Last night I went over to Michelle's house to go rollerblading with her dog.  We barely get down the road to this light to cross the street and I start going with . . . Read More..

So tonight I went to a Chimes Movie night to go and see "Live Free or Die Hard" and my buddy Andy points out that Sean Casey from the Detroit Tigers and his family are up at the front booth buying movie tickets.

Andy takes a photo of his back and I call up Susan to tell he who I saw. 

I see him hand his tickets to the guy and he has a bunch of twenties he is putting away.  Of course he pays with hundreds.  He's Sean Casey!  He also went straight to the theater after ball practice to be with his family.  What a guy!

I go down to theater 14 where we were seated and I realize I have to go to the bathroom.

As I am walking down, Sean Casey is standing in line getting loads of popcorn and drinks for his family.

He leaves them at the counter and goes to the bathroom too.  As I am drying my hands he is drying his as well.

"So whatchu seeing tonight?" I ask.  We look at each other.

"Fantastic 4 and you?" Casey Replies.  "The New Die Hard.." I tell him.

We walk out and I follow him to his food. 

"So guess what, my Fiance is really mad that she missed seeing Inge as a Barista out in Ann Arbor yesterday..."  I explain.  "There was another player serving coffee too."  Darn it ... I cant even remember McCullens name!  I mean....Guillen!  Long story short... I thought I saw a guy named McCullen on the field when Susan was asking me who was at base ...  and she will always make fun of me now for it.

"What's a barista?" Casey Replies.  I thought this reply was totally a guy response... most guys dont pay attention to that kind of crap.

"Its like a starbucks."

We start walking toward our theaters and talk about how Die hard wouldnt be ideal for his family to go see.

The whole conversation was the most magical thing in the world cause I have never really talked to someone who is a major celebrity.

Sean Casey was the nicest most energetic person I can ever imagine.  You can tell he is just very humble, smart, proud and hard working.

I love the Tigers and any other MLB organization that really love their communities like the Tigers do.

I finish off our conversation with "I will see you in a few weeks at the game..."

I call up Susan again to brag.  I also surprise my work friends with who I just got done talking with.

Only I will randomly talk to celebs without even being nervous.  I wish I had a memorycrawler business card and would have thought to give it to him.

I love you Casey!  You are now my tiger!  Now we are pals!

So my company was soo cool and decided to celebrate becoming a new company by flying and inviting everyone out to Las Vegas for a fun filled weekend.

And they went all out. The flew us out there, gave us some new company swag, 50 dollars in gambling money, a hotel for two nights and an extravagant dinner.

So I get to Erica's house on friday and we drive to the airport. I hang with a few work friends at the airport for a few hours until boarding. matt V. missed his first flight and somehow we thought that others as well were going to miss the flight. But somehow everyone made it.

When we landed, Drew called and told me he would pick me up. So I waited for him to pick me up and we attempt to drive to Bellagio so I could check in, bu the traffic was kind of bad and we also veered away from the strip because we had food on our mind and were attempting to find the In-And-Out burger he thought was off of Tropicana. We didnt find it, so we just settled for Jimmy Johns. Drew had a . . . Read More..

Wow time flies...

Back in 2004 I met two of my best friends Noel and Beth Stalker at Kensington Community Church. I was volunteering as a lighting director Noel and Beth were hanging out back stage. Soon we became friends Beth was working on her album "Here With You" at the time. Later that year we all worked together on the music video for the song "Here With You" as we would all hang out a gigs and open mic nights we began to share life together, the ups and downs. Many people say that lasting friendship is hard to come by, even though I have move out of state we remain great friends. Through common bonds of faith, volunteering and Sloppy Joe Sandwiches. Noel asked for my help and I became the first official roadie when at Beth's release concert. Later Noel asked for my help with bethstalker.com. I am thankful for these friends and many good memories.

I remember being on the Gemini at Cedar point when I was a kid.

"The Gemini" is a wooden roller coaster that has two tracks and two trains that kind of race each other.

The most interesting thing that ever happened on there was some drunk guys were yelling "Great Taste, Less Filling" from the miller light commercial and they got both cars to yell back and forth the whole time.  It was pretty sweet.

Another memory I have on that ride was the time where I went continuously on it about 7 times in a row because there was no line.

I almost puked after the seventh time and got the watery mouth symptom.

This ride is a great ride... the coolest thing about it is the fact that when you go down on the first hill, and are holding your hands up, you can get freaked out cause it looks like you are going to whack a wooden over pass with your head.

What a great ride... cant wait to ride it this summer with my tickets I bought recently.
