Photo with Mr. Memory immediately following the show

Katie: “He complained that the poster was not big enough.”

Bobbie: “And he didn’t like the hotel suite. Or the bottle of Macallan 12. He said the contract specified 20. Really? Taylor settled for Maker’s Mark.”

Katie: “After the rehearsal, when I showed him his dressing room, he brushed my butt with his hand.”

Bobbie: “Did you give him the bathroom code?”

Katie: “Eight numbers. He said, easy, and threw the paper away.”

Bobbie: “Let’s change the password during his show.”

Katie: “And make sure he has two bottles of water.”

“Gotcha!”
