jacob's ladder Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Without going into specifics, it looks like I will have an opportunity to meet the band after one of the upcoming shows- I'm pretty excited but nervous at the same time. I think a quick 'hello' & 'you guys are the best' might be appropriate. I will try to get a photo & post it after the meet & greet. Edited October 10, 2012 by jacob's ladder
Apollo Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Can we start hating you now or do we have to wait until after the actual meeting

Are you talking about a meet and greet or something else? You said meet and greet, but you also said after the show which is a conflict. They do the meet and greets before the show.
jacob's ladder Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 I'm assuming it's after the show, could be before, I don't know. I am psyched either way
driventotheedge Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Dick. . . . . . eff you . . . . . Wait, be an adult Mike . . . . Seriously, very happy for you man. Please post the pic and don't fawn all over them. My advice: sincerely tell them their music has brought you much joy/happiness and leave it at that.
jacob's ladder Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Thank you! I didn't want to post as if I was bragging, but just got news of the backstage opportunity this morning & I am so excited I wanted to share. I will follow your advice- seems like a cool thing to say to them.

I am psyched either way Unless it's in November, it probably won't be an after the show meet. More than likely, they'll be leaving the venues in Neil's caravan and flying out right after most of the shows. Regardless, congrats and enjoy!
MJH Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 you should try to tell them your life story,really slow.... all kidding aside...congrats!!

drbirdsong Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Walk up and act kind of flustered. Say to them, "I'm in a hurry and I know you guys really wanted to meet me, but let's get this picture thing over with. I have a Neil Peart show to go to." I would do something like that to try and get a laugh out of them.

He'll welcome you with open arms... Or at least Michael will. His arms are likely to be cocked so pack your Glock.
BrightAntennae Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 If you get the chance to meet Neil (which you won't)......but if you do....ask him if he's ever heard of Keith Moon. Just kidding...have a great show!
