jacob's ladder Posted October 10, 2012 Share 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.

Apollo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Can we start hating you now or do we have to wait until after the actual meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm assuming it's after the show, could be before, I don't know. I am psyched either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted October 10, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOH Lights Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 QUOTE (jacob's ladder @ Oct 10 2012, 12:07 PM) I'm assuming it's after the show, could be before, I don't know. 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!

drbirdsong Posted October 10, 2012 Share 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."Â I would do something like that to try and get a laugh out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll welcome you with open arms...      Or at least Michael will. His arms are likely to be cocked so pack your Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightAntennae Posted October 10, 2012 Share 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!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
