I don't see how Al could possibly be insulted by someone who said they admired any of his work. If you like Polka Party, say so.
Well, depending on how I say it, it could unintentionally sound sarcastic. I really do like Polka Party, and a lot of Al's songs that don't seem to get A or B list treatment.
Yeah, I've had my fair share of Meet-N'-Greets. Make sure to ask or talk to him about whatever you want to talk about. Also, it's the venue that discourages the pics...I have personally never seen Al turn down one...so go ahead and get a pic, I think Al enjoys taking them....
Just have a good time at the concert, that's the main thing....don't worry about a Meet-N'-Greet and if there is one, feel lucky and just enjoy it....
Meet and greets aren't normally announced, per se. After a not-too-large clump of fans has milled around after a concert for a while, somebody from security might say "Line up!" and then you know you got lucky. If they were actually announced, Al would acquire the worst case EVER of autograph-induced carpal tunnel.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
No meet-n'-greets are ever obvious...look at Star Plaza, as far as I know, no meet-n'-greet, not even an Al appearance...don't know where he was, but he wasn't there.

Not more obvious, but I think meet & greets are a little more likely at indoor theaters for two reasons: smaller crowds and the bus parking usually being on the street or in an alley, more accessible.

There was not a Meet & Greet @ Star Plaza. My friends and I waited until 1:00am...then we left, and everyone else that was there also left (there were maybe 20 people tops).
However Steve did come out... I got my ticket signed!
You're gonna take a walk in the rain and you're gonna get wet... I predict.
Yeah...that's what I figured...I stayed around til a little before midnight...had to come back to the hotel and sleep up for the trip to Toledo today...It was definitely weird last night...
