Last night, we "got-r-done!"Larry The Cable Guy was in concert at The Center in Springfield. We asked for pictures and autographs as he exited his tour bus to enter The Center about 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately, he was carrying his young son and politely declined. So, we ducked inside with our "complimentary" tickets to enjoy the show. Near the last half of the show, we decided to move up front to take some pictures, and much to our delight, found two seats, dead center, in the first row. We enjoyed the remainder of the show from that spot. Larry even gave a mention to the Nebraska cap my friend, Mark, was sporting. As the show ended, Larry came to the front of the stage to shake hands. We asked for autographs, but he directed us to the end of the stage where he said he'd take care of us. A few minutes later, his tour manager emerged and took our items backstage for Larry to sign. After the items were returned, we headed outside to wait for an opportunity to get a photograph. About 45 minutes later, Larry emerged with the wife and kid and made his way towards his bus. We asked for a photograph and he agreed to come back after dropping off his bag on the bus. Sure enough, about two minutes later, he popped off the bus and came directly over to us. He thanked us several times for being such great fans and for attending the show. He posed for us and for two other fans and also signed a few more autographs . . . all the while managing to slip in at least three or four of his trademark "Git-r-dones."
