Well, I only talked to 6 and a Darth Vader after the show after they had met Al. I also only had a partial view of the stage, all night I couldn't see Bermuda, so two more might have been at that part and they might have left early.

I guess you've had passes the last 2 times? I don't know, I've never been able to find the busses at Kings Island or where they come out at. Last night, when they took us back, they were in a wooded, inclosed part of the park.

He did look at the video screen in Bob a few more times than usual last night. I thought it was to make sure that he was at the same place as the video, as in Youngstown he wasn't, but, I've also seen him look back for the lines before.

It was also a nice touch to have fireworks at the end of Albuqerque.

Hello guys! It was great seeing (meeting) you guys last night (accordion Mom)! Had a good time gabbing it up with you guys!

The show was really great. I got my boss backstage so he was thrilled. Maybe I can finally get that promotion I've been bucking for!

Stayed out late. Need a nap. Hung out until about 1:00 am. Good times.

Take care and chat with ya later.

Dave

Not a whole lot else I can say about the show that hasn't already been said. This has probably been answered somewhere else, but how does everyone come across the passes for after the show. It was irritating that they made everyone without a pass leave after the show.

What was the total count on signatures?

Kaffy - you were fun to sit by - I agree with your comments on the "extras".

Aww thanks!!

i try to have as much fun at the shows as I possibly can, it irritates me to no end when people sit there like bumps on the log. The 2 guys in front of us kept cracking me up.. their reactions to a lot of the video clips, and the songs that were coming on next. They seemed to really enjoy themselves.

I was told before I even entered the park by security.. "Ma'am you can't bring these in with you" so I had to go back to the car and put them away. Kinda disapointing. so, I, myself, didn't get any signatures

A lot of the peole with meet and greets get them from Radio Contest and such.

I haven't been on here in quite a while, but we went to the King's Island show last night and it rocked. Loved the storm troopers.

Yes, that was disappointing. I had my two oldest with me (ages 7 and 9) for my first live Al experience. Had a great time, but wished we could have stayed and gotten an autograph afterwards. Maybe next time.

EDIT: Oh, and I haven't really kept up with what a normal setlist is from Al in quite some time, but I certainly wasn't expecting a full Albuquerque. What a treat! My boys were thrilled, too.

Re: Passes - it is generally luck. Sometimes being at the right place at the right time. What goes for one might not happen for another. Just be patient and keep up your good efforts. Behavior counts!

As for the sigs - unofficially, 319. I want to give credit where credit is due, so anyone who gave me what they worked on before the show - speak up. I was distracted, as usual, so I have to rely on your self-promotion, please! The sheets will be mailed to Greg tomorrow, so the official count will be posted in the RRHOF thread when Greg gets them.

As for hanging around after the show: Historically, Kings Island has pushed us out of the amphitheatre asap so they can clean up. We were hanging around outside the seating area, out by merchandise, and no one bothered us. We were waiting for someone who went back.

Having been to 2 previous Al concerts there, when Paramount ran it, I can say they were quite pushy. Last night, they seemed more relaxed, and at times, quite helpful, right Diva, Carole?

They were very nice and helpful! After the show, though, I thought they pushed us out a lot faster than last time when Whizzi was here. It may have been because Steve was out in the crowd the last time, and people swarmed around him. I'm sorry I didn't get to say hello to Steve. I'm sure by the next tour he'll have forgotten who I am.

Maybe I can go to one more show. Do you think my 4 month old puppy will pass as a service dog?

Wow Mom!!!! Helene and I had a TERRIBLE time getting out of the park!!!!! TERRIBLE!!!!!

I drove in circles for quite some time! I will tell you, at 1:00 AM, the street cleaners don't even want to start to talk to you!!!! We finally found ou way out.
