red pants and a black glitter tank top, Steve blue jeans and a Hawaiin shirt. Then they sang "Outside Providence", 2 others, and then "Don't I Have a Heart". I got good pics of Tyler during that since he actually abandoned his mike stand. They sang "One of These Days", it was great! When Jimmy started we all ran up to the front. That was fun! I was touching the stage by Tyler's mike. They were supposed to do an encore so we waited but then the band started tearing down so I guess they ran over time or something. Mark Easterling came over and gave me the set list, so that was cool :0) Got in line with Sarah, Ethan, and Gary at the beginning
of the fan club line. The Wilkinsons saw Sarah's laminate right away
and asked about it so she was telling them about the Word hehe. When
it was my turn I handed Steve his Birthday Card. I told him Tyler
and Amanda had signed it and he looked at them. Steve thanked me and
said he'd read it on the bus. He took my picture to sign and asked
where it was taken. I said Lima, and that it was the one he said not
to put on my site and he goes "So you put it on there?"
or something like that joking and I go "I'm sorry". I talked
to Tyler about a song Michelle and I wrote, and Amanda about the album.
She asked about getting it online or something and I told her the
address in the newsletter was wrong...it was cute because she said
"Oh no!" I My mom was already in the public line, at the end
when I joined her. Gary, his mom and siblings joined us and we were
all talking waiting On our way out I saw Grandma so I showed her and the cousin's my pics. She said Tyler was trying something with his hair (back when it was long). Talked to her for a few minutes, and headed back to my uncle's. It was yet another great show and I can't wait for the next!
