No ... so I'm not sure if he did a meet and greet or not ... my sister was in something of a rush to go (some weird desire about getting up early for work, something I know nothing about).

I did get two Al Dollars, though! Whooo! And a lot of good memories (I forgot my camera! and my cell phone! and my liscense for unlameness!).

Edit: Oh, and for the record ... he did Bob tonight! Whooo!

Oh my goodness. Well, according to Al, I have Yugoslavian hands... And according to Steve, my mom's name is Smiley. Very interesting night. I am starstruck. Al gives amazing hugs. He did do a meet and greet, although I had passes, I waited with Ambra. We met before and re-met after the concert. Al signed my first CD of his (Straight Outta Lynwood) and my rarest (Peter and the Wolf). All in all, the night was fantastic, and even my mom was impressed.

I'm so glad he did a meet and greet! That's awesome! Congrats on getting the hug and the signature and I'm glad you had a good time!

And now I have a reason to disown my sister! Whooooo!

Oh, I'm so glad you got to meet Al, Gianna! He does give great hugs, doesn't he? Man, I can't wait for my concert now! I'm also glad to hear your Mom was impressed. Al always delivers.

@ Ak! Give your sister the biggest guilt trip ever, just for me, will ya?

Trust me ... that's TOTALLY gonna happen ... and I'll throw in a couple extra jabs in honor of you!

(I've never been able to meet him ... hopefully next tour ... I just want to shake his hand and thank him for the many years of laughter he's provided me)

Is this the sister that sold you out to a certain Indian wrestler?

I would've already disowned her......

One and the same.

And you're right ... guess I'm too forgiving ... <sigh> ... what kind of paper work does one need to disown someone, anyway? To make it all legal like?

Anyway!

As I said, fantastic show ... wish I could make it to more this tour, but it looks like this may be the only one ... I'm just happy it was so excellent!

Well, it was a great show tonight. I had front row along with Gianna..right beneath Steve. Steve and I had a great time all night. We'd do a lot of stuff back and forth. Al also sang to me a lot.

There weren't really any flubs tonight. There were many stormtroopers & Saga people, I think I counted 13. Even though it was SRO, he still did Wanna B Ur Lovr..which surprised me. I could really feel Steve's bass tonight...best show for bass I've heard...Steve really made the show for me tonight...

After the show, I met Steve & Jim, and got my picture taken with them. That was fun. Steve was still having a blast with me after the show. Great night, and as far as I know, there was actually no public meet-n'-greet. Gianna had just gotten passes from Jim...we were told that he had left with his wife and kid, which was fine with me...I still met Steve and Jim...hopefully Atlantic City will be good tomorrow...need to get some sleep...almost midnight....

There was a public meet and greet, out back by the bus people were lining up. I loved the way Steve looked at you when you were quoting everything, that was great. xD

Ah, so now the security people are including Suzanne and Nina in the narrative to add verisimilitude to their webs of stinkin' filthy lies. That makes it so much nicer.
