While In Canada....

While In Canada..

On Sunday. we made our way over to the MTS building, where the CCMA awards were being held. All the award presenters, including Jimmy Wayne and I, had a dress rehearsal for the show. Everything flowed smoothly. We went back to the Fairmont (our hotel) after that and had some time to kill. The CCMA presidential gala dinner started at around 6 p.m., so we headed over there for a cocktail party first and then onto the dinner itself. There were a bunch of familiar faces along with some new ones. It was good to get in there and mingle a bit.

On Monday, myself and Barry were met in the Lobby of the Fairmont hotel by Sam from Open Road Universal. He took us to visit two radio stations. After the visits, we had time off before being picked up to go to the show. Our ride came at 4:30 p.m. and we headed over to the MTS building. The driver took us to the loading area backstage and I went and got powdered up for the show and had a bite to eat in the catering area backstage. Jimmy Wayne and I were first on to present Female Artist of the Year. I went up there and had mentioned to the audience that Jimmy was celebrating a 1 song, with Do You Believe Me Now. It was cool to see Dierks Bentley and friend Kellie Pickler there tonight as well. Once the awards were done, everybody moved over to the convention center for the after party. There were fans in there who I was able to chat with and give autographs too. Barry and I stayed for an hour and a half or so and then headed for the hotel. We have an early morning wake up call ahead of us and I am sure it will come all to soon in the morning. I just finished packing my things back up and I'm laying down to hopefully get at least 3 hours of sleep tonight. Talk to you soon and God Bless!
