If you go to the show, you have a chance at an auto if you stay long enough afterwards. One concert I went to, he actually pulled one of those school desks with the little platform on it out to the parking lot where his bus was parked and signed autos for an hour and a half. Those that stuck around long enough got to talk to him and even get a hug! He's very personable and patient.
Good luck, and here's hoping you can go!

They raffle cars? That's definitely worth staying for! :biggrin:
Okay, I knew what you meant. It's too soon in the tour to say whether or how often Al will be meeting fans this year, but there's no denying that the California leg wasn't favorable for that.
According to Mapquest: Del Mar to Konocti, 607.74 miles, 10 hrs., 24 min. (and I'd be VERY surprised if tour buses could make anything like those times on those windy roads). Konocti was a disaster as far as the staging/costuming/multimedia aspect, although fine as to the quality of the actual singing and playing. The concert finished half an hour after the venue's curfew hour (hey, this is a resort! There are people trying to sleep here!) and even if it hadn't I can hardly imagine Al wanting to meet and apologize to fans after a series of problems like that. Besides, it was a long haul to the next venue:
683.24 miles, 12 hours & 32 minutes to Las Vegas (same windy roads getting away from Clear Lake, same doubts about agility of tour buses). Equipment truck arrived at 6:30. No stress here about getting everything ready on time, nosirree. None at all, no way.
460.27 miles, 7 hours, 50 min. back to SLO. As far as I can tell, that show was hitch-free, except that Al must have bruised his butt falling on the Sith Stool of Doom, and Jim's guitar took a hit from the same stool. And that was the last show for a few days. After that series of difficulties and disasters (not to mention the fresh bruises), it's hardly surprising that Al didn't want to delay being homeward bound, home where his music's playing, home where his love lay waiting... oh, sorry, wrong artist.
