August 28th - DUCK Fiabetes Does Gordon Keith

by Brad Koettel - Team Captain of DUCK Fiabetes


Tonight was out first big outing, and most of you won't even know about it until Saturday. As we mentioned earlier... we went down to the weekly taping of The Gordon Keith show, and we decided to make a little "Team Event" out of it. So we jumped in the car, drove past the Cowboys final pre-season game, turned off the Democratic National Convention, and headed down to see Gordon Keith entertain us for an hour or so.

For more pictures... you can click on the slideshow on the right or just click here!

Everybody really enjoyed the show, but we are all curious if it wasn't because of the $5 you call it tequila margaritas we had before the show. Now I know the show is funny, but if Gordon sent everybody in there for a drink before the show - maybe all the audiences would be as rowdy as we were. (yes you heard it right - $5 you call it margs. Patron Margs = $5. Cabo Wabo Margs = $5. If I would have know that earlier - we would have been there earlier!)

The show was really great fun. We saw a preview of the RedNeck Tenors performance, as well as a funny clip of Gordon on the "Red Carpet." His young crushes bit was pretty funny too. As fans of the Ticket and the Gordon Keith Show, we've been looking for a good reason to go see the taping live, and enjoyed ourselves so much that we might even go again (if they'll still have us)

I like to think it was my exuberant personality over the fact that
we were the only ones in the studio audience, but surprisingly enough as the Team Captain I was chosen as "Audience Member of the Week!" (I like to think Gordon was drawn to my personality and good looks...) I got to sit with Gordon and kill a segment making sand art and getting to say just enough about the DUCK Fiabetes cause to hopefully drive some attention to our team!

So I wanted to officially thank Gordon Keith and his producer Kerri Navarro for having us to the show. We really appreciate the opportunity and we had a blast. We'll get the word out about this weeks show (and the fact that it'll be 1/2 hour late) and I'm sure help you sell lost of Miller High Life. Thanks again...
