Yeah, he just seemed very normal that day...actually, I secretly believe he sent out the Yankovic-h guy instead....
I just meant that the only band/Al members that met that night was Al....Jim was out, and I met with him for awhile, but didn't really congregate with everybody....

Atlantic City, the bus was parked right next to the venue Dave!!! It was impossible to not find!!! Steve was there first and stayed outside the longest, and Jim and Bermuda came by later. They were all very open to meeting and greeting with whoever was there. (Which was me, my 2 friends and 2 random people, for 5 total)
By the way, here's the pic I got with Steve at Atlantic City to prove it. When Al came out though he walked right past us into the bus. (Did I mention he was carrying an apple laptop and 3 containers of food) He looked very tired/hungry.
Btw July 11th = No Meet N' Greet for anybody.

Wow! So Bermuda was looking for me at the merchandise table when I wasn't there, and I didn't see the bus which was in plain view. Man, I missed a lot that night.

, If only I could get one w/ Al...
The one time I met Al (Wildwood 07), I had my camera right there with me, but my mind totally blanked and I didn't take a picture,

.
Oo well, there is always next tour.

Greensburg was a yes. There were a ton of people too, and his voice was very tired but healthy. I was blowing bubbles as I normally do when I am waiting outside or in rush hour traffic, and he managed to catch one of them on his way to the bus. Too awesome! When I told him it was an honor to meet him, he said it was an honor to meet me, so I of course turned into a 10 year old girl at that point.
I did my best not to take too long, got a picture and an autograph! Still floating. He got very close in the picture. No wait, maybe I am a 5 year old! I turned into my shoe size.
It really meant a lot to me to meet someone that has had such a positive influence on so many people's lives. I appreciate that he is willing to share so much of himself with his fans.
As far as VIP. I do know someone who was a business contact who I think gets them for Pittsburgh. Fun guy, nice guy, been to his house at a party YEARS ago, but no doubt a business man. I think it would be very unlikely for me to use this contact in the future, but if I put the time in.. still doubtful. If I had the time I would hang with him for the fun guy reasons, but Pittsburgh is now too far for me to hang out much when I work there. I am usually working four jobs when I am employed in the area.
Anyway! Greensburg was a yes, even though he was tired. That was so awesomely nice.
