Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - autographed album and song book!

Michelle and her hubby Russ went to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in Wendover on December 11th 2009. Throughout the concert, the band was having technical difficulties with their equipment, and so by the end they were kind of cranky. Michelle and Russ waited afterward to buy their new album and get it autographed, and Michelle didn't think it was very good timing to ask for their water bottles, so she just got the autographs! While in Wendover at an Arby's after the concert, they ran into a Samuel L Jackson look-a-like!!!!

Water Bottle - Lucinda The Gardner Village Witch

You may have seen Lucinda The Gardner Village Witch on billboards around town, on many television shows such as 2 News This Morning and others; or maybe you had the chance to meet her in person at many Gardner Village events such as Wee Witches Weekend, Breakfast With A Witch, Ride To A Witch, Witches Night Out, and many others! Not only were we lucky to get her watter bottle from her at Wee Witches Weekend, she autographed it for us and drew a picture of her pet spider! To thank her for contributing to our fine museum, find "Lucinda The Gardner Village Witch" on facebook and become a fan of hers!

Also, we have added "Fireflies" by Owl City and "Witches Brew" by Hap Palmer to our playlist to welcome Lucinda to our museum!

Drummer's Drumstick - Rx Bandits Concert 8/12/2009

Russ, Michelle's husband, went to the Rx Bandits concert. During a song, the drummer threw out his drumsticks and hit Russ in the head, thus adding to our collection museum!

Guitarist's Pic - Collective Soul Concert 9/12/2009

On Sat. September 12th 2009 Katie went to the Collective Soul concert in Wendover, NV.

"We had second row seats, so I was convinced that I they could hear me yelling at them and all I'd have to do is scream "hey, give me your water bottle" and it would work, but it didn't. So after the show they came up to the front of the stage and were shaking hands so I got to shake hands with Cheney (the drummer) and Dean (one of the guitarists). Then they started throwing their guitar pics into the audience and I got one from Will (the bass player). I was so excited because I didn't want to let you down. I didn't think you would talk to me anymore if I came home empty handed. lol"

Guitarist's Water Bottle - John Anderson Concert 8/14/2009

Michelle went with her family to the John Anderson concert in Wendover, NV. She was going to try to get John Anderson's cowboy hat, but when the concert was over and she still didn't have his hat, she saw the guitarist up front talking to a group of people. Then, she spotted it: he was holding a water bottle! So she went up front and asked him if she could have his water bottle. He said "You want what?" and gave it to her.

Donnie Wahlberg Water Bottle - NKOTB Concert 11/15/2008

On Saturday, November 15th 2008, Katie and Michelle went to the New Kids On The Block concert.

A while into the concert they sang "If You Go Away". Towards the end of the song, the lights went a little darker, and a slideshow started of all of the people in the entertainment industry that have been "lost": Heath Ledger, Left Eye, Biggie, Tupac, Danny's mom, Luther Vandross, James Brown, etc. When it was almost over, a spotlight flashed onto a circle platform with a piano almost directly in front of us, then it turned off really quickly. Michelle said "Katie, what's going on?" She said, "Oh, I saw this on YouTube. They come out on that stage and sing with the piano." I looked right next to us, and there was an entrance. I said "Uh, Katie, they're going to come out of there! If they walk from the big stage, they'll walk through the crowd and get torn apart!" So we look over the railing, and there's Danny Wood, just standing there! NOBODY ELSE NOTICED!!!!! I got a quick picture of him. I start SCREAMING, holding my hand out, and Donnie comes walking out!!! He looks at us, reaches his hand up to touch ours, and next thing I know he's handing us his WATER BOTTLE!! We take it from him, then the "not very nice girls" behind us try to grab it. We both held on for dear life, and right before we had to start digging our nails into the girls' arms, they let go. That was a fight we were NOT going to lose! HE GAVE US HIS HALF DRANK WATER BOTTLE!!!!!!!!! WooHoo! It was SO SO awesome!!!!! We will forever have Donnie's saliva and DNA! Hahaha! :)

Notice the water bottle has orange tape on it. The stage crew for their concerts color code all of their water bottles, microphones, etc. I guess Donnie's color is orange.
