While we were at the Razorback game, I was told that there was a certain Arkansas celebrity in our section. I looked down, and there he was. Guesses? Here's a distance shot.
It's Kris Allen!
So, after much convincing (much!), I told Matt we would see after half-time about getting a photo. Of course, by the time we got back to the stands, it was nearly time for the 2nd half to start. Matt will tell you there was like 3 minutes left. I will tell you that the crowd was seated, fired up and all eyes were on the field. So Matt yells "Hey, Kris. Can we get a picture?" Poor guy, just trying to enjoy the game. I literally was squatting on a bench a few rows back because I was so humiliated. It's not like we were the only ones asking for a picture, but I felt like it was something either drunks or 10 year olds did. But Kris just nodded like it was no big deal and came to shake my hand. Did I tell you I was embarrassed? I think I told him that and then said "you know my friend, Chassity Jordan!" I mean, I thought we would bond over having a mutual friend. He just nodded. Nothing. (Chassity, have you been lying to me all this time???) So blog fans...a drum roll please....
One shot. That's all I got. Matt was literally shaking like he had Parkinson's or something. I can't believe the photo isn't blurry. He will tell you it was from beer and then holding the camera (our small camera at that) up. I will tell you that he was just as nervous.
And of course, one of Kris' friends jumps in the photo. I had no clue. It wasn't like I could ask to look at the photo and tell him that it looks like I have a double chin, could we try again! They told us to buy his new album. Matt said something corny like "Hey man, I watched you on American Idol" (No, I'm not making that up!). Oh, it was memory. All for you!
Note: We noticed as we were leaving after the game that many fans chose to ask for a picture after the game. How lame!
Update:
* Matt would like for me to add that he had the camera in his right hand and nachos and a drink in the other, thus the shaking. Oops, I forgot that detail. I wasn't thinking about him!
* My friend Chassity has since sent Kris a text giving him crap about scoffing at her name. Maybe Kris will now be a blog follower...ha! I bet he is talking about me on Twitter right now.
* Chassity also noted that the guy in the background of the photo is Kris' brother. That's what the dude told me, but I sure didn't believe him.
