She picked up a hitchhiker

Maybe her parents didn't tell her not to pick up a hitchhiker because Emily Kraus saw a guy on the side of the road and decided to give him a ride.  She was on her way to a Dave Mathews concert when she passed Dave Mathews on the side of the road.  He had been out on a bike ride prior to the concert and the bicycle got a flat tire.  Luckily for him, Emily had a bike rack on her car.  In return for her kindness, Emily got the royal treatment at the concert which included backstage passes, dinner with the star, and front row seats.  flat tire on bicycle
