Images from the Academy of Country Music Awards Backstage Celebrity
Gift Lounge held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on May 25 and 26th, 2004. For background on who and why we were there, visit
Past Topics Page 9. The gifts the artists could choose from
were set on the table. The jewelry in the rustic chest was a sampling of some of the higher
end jewelry from the website.
When an artist came into the room, they were escorted to 12 vendor's tables
the gifts they chose were placed in a leather
duffle bag made up for the show. We each had about five minutes with each artist unless
they had the time and could stay longer. Often they
came in before they were going to rehearse, some with an entourage, some by themselves or with their manager. Each gift
was placed in a anti-tarnish bag in a gift-box with our logo and business card included.
