BEST DAY EVER OH MY GOSH I MET LYLE LOVETT!!!!!!!!

I'm sort of freaking out over the whole thing.

He was right there. By the baggage claim. At the Denver airport. Like. a. normal. person.

Holy crap.

If I could have named THE person I'd like to meet before I die, it would have to be either him or Stephen King.

I just met Lyle Lovett.

He shook my hand.

KMoss spotted him first. I wasn't going to go over. I didn't want to be one of "those" people - who harass celebrities who are just trying to hang out and, I don't know, get their luggage. But then KMoss said ... "You love him. When will you ever get this chance again?"

I threw my bags down and booked it right on over there. The conversation went like this...

ME: "Hi... I don't want to bother you. But I love you. I really do. I love your music. You are so great."

HIM: "Thank you. You're very kind. What's your name?'

(we shake hands at this time)

ME: "K-K-K-K-Katie."

HIM: "Where are you from?"

(we are STILL HOLDING HANDS)

ME: "Ummm...." (I totally forgot where I lived. Serioiusly. I blanked.) "Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I saw you there last year. You were awesome."

HIM: "Thank you very much. You're very kind."

ME: "Bye."

Then I boogied.

I didn't stop shaking for an hour.

BEST DAY E-VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm freaking out..
