Back Stage with Sawyer Brown

Everybody, I'm sure, has an acquaintance that likes to brag about a person they know, that knows someone important. You know, "Name droppers." Even though I don't normally consider myself a "Name dropper," I do happen to know someone who knows someone. Hahaha.

Tara, my fellow golden girl (lol), is married to Jason, or Moose, who happens to be friends with a few famous entertainers. Among those is Mark Miller, the lead singer for Sawyer Brown. Moose and Mark go way back. So when their bus rolled into town Tara invited Jeremy and I to hang with them at the concert. No problem, other than talking my date into going to a country concert. Good thing he loves me. Not only were the tickets free, as a guest of Moose, but they are probably the best tickets at the sold out Sandy Amphitheater. Here's a picture of Tara and Jason at the concert.

The fun didn't end with VIP tickets. Nope, we got VIP parking backstage. Then, on our way into the concert we ran into Mark himself. He always puts on a good show. Mark Miller is a fabulous entertainer! Tara and I danced and sang to the music while Sawyer Brown rocked the house. It was so much fun.

I kid you not, we were an audience in need of a little sun. Jeremy was almost alone in representing the minorities of Utah. Good thing Rox was there (another "someone" Moose knows, who happens to be Asian). But fun is fun... Jeremy said he really had a good time. It's hard not to when the entertainment is so amazing. Here's a funny picture of Mark in action.

After the show we went back to the bus where Moose hung out with Mark and the rest of us mingled in the rain. Jason reported that Mark didn't feel well, with a headache. The few fans with back stage passes were disappointed that Mark didn't want to come out for photo ops with crazy fans, one of whom named her son after their band (cu cu). Jason asked him if he would be willing to meet some of his friends who were fans (me!). Here 's the picture I got of Mark Miller and I, thanks Jason!

I am now that person who brags about knowing someone who knows someone. It was worth it. I got a picture with Mark and an autographed picture of the band! Thanks Tara and Jason for the night out! It's been a long time since we stayed up that late (hahaha).
