#haileyreinhart getting my sweet hard working hubby an autograph
.... I had no idea he was married

I thought he was young, maybe 19? 20?
Haley had exited via this door a couple times during the concert, so as soon as her set ended, I left the venue to go see if I can catch her. The door was 'stage right' (
stage right means, to your right if you were on stage). I turned the corner where I encountereed, maybe 40 people in a semi circle around the door with a path bisecting it for the artists to enter and exit the bar. There was a guy at the door as security. As we waited, I noticed this young man was waiting w/ a woman, I thought might have been an older sister. In his hand, he had the picture booklet, autographed, the one we got when we pre-ordered "Listen Up!" with pics of Haley, immediately identifying him as an #OGHalien.
I overheard the lady say to him, I didn't even bring anything for her to sign. He took a page from the picture book, removed it and gave it to her.
I pointed at the book and said, "so you're here to see Haley?" He said, "Oh yes, I've been a fan for a long time, but this is the first time I've heard her sing live but couldn't get in, so I'm hoping I'll be able to meet her"
I told him I knew he was a Haley fan by the picture book, told him about my Youtube, which he recognised. I told him that I had video'd the show, that I too was hoping to see her after the show. We could see her inside walking out and back into a room next to the bar where VIP, artists, guests and contest winners were, but we waited for her to come out
As I was contnuing the small talk with him about Haley, I noticed that Ken and ISCAT were talking with her...

Earlier, I had messaged her that hopefully we could see her because ISCAT and Ken had some things for her.
I went to talk to the securtiy, can't remember what I said to him, but I saw Ken point towards me, the security motioned to Haley, if I was OK to come in? Haley smiled, nodded and motioned me to come in.
Ken and ISCAT were talking w/ Haley, I couldn't really catch what was being said because they were near a speaker, the ambient bar noise was loud any way. Behind Ken and ISCAT were people also hoping to get Haley's attention. I waited behind Haley as she complied w/ requests for photos and autographs. In the mean time, I saw the young man outside, he seemed shy, behind the crowd, looking in at what was going on inside. I nodded to him, pointed to him then Haley, I was letting him know I'd try and get him his meeting.
Eventually, the event people had to set up for the next act, so had to clear the path separating the crowd from Haley, after which she turned around, said Hi and gave a hug. I told her that she did great, I had a good time, then I told her about the young man waiting outside, and pointed to him. Seeing me motion to him, he had a big smile as he approached and Haley met him at the door. I offered to hold Haley's drink while she signed his booklet and the page for his friend. He must have come w/ a couple people because he posed w/ Haley for different people
(now that I think of it, maybe the other person was an event photographer?). He said a few words to Haley, and thanked Haley and me as he left with his friends
Other people began to ask for pictures and autographs from Haley, one guy asked her to autograph his phone. That's when I took the photo that I tweeted...
She was there for a little while longer as the requests kept coming in for photos and autographs. Eventually, the security cut it off, and Haley and I went inside. I apologized that she had to spend extra time w/ autographs & pics because I asked her to go see the young fan. She said it was no bother at all

. Did I mention Haley had this big easy smile the whole time? (Like in Ken's Photo of Haley I used as the video thumbnail for CHFIL)
I talked to her for a few minutes, She'd already spent alot of times w/ fans, I didn't want to take too much more of her time, told her what I needed to, told her she was great again, and that I was looking forward to seeing her in Chicago.
I then made my way back into the main area of the venue where I met up again w/ Ken and ISCAT. The last two acts were the most anticipated, Blue October an DNCE But by that time we had spent 6-7 hours standing, we were ready to go get some food and sit down, so we left. The whole thing was a great time. People were incredibly friendly and sociable, there was excitment and positivity in the air. I hear they did really great sets, but there are worse ways to end a long day of music than to spend a few minutes w/ Haley.
