Thanks guys.
I've got another one below. The comment at the end isn't hilarious or anything, but when I was at my witt's ends and nervous, it was quite funny to me at hte time!
I just remembered another event from the same event as the Lou Gramm one I mentioned before. This was on another night, and was actually on a second stage that was located in a park, Kimberley Locke from American Idol was performing. The stage was on the top of the hill, and we were allowed to get as close to it as possible without actually going on it. I can't remember the lens I had on, probably the 28-135 (It was a friend's lens that I was trying out for fun). Anyways, I'm happily taking pictures up on this hill, lying down, surrounded by 50 ten year old girls with their P&Ss and Cell Phone's out. It's getting darker, and all of a sudden, I get pushed to the side. Next to me is this very large man, also lying down, extremely sweaty, and clutching a photo of Kimberley Locke.
He kept on yelling stuff out to her... "Kimberley! Kimberley! I love you! Are you from Tennessee? Are you proud to be from there? Did you know Whitney Houston..." and on and on. At one point, Kimberley and him actually had a short conversation back and forth, the entire time I could tell she was rather nervous and wondering where the heck security was (there wasn't a single one around). I got a couple good shots of her nerves if I recall, but I wasn't shooting that much during this. I was getting concerned too, and realized that if he rushed the stage, I was probably the only guy around large enough to subdue him before he got to Locke.
Eventually, however, the music started up again, and he returned to shaking on the ground starring up at her. At one point, however, he leans over to me and says "I bet you got a good picture of her. (As I picture him stealing my camera). Think you could send me one?" I said sure, but never did. (I usually do, but...this seemed a special case).
Thanks guys.
