Make sure to read part 1 of this story before reading the conclusion!
“What concert might that be?” asked Kristi, and she received a kick under the table from Mac.
“Kristi Smiley is in town,” replied the waitress. “What a great voice – and she also does a lot of charity work. Just a great person. I’d love to go the to the concert,” she said with a sigh.
“Why aren’t you going?” asked Kristi.
“I just can’t afford the tickets. Hey, enough about me. I’ll grab your drinks and give you a few moments to look over the menus.”
Kristi studied the menu intently. She was trying to remember the calories for each ingredient, in an effort to maximize the calories in her pizza. She put on a high energy show every night and burned calories at an incredible rate.
Sarah, the waitress, returned with their drinks, and Mac and Kristi were ready to order. Mac ordered some sort of abomination with all sorts of green crap on it. Kristi ordered a thin crust pizza with hamburger, Canadian bacon, sausage, and bacon.
“Geez, Kristi,” Mac exclaimed. “That stuff is going to kill you some day.”
“Take it easy, Mac. I’m getting a salad, so it basically cancels out.”
Mac rolled his eyes and sipped his pop.
Sarah was back in a few minutes, carrying their salads. Mac ate his salad dry, while Kristi smothered hers in a lake of French dressing. Mac gave her a dirty look, which Kristi pretended not to notice.
The pizza was extremely hot when it arrived, and Kristi singed the roof of her mouth when while trying to inhale the first piece.
“Slow down, girl,” Mac warned. “Protect those vocal cords.”
Kristi ignored him again and focused on enjoying the pizza. The meats and cheese blended together to produce a culinary symphony in her mouth. It was great to be in the midwest, where people really understood how to make a great pizza.
The ever-attentive waitress topped off their beverages as slow poke Mac was finishing up his veggie pizza.
“Can I get you folks anything else?” asked Sarah.
“Just the check,” replied Mac.
When they were ready to leave, Mac caught Sarah as she was passing the table.
“It looks like a couple people in our group aren’t going to be able to make it, so we have a couple extra tickets to the concert. We’d like you to have them,” he said, as he handed her an envelope along with the money for their meal.
Sarah was stunned speechless by the gift, and Kristi and Mac quickly left the restaurant to avoid attracting more attention.
Later that night, Kristi was preparing for the show back stage and saw Sarah being introduced to some of the other musicians. Kristi walked up to the group and introduced herself.
“Oh my God,” exclaimed Sarah. “It’s you – the girl from the restaurant. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize your voice at the time.”
“Mac,” said Kristi, “this poor girl has been on her feet all day. See if you can find her a chair.”
Mac managed to find a tall, three legged stool, which he set up on the side of the stage. This became the lofty perch from which the most popular waitress in town watched the first – and most memorable – concert of her life.

Hopefully some of the stars are.
As for the entourage, I have firsthand positive experience from back in the days when I ran a popular fan site
