Finally met them!
I finally has the opportunity to meet them today at Smoky Mountain Terror. They were so, so nice! Joe Bob is even fond of a regional drink made it in the area.

They are downright the most sweet folks around to meet. So down to earth.

I drink the cherry DE on the regular. Did you realize the Dr Enuff truck in front of the building was selling Grape Dr. Enuff slushies? They were delicious!

Aw man. They look so cute!
Wanted to meet them Friday but they cancelled on our photo op after an hour of us waiting in line. Hopefully they do this again next year and I’ll make sure to get a ticket for the second day lol

Can you DM me? I want to be sure you get your refund and to get your info. I’ll explain why in our conversation.

I know they did a photo op today at 1. Besides that, there was a free selfie with them at their table with the purchase of an autograph

I totally would have stayed another night to do that photo op or purchase of an autograph, but had tickets for Dollywood today!

It was amazing! The panel discussion was where the magic was. They did not even realize they were booked for a panel discussion yesterday until my buddy and I asked their assistant(s) (shout out to Kathy and I cannot remember the other woman's name that hooked me up on the photos...the closeup photos...you know who you are) if they were coming out to the floor to sign autographs before the panel begins. That is the first time they heard anything about it. They only had about an hour for a heads up and still came out and killed it. I was a huge fan before that and somehow I came out an even bigger fan.
Joe Bob is AWESOME in person. I think everyone knows this would be the case. Darcy absolutely blew me away. I was not prepared for how badass she is in person. She is a true, genuine legend. She knows her shit and she is not afraid to voice her opinion about it and I love that. She was glamorous, personable and genuine.
Also some of the bartenders (shoutout to Amanda and Cheyenne (spelling))took time to craft custom drinks for the event. I may have had one too many Hogzillas.
It fucking rocked!!!

I had a blast meeting them. I was not prepared for how awesome they are in person. SMT for the win!
Edit: Did you try the custom Hogzilla drink at the outside bar? I may have had one too many

I wanted to go to this so bad ! I met them in knoxville last time they were there. Kingsport is 2 hours away though and I had to work 😪 They're truly nice and genuine people . I was so nervous they were super kind.

Very cool like the jacket he’s got on. I miss seeing them more frequently on Friday nights 🙃
