Well, here is my experience. I've already posted about it in the Seattle thread, but I'm bored so I will do it again.

After the Seattle show, my brother and I waited at the back of the theatre hoping to get a picture and autograph. I have been to several FM and LB shows throughout the years, have amassed a huge collection of stuff, and, at this point, the only thing I really want anymore was to get a picture with LB.

At first, there was only two of us there. As people started coming out of the back of the theatre (Brett, Neal), two more people showed up. So there was a total of FOUR people there wanting autographs etc.

First Kristen comes out and then Lindsey. I said, "Lindsey can I please get a picture." Kristen gave me a snotty look, like "oh god, here we go again." I don't really give a lying flip what Kristen thinks, I have no interest in Lindsey other than being a huge fan of his music, so she just needs to chill. Lindsey looked over and said "suuuree," very very reluctantly.

He came over and I got a picture. He didn't smile or anything, seemed very uncomfortable, and just made a weird face. Then another person got a picture and two people got autographs really quickly. Literally, this took about about two minutes. He kept saying, "ok, I have to go. This is all I can do." Then he said "gotta go" and jumped in the car. He seemed very reluctant, very hurried, and just not in a good mood.

That is fine. But after reading how cool he was about signing autographs and taking pictures last tour, that was what I was expecting. I was pretty disapponted in the encounter. Granted, Lindsey doesn't have to sign or take pictures with ANYONE, but, by now, I think Lindsey knows his fan base is pretty small, but also very LOYAL. I don't care if he had to stay out for an hour to sign autographs and take pictures, I think he owes that much to his fans.

I guess I just didn't understand the reluctance and somewhat bad attitude. It kind of left me with a bad impression. I have tickets to another show, but at this point I'm debating about even going because of this experience. On a side note, Brett Tuggle came out before Lindsey and I did get a picture with him. He was so nice and very cool. He somewhat made up for the bad Lindsey experience.
