Reason #126 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

JT’s newest movie, “In Time,” started in theatres 10/28. I had plans to see it that night, but between getting sick and dealing with snow in October, I didn’t get to go this weekend. Now I have to wait until THIS Friday (11/4) and it’s killing me! (See Reasons #69, 86 & 96)

I’ll get to see JT on the big screen in 4 days.. but that’s 7 days later than I planned!

Reason #125 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

Reason #125 why I should meet JT on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: I needed the perfect, JT-inspired outfit to wear to the JT & Friends concert in Vegas. A fedora and my William Rast shirt was just the thing! (See Reason #s 17 & 114)

I’d like to think JT would have approved of my concert outfit. 

Reason #124 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

I threw all my change into the fountain at the Miracle Mile in Vegas, since the money goes to Shriners Hospitals for Children this month (JT’s golf tournament & concert sponsored Shriners!).

I appreciate that JT supports a good cause, like raising money for Shriners.

Reason #123 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

Reason #123 why I should meet JT on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: In Vegas, I taught a bartender about all about JT’s tequila, 901. He asked if we could get 901 near where I’m from, so I told him we make trips to CT to pick it up (See Reason #5). When he asked, “What’s next, 902 Tequila?” I explained that 901 is the Memphis area code (JT’s hometown). He had no idea!

I knew more about JT’s tequila than a Vegas bartender… but I was more than happy to tell him ALL about 901!

Reason #122 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

In true Vegas tradition (See Reason #112), I roamed the halls of Planet Hollywood in search of JT. I figured he’d be on the 51st floor, which you supposedly need a key to get to, but we got up there anyway! But sadly, there were no JT sightings.

Since JT was performing at Planet Hollywood, I hoped he was staying there, too –
maybe one of these halls or doors led to his suite!

Reason #121 why I should meet JT on The Ellen Show:

We dubbed the night before we left for our Vegas trip “Vegas Eve.” My sister wrote up a poem that parodies The Night Before Christmas all about our trip and JT! (“The wolf pack” is a nickname for our group of Vegas-loving friends.)

We were SO excited about our Vegas trip for the JT & Friends concert. It felt like Christmas Eve!
