I have to share my Sean Hannity experience with my fellow FReepers.
Sean and Laura Ingraham were in Kansas City on Saturday for Sean's "Hannity in the Heartland" tour and two of my friends and I went.
The three of us work at a fried chicken joint that is frequented by Rush and that sells t-shirts that have "we choke our own chickens" on the back. We thought it would be fun to give Sean, Laura, and (especially) Flipper, a t-shirt.
They signed books at the end of the event and so we figured we'd give them the shirts at that time. Laura was first and she really liked her shirt. (She also told us that we need to lobby the local station - 710 AM - to get her show on the air so we need to get on that!)When we got to Sean, he signed our books and the conversation went something like this:
ME: The three of us work at a restaurant that Rush goes to whenever he's in town and they have great t-shirts that we thought you'd like Flipper to have (showed him the shirt and he laughed).
SEAN: That's great...so what kind of food is it?
US: Homestyle, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy...
SEAN: How far away is it?
ME: Five minutes.
SEAN: Do you think they would deliver it to the plane?
ME: WE'LL deliver it to the plane!
SEAN: Okay, let's set that up. That's my favorite kind of food.
So then one of his handlers gave us the phone number to the plane (private jet), told us they needed dinner for nine people and that they would give us Sean's credit card number when we get there.
We called in the order, picked it up, called the plane, and finally got there at about 5:30. We parked in front of the general aviation terminal, walked in with all the food (it was A LOT!) and said that it was for Hannity & company. The guy behind the counter said, "There's his plane out there...go ahead."
So we just walked out to the plane (Gulf Stream 2) got on board (no escort or anything), and there was no one there. We were FREAKING OUT! Of course we took pictures and I thought it'd be funny if we all used the toilet too, but they didn't want to.
We set up the food and eventually the pilots came on board and we chatted with them while we waited for Sean...about 15 - 20 minutes.
Finally everyone arrived and Sean started walking up the steps to the plane and before he got on board, we heard him yell, "I SMELL CHICKEN!"
He came on board and was practically jumping up and down. He said, "On the way over here I was thinking 'I hope they remembered the chicken' I'm starving!" (REMEMBERED?!)
Laura was with him and she was really pleased as well. She gave me a hug and said we were great and Sean talked to us for a little bit - asked us if we were married and had kids, what we do, etc. Then we took some pictures with him and he got our names and said that he would give us a mention on the air today!
It was all very exciting and I have to admit to you that I did forget one important thing. Please don't be angry, but I forgot to tell Sean that FREEPERS RULE!

That's my story and I thought you'd like to hear it. He is so nice, genuine, and personable. He didn't want to hear us praise him, but seemed truly interested in us.
I just hope I get a chance to meet him again, and if any of you ever get the opportunity, TAKE IT!

OK, like Sean, I find this interesting too!

Contrast this honesty and humanity with the slick, lying gloss of x42.

One of the girls e-mailed me the photo of us with Sean on the plane, but I don't know how to post it - I don't have a URL for it or anything. Maybe someone more resourceful can help?

Hey, this story kicks a$$! Sean comes across as a pretty cool guy to hang out with. I know he is conservative, but he as a slight libertarian bent to him, so he is not all uptight about stuff. Laura is, well I think she is cute. Ok, ok, she is smart too..

Sean Hannity is a stand-up guy, who's not a snob. This is another proof of that. Sounds like fun! Wish I had a chicken shack.
I'd also love some of those t-shirts......hehe......you should get the place to go online, and sell 'em. I'll bet they'd sell.
To: ILBBACH
we need to lobby the local station - 710 AMgreat story -- except for this part, because it means that whb has fallen. many is the afternoon that i delighted in johnny dolan's show, which is surely long gone.
but, except for the part that makes me feel positively elderly, great story!

Man. I was thrilled with my Sean/Laura experience, but I have nothing on yours!!!
I too thought Sean and Laura seemed extremely nice and really happy to see us.
We should have a freeper gathering at your restaurant. Sounds good!
