DSGB Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I left work to go pick up my daughter yesterday. I was driving downtown when I saw a black silverado with Realtree around the bottom and Realtree Roadtrips decals. I suspected it might be someone from Realtree, maybe even Micheal Waddell. There were three guys in the truck and I was behind them for a while. I pulled up next to them and it was Micheal! I waved to them and they waved back. We turned the corner by the Civic Center and he got behind me. I saw him turn in to the parking lot, so I followed him. They pulled up next to a line of tour buses. One of the guys went into the bus and Micheal came over to talk to me. I introduced myself and shook his hand. I started getting really nervous (I'm normally shy and quiet) and felt almost like I had buck fever. I apologized for being nervous and asked if I could get a picture. I took a picture of him with my phone and the other guy with him walked up. I got him to take a picture of Micheal and I, and Micheal introduced me to him. He said, "This is Craig Morgan." I couldn't believe it! I introduced myself and shook his hand. I wsa even more nervous then! I was so nervous that I closed my phone without saving the picture he took. I didn't realize it 'til after I left. I did get Micheal to sign a picture of himself for me. He was really nice and acted as though he had known me his whole life. He asked if I had got any deer yet and told me he was going up to Canada today to go hunting. He asked if I was coming to ther show (Craig Morgan and Mongomery Gentry) and talked more about hunting and how hot it's been here in Georgia. I talked with him for about 15 minutes. He's a real down-to-earth guy and even made a couple jokes. I should've asked him for some backstage passes or something, but I had to go pick up my daughter.

Guest Andrea Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Met Micheal Waddell yesterday! Holy cow. You are dang right...I would've said "No, I couldn't get any tickets to the show" and looked real pitiful. But hey...you got to meet Mike and Craig and that's good enough I guess. I woulda had a mini-stroke though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Met Micheal Waddell yesterday! Did you ask Micheal if he has taken any deer yet this year? Montgomery Gentry is just plain awesome in concert. They made it up here to PA a few yrs ago, it was awesome, I will def be trying to see them again they never get up this far hardly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outdoorgirl Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Met Micheal Waddell yesterday!

Guest Bowtecher Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Met Micheal Waddell yesterday! I was going to post a similar story, I got free tickets to the show last night and we got there late so we sat in the nearest available seats to ours. We ended up sitting right behind Michael and Ashley and the whole crew. MG got him up on stage to sing "My Town" near the end of the night. Unlike some professional athletes I've met, all the "celebrities" I've met through hunting have been honest, genuine people who love to talk, and the Michael is no different!
