David Hasselhoff, John Mayer and...

Me, Your Humble Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Real Estate Agent!

The Hoff, John Mayer, and Me, your humble Raleigh, Cary, Apex area Real Estate agent!

First it was David Hasselhoff.

And now it's John Mayer!

Although I'm not adverse to it, I'm typically not one who's known to be hanging out with the rich and famous crowd.

After all, I'm just a humble Real Estate agent trying to earn a living here in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex area.

But, first it was David Hasselhoff. (You can read all about my friendship with the Hoff here.)

And now it's John Mayer!

I didn't even know that John Mayer was a Craig Rutman fan!

But, when I opened my email this morning, I was greeted with this message...

First it was David Hasselhoff and now John Mayer follows me on Twitter!

I've actually had the opportunity to meet John Mayer a bunch of times. Not only is he one talented musician, but the guy is pretty darned funny too!
(Remind me to tell you about watching the Olympics with him over dinner a few years back.)

And, despite his fame, he's not afraid to take some advice along the way too. In fact, here's a picture of John and me shortly after I convinced him that the "hat look" is in! And, of course, presented him with his very own limited edition autographed Real Estate Craig Bobble Head doll!!!

John Mayer and me sporting our new hats! And the Real Estate Craig Bobble head doll!

First it was David Hasselhoff.

And now John Mayer is my latest fan, er, Twitter follower!

My network continues to grow!!!

Hey, John, next time you're in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex area give me a call. I'll hook you up with the best wings and beer place you've ever been to!

Then maybe you can hook me up with some passes to see you play!

And not one of those crappy "after show" passes like people win because they were the 100th caller on some goofy radio station!

I need the "All Access" pass... You know the ones.

The passes that folks of our stature are accustomed to!!!

All Acces is the only way to go to a concert!

Have your people get in touch with my people and let's make it happen!

And people, don't forget that John's latest album, "Born and Raised" is now available everywhere.

Buy it now! Help a guy make a living!

Craig: I may not be able to bestow an AR Feature upon you ... but I CAN bestow a BananaTude Feature. Well, at least today, I can.

So I'm putting my immense power to work. I, of course, expect a bobblehead Craig doll for my efforts ...

Featured in BananaTude!

Congratulations!

Craig, you know that I support you 100% and think you're the coolest...I'm mean after all...David and John...how cool is that...but I feel you are just a little too elitist...yes that's correct...elitist....I've begged, bribed and sent countless checks in the mail to you...but can I get a Real Estate Craig Bobble Head Doll??? NO!!...I keep looking under my Christmas Tree Hanukkah Bush (that could be the problem) checking my mailbox or calling the UPS guy (he's getting pretty annoyed with me by the way) and no sign of the wildly popular Real Estate Craig Bobble Head Doll!! But, get a Tweet or rub elbows with John Mayer and he gets one at the drop of a hat (I'm sure you dropped them at one point). Anyway, I forgot where I was going with this, talk to you later, nice to have you back...sort of!

Jason - And I don't often drink beer. But when I do, I drink Heineken!!! And I don't often praise comments. But when I do it's because they share my opinion!

John - I got you laughing with this? Mission accomplished!

Laura - Well it's cooled down from 106 to 97 degrees today. Don'y worry though. I have a sweater with me!!!

Kristin - No way! I'm on John's "A" list right now! I'm not going to do anything to screw that up!

Dan - Settle down "Easy Rider"!!! By the way, if you come back again (and, really why wouldn't you?), my posts always seem to bring out the crazy in my readers. I've always maintained that the comments are consistently better than the blogs I post!

Anita - Subtlety is something I've mastered Anita! I'll bet you hardly even noticed my request!

Gene - Thank you for using your powers for good, not evil my friend! And thank you for the BananaTude feature!

Nick - Elitist? Me? How dare you! I'd call you to give you a piece of my mind, but I have some lobster stuck in my teeth and need to rinse with some Dom Perignon first!!!

Kathy - I'd debate you if I felt you were wrong Kathy!!!

Doug - Thank you sir. I've missed my time in the Rain. Of course it was for good reason though. As far as one of those nifty Craig Rutman Bobble Head dolls. I think I have a few I can send you as I keep getting them marked as "Return to Sender" when I send them to Nick!!!

Kerrie - And who am I to argue with the one and only Kerrie Greenhalgh, who just happens to be the coolest thing ever to have graced planet Earth since the invention of the wheel?!!
