Hey, I met someone sorta famous



This past weekend we went to Loftfest, a celebration of 20 years of (our good buddy) Andy Patalan's recording studio. There were about 20 bands there on three stages throughout the night; we enjoyed several of them. But the most hilarious part of our evening was dinner beforehand, on the patio of this bar in Pontiac, where we met Bob Guiney (AKA, Bob the Bachelor from the show "The Bachelor") and hung out with our friend Terri Neely too.

Andy plays in Bob's band (the Bob Guiney Band, formerly called Fat Amy) so naturally Bob's band played at the show. The band was OK, mostly because Bob can only sing OK. Of course the guitar players were awesome. :)

So anyhoo, Bob was a really down to earth guy, quite charming and funny, and better looking than I remembered (yes, I watched the show he was on...). He brought his BIL and cousin with him to the show, and the three of them were telling stories on each other, mostly about vacations they had taken together. I wish I had a picture of the three of them because they were certainly a motley crew. But the funniest part of meeting him was that I had seen him on "The View" a few days before and I told my mom I was going to meet him. Here's the proof!
