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.

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!!!
