So yesterday afternoon I get a call from Imaya aka Jen asking me what I had planned for that evening? I told her nothing because I had my daughter and nephew because my parents and sister was out of state at the hospital with my Uncle. So I really couldnt do much of anything because dragging a 10 year old and a 4 year old around to bars just wasn’t gonna happen:P. I asked her why? She said well Mulch was going to be in Branson and wanted to meet up with me. I was slightly frustrated because ever since Mulch and I have talked on ventrilo and in the various game outlets we always said if we ever had to opportunity to meet in RL we would definitely have to have a beer or twelve.
Well she gave me Mulch’s number and told me give him a call. So I gave him a ring and we chatted for a few minutes and made plans to meet at his hotel he was going to be staying at. Around 730pm I get a phone call from Mulch and he tells me they have arrived in town. I was heading to grab some quick dinner for my daughter and my nephew. We made a quick turn around and ran back to the house to grab my nephew a shirt and since hes four and thinks playing outside means no shirt and most of the time no shoes:D. We then headed to the hotel where Mulch was at. I pulled in the parking lot and since I had only seen a very poor picture of him I really wasn’t sure who I was looking for. Well I was just about to give him a call when he walks out from between two cars and says my name.
We shoke hands and I introduced the two kids to him. He hoped in the truck and we headed to grab something to eat. I have to say I was surprised when I finally met Mulch. The person I had pictured in my head was definitely not who I met last night. Only because the only picture I ever seen of him was not the greatest and he hasn’t ever described himself. I’m not going to give away any details but let me tell you this if you haven’t met him and was to run into him in public you wouldn’t know it was him unless hewas to introduce himself.
I know the age old saying pictures or it didn’t happen right? Well your just going to have to take my word on this because had my phone/camera not decided it would be cool to shut down and not restart until just after we dropped him off I still wouldn’t post a picture here. See the mystery he has created is not my place to expose. I will say this tho if you live near him there is a really great chance that you probably have met Mulch and didn’t even realize it. Had I just ran into him at Wal-Mart or in some random place I probably wouldn’t have know it was him until afterwords.
I did have two kids with me so after we ate and I showed him the newest attraction of Branson I had to cut the visit short and get them home and in bed. He did however get some video of my daughter, nephew and I at the Fire and Light show at the Branson Landing. That hopefully I will be able to get my hands on after hes done with his trip. Oh yeah that…the reason he was in town. Well it seems he is the camera man for the Tornado Chasers that take people on trips to see mother nature rip the country apart:P. So its a good possibility that if you watch the weather channels shows on tornado chasing from this year its a good possibility that you will be watching footage Mulch took.
