Doin' the Shimmy Shake in my boots

[BadHorsie]

You know, I've always thought it was funny when people faint or get nervous when they meet someone famous. But something pretty funny happened to me the other day. I remember it well (probably because it was yesterday), I was waiting for the Guitarmageddon competition to begin when I suddenly saw him walking up the stairs right towards me. "Who was it BadHorsie? Who was this mystical man you are telling us of,". Well I'll tell you if you're going to twist my leg about it, GEEZ! This man I am telling you about is... the one and only Steve Vai! Yes, that's right, Steve Vai! Somehow, someway, all I could think of to say was, "Wow! Steve Vai! You're my favorite guitarist! It's so nice to meet you,". For the rest of the show I sat behing Steve, Randy Rhodes mom, and Paul Gilbert. I kinda felt like an idiot for not having anything better to say, but I figured he probably gets a lot of stupid comments and would end up getting pretty annoyed with small talk. Anybody else had this happen? Please tell me if you have so I don't feel like an a$$. And if it hasn't happened to you, feel free to make up a story http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif .

One day I met BadHorsie! I was really nervous, but he finally gave me his autograph after I made a motion to my inside jacket pocket. He told me to "get lost, you freak!" WOW! I got called a freak by BadHorsie!!!!!!

I know all of you are jealous. Don't worry, I got his address from the internet, if you want to visit him, I'll post it.

ok, i'm not really the eggman

Listen eggman! You already got your picture taken with me a billion times, why don't you let all my other fans have a turn http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif . No, seriously though, Guitarmaggedon is a guitar competition sponsored mainly by VH1, Fender, and Guitar Center. I was only at regionals when I saw Vai and them, so I can only imagine who will be at states and nationals http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/eek.gif .

I haven't been in the presence of famous people yet, well I have, but he was just a local news ancor, and I had to help him fix his lawn mower...

But I suppose if I'm ever in the presence of a really famous person, I'll do something stupid too. In the mean time, I'm avoiding that paticular situation.

I'm surprised I never heard of Guitarmageddon.
