It's ok. Part of the reason I'm doing this blog is because I can take rejection. I mean, it was probably my timing. When I tweeted Brandon, he was in the middle of a game against the Brewers. It probably got mixed in with other tweets...from other girls...
Maybe he did read it....I knew I shouldn't have mentioned the roller skating dream. That was weird...
Or the head in the oven joke--He's probably heard that one a million times.
No, but really it was just bad timing....
Two weeks ago the MLB Home Run Derby and All Star Game came to Phoenix. I wasn't able to go to either because of work obligations, but I went out with a group of friends after each to see who we could see (and, of course, by that I mean baseball players).
We didn't run into any baseball players that night, unfortunately. But our efforts were not made in vain because I learned the best way to get the attention of a famous country music singer:
You ask him if he's part of his own band.
That's right, we ran into Jason Aldean and crew that night. (Don't know who he is? Don't worry, I didn't either.) My good friend caught wind that the guys next to us were part of Jason Aldean's band. She, not afraid to ask, turns to the first person she sees and asks him, "Are you in Jason Aldean's band?" Only she didn't know at that moment she was talking to Jason Aldean.
After giving her hell for a few minutes, he introduced himself to the rest of us and we hung out with him and his crew for a good part of the night. He got his fair share of humility that night, even after the initial conversation. Only two of our group of seven knew who he was before the night began. One of my other friends asked him to watch his language. He bought her two shots.
A few lessons I learned that night:
1) Baseball players still go out in Scottsdale even if the game is downtown. (A tidbit we learned from another friend we met that night).
2) Pretend you don't know a famous person even if you really do.
3) The crew can be just as cool if not cooler than the lead guy.
I'm still on the hunt to meet some baseball players, but at least I've met some cool people along the way.
