Joan O'Reilly
O'Reilly, mother of 311 bassist P-Nut (Aaron Wills), has a shirt from the Omaha-bred rock band's days of playing the Ranch Bowl.
Back when the venerable bowling alley/music venue was still in operation, patrons had to be 21 or older to get into the fenced-in bar area during rock shows.
“Kids would always try to get in that section, telling the bouncers that ‘It's OK, I'm with the band,'” O'Reilly said. “Every time we heard that, we'd smile, the bouncers would smile and it got to be a catch phrase.”
Eventually, O'Reilly made several shirts with “It's OK, I'm with the band” for herself and other parents of band members.
