Default Meeting THE Band

How does one go about this anyway?.....Is there a special ticket you buy along with your gig ticket? Do you hope to see them or someone in the bathroom line during intermission? Do you happen to run in to them after the show on their way out of the venue? Do you have to know someone who knows someone?

I am so excited about all of these latest reviews and pics and meet and greets and I wonder...."Will that ever be me?"

Mind you, being at a gig and seeing them live again will be enough for me but the thrill of the possibilty is endless...

Stalking stage doors before/after shows in ANY weather is usually a good start Ticia. You have to put in the hours....

You also have to pratice "spy" and "hurl" activities ...I reckon you need about 3 month intense activity spy training before any show....

They are quite experienced in mad looking fan dodging .... I have fallen down stairs ...ran screaming next to tour buses at 1 pm...(even when I am not sure if the UBs were actually inside ..... hung on to lamposts....ran and ran and ran.....and I am not a running fan....)...

What M said. Sometimes ya gotta run up dirt hills, through prickly bushes to get around security that are "guarding" the tour buses. Sometimes you see em before a show while in line at the venue. Sometimes you wait after a show for what seems like ages as they trickle out of the venue one by one. And sometimes ya get lucky and get invited backstage. Don't worry Ticia, I have a feeling your day will come very soon!

Ticia, I was always thinking that way "Will this ever be me?".
Don't worry anymore, I'm very sure that you will meet them. Just wait and see, hun. xxx Believe us here, you will get your chance.

All good things come to those who wait. And wait. And wait some more! Here's hoping you get your turn soon Ticia

Jolene, I have never had to run through prickly bushes but I have had to dodge security who are intent on doing their job. Still all worth it in the end

mitch also hijacks the whole front row at gigs with the tents, indoor burners,flasks ect
she is a female version of Swampy when it comes to gigs

i have been told that mitch now has spears sewn into her cloths so she has a 2 ft perimiter at gigs
