So, I'm pretty sure you already new I was a real big nerd, but now I have taken my geekiness to a new level, by stalking a world famous violinist. The story goes like this: I was headed to Wal-Mart to look for a new hair straightener because mine broke, and on the way I saw that Andre Rieu's tour buses were parked in the parking lot of Panda Express. So I pulled in and chatted with some of the musicians for a while, and they told me that Andre himself was travelling in the buses with them and that he was somewhere eating. So I ran to the nearest gas station for a coke and sat in the parking lot until Andre came back to the bus, then I stood by my car and waved to him. He waved back! So I got a little closer but I didn't dare try to talk to him for fear of getting tackled by his security staff. So I went back to my car to get my camera. I took these pictures from a distance, then the guy from the orchestra I talked to waved me closer so I could get a picture of him from the front, but he got on the bus right then so I couldn't get a good shot, but it's still a pretty great story because I got within five feet of the world's most lovable orchestra leader! Thank goodness my flat iron broke!
(The top picture is from one of his concerts so you can see what he looks like from the front)
