I'm a huge and longtime fan and this is my first post. I've generally been a lurker but had to comment about this.
I just read this now and am really saddened by what that person said. We were at the Vancouver show and got to hang out down by the stage and John walked by and actually said a word or two to us as he was going backstage for a smoke

He was lovely and funny. Even though we were RIGHT THERE no one else took the time. Sad pile of antisocial ****...um, no. I should say though that after my husband was waving his arms around and "thumbs upping" Stevie for 2 hours she gave him a wink and a thumbs up back. Pretty much the best moment of his life
We went to Tacoma the next night and are going to Edmonton on the 24th. So excited.
BTW, is anyone here fom the burnish.net days? Is that ever coming back? Tracy??
