It was in a tweet from 19.
I didn't look closely enough -- it's not open to all, cheap bastards.

I had to stop myself from spending, minimum $500 to fly down to Vegas to see her at that pet a thon thing. She is performing as well as others so would probably do 3 songs max. I also figured that is my best chance of actually meeting her before she got huge and unreachable.
I figured the $500 would be better used for REALLY good seating at a show when it comes up nearby. For a whole show with good seating, seemed like a better use of the money than to go see a few songs at some pet carnival

That was definitely the right decision.
I've never been to East Texas but I drove there for the complimentary performance at the radio station. I'm so used to driving between major Texas cities on highways that expand to great widths near your destination that I was a bit shocked when I had to get off the highway and drive on a two-lane road through a remote area for half an hour to get to Tyler.
While I participated in the activities (autograph signing/picture taking) there, I regret I didn't speak to Haley beyond saying "Hello" and "Thank you." I doubt I will have the opportunity to meet her again.

Yes, but our dear Miguel, you also attended another event that you sort of (online) fretted about that yielded for you the opportunity to tape and then provide online the first upload of "HTGR."

I doubt it will be the last time, that you got the 'haleyfans.com' url and that you have contributed to her growing fandom might help.
Besides, "Mr. Questioner", she dubbed you...and only you have that LOL
I can imagine being terribly nervous on what to say, don't want to come of as creepy, but just a very proud fan

I'm too old to propose marriage like the young man did, so I wasn't nervous, but I didn't want to come off as creepy. She addressed me as Mr. Questioner when I approached for the autograph. I couldn't make out what else she said so I was at a loss as to how to respond.

I bought the ticket for the show at the House of Blues in Dallas before I was informed I had the chance to see her in Tyler. Once I knew I could see her for free, and even after seeing her in Tyler, I regretted spending the money on the House of Blues show since it was not a full show. But I enjoyed the view from the first row of the balcony and once she debuted "Hit the Ground Runnin'" I knew I had something special and returned home to upload it ASAP.

You did (do) have something special. It is your video that introduced the world to HTGR. Hey, I just got the screen cap below from http://www.haleyreinhart.com/ . And you obviously made an impression on Haley, Mr. Questioner. These things might not be earth shattering but you have a bunch of little hooks there, oh and that Haleyfans.com domain name.
I'm figuring that many of us are gonna feel a little jealous, maybe neglected, in a few months as Haley's fanbase explodes and we become part of that multitude.

Yep, already happening with her people ramping up the follows of fans of other artists. There has been a bit of a backlash against that, so "Haley" followed a bunch of Haliens for Follow Friday. She also tweeted, "Just wanna say hi to all of my #haliens - love you all and hopefully I'll see you soon!"
I put Haley in quotes because I noticed only a few of the Haliens she followed had less than a hundred followers. A random sample of non-Haliens that are followed showed they all had more than a hundred followers. So there's a method to the madness.

I didn't know it at the time, but I lucked out on that. It had been registered since 2001 prior to it expiring and my registering it.
