ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ)Were used to seeing First Lady Michelle Obama at a podium addressing crowds, but even she needs a girls night out once in a while. This weekend she chose a small venue in Annapolis to let her hair down.
The first lady and three of her girlfriends attended a concert at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis.
The staff there says they had no idea she was coming up until right before the show!
Sunday night started off pretty normal for Zach Price. As general manager of Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis, he was getting things ready for a show featuring contemporary jazz singer Rachelle Ferrell.
Then he got an unexpected visitor, a woman representing an important client.
At that point she didnt tell me who she was with. She just said we had a VIP tonight. My security stepped out back, Price said.
Price didnt ask many questions about who the VIP was.
And as security did their walk throughs, checking all the exits, Price made a comment that theyd handled big names in the past.
He laughed and was like This is a little bit bigger. He looks at her and says He doesnt know who it is, does he? Then she looks at me and says Its the first lady. I was like wow Thats bigger! Price said.
Price wasnt allowed to tell his staff the first lady was coming. So he just tried to make sure everything went smoothly.
Then right before show time, the first lady walked right through the front doors. Just like everybody else. She picked a table and sat in a chair. Were told they ordered a bottle of white wine and enjoyed the show.
The first lady came with three girlfriends, including Dr. Sharon Malone wife of the Attorney General Eric Holder.
They were able to watch Ferrell perform in a very intimate venue with just 312 seats.
Despite being so openly seated, Price says not that many people noticed her. Just the extra security.
At the end of the day shes just a normal person trying to enjoy a show the same as they are, Price said.
Price is now just happy he was able to give her a good girls night out.
Shes married to the president of the United States, arguably the most powerful man in the world. So thats awesome, Price said.
Price says his only regret about that night is that he didnt take any pictures.
Rams head leaders also tell us Malone, who was with Mrs. Obama frequents the venue.
I know multimillionaires that don’t live like this.
Then there’s this:

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.
Poor Ram’s Head, great place, they deserve better!
“Then she looks at me and says Its the first lady. I was like wow Thats bigger!”
Truer words have never been spoken!
“She picked a table and sat in a chair.”
She sat in a chair?!!?
Wow.
She didn’t float above it like an angel or something?
I love the Ram’s Head. My first day in Annapolis, I went there and joined their beer club.
Great place, but the girlie-man attitude of the GM makes me want to barf, and takes the place down a notch.
Couldn't you just die?!?!
Then right before show time, the first lady walked right through the front doors. Just like everybody else. She picked a table and sat in a chair.
I feel almost giddy with joy.
I’m surprised she can sit in a chair with that caboose of a rear end she drags around.
Goosebumps!
Will wonders ever cease !?!
Rams Head is a very fine brew pub and a great place to see a show. No bad seats
Who were her 3 friends with her???
