A surprise show with the American Idols (R)

The entertainment business can be interesting at times, you never know who you will meet or will be on stage. Last night was just such an occasion. I was asked to work a “classified” event for Net Jets. Classified meaning, I wasn’t told very much about it as I strictly had a time, location and what I was there to do – which was to keep the crowd entertained while they waited.

So I turn up at the Net Jets hangar at the airport (very cool party location) to find a line of 300-500 people I would guess. Upon introducing myself to someone official I was escorted beyond the lines and brought back stage where there were some others sitting around relaxing. I didn’t think to much of it, until I recognized one.

OK….I admit I watched the first couple seasons of American Idol, but certainly was not up to par on the most recent celebs. Then I looked back at one and realized….hey…is that the Sanjaya guy that people were making fun of? I still wasn’t sure.

I walked out to the main room of the party after preparing and sure enough, there was IDOL stuff everywhere. It turns out that Net Jets is the company that provides transportation to the idols on tour and prior to their concert here in Columbus they had arranged a special meet and greet opportunity for the employees of the company.

Now, I didn’t even know who won the thing this year (you can fault me for that later) but I did go back and get autographs, have a few laughs over some tricks that they liked and because the only name I knew was Sanjaya – I told him he was a ROCKSTAR! Sorry I didn’t have my camera…..
