he was signing whatever people wanted him to at NYC CD signing - pictures, posters, CDs, DVDs, pieces of paper.... had no problems with anything.

Just got a call from Wexner Center (sponsoring LBs show in Columbus). They're calling all VIP ticket holders to tell them to hold on to their ticket stubs and stay in the their seats to be ushered to the M&G. Just thought I'd give a heads up! She also said LB would be available for one photo, one autograph, and a quick "chat."

Must admit my heart dropped when she said where she was calling from. I immediately thought the worst. Whew!

Me too!!!!! As soon as the Ohio number popped up on my phone I was thinking "oh no, it's cancelled!" but I was quite surprised and pleased, very nice of them to take the time to let us know how the meet and greet is going to flow.

now after these shows actually happened, i have to say this all turned out completely different than i expected.

having bunch of people who managed to get M&G right in front of him in the first 1 or 2 rows, LB seemed well aware that these were hard core fans who will throw requests at him, ask for RAB, know his deep cuts, start some banter, go nuts etc. it made atmosphere a bit different at M&G shows with reserved seating... concentration of die-hards in first rows made these shows a bit crazier it seemed!!

the only drawback at these shows was that he didn't do the hand-shaking-edge walk - i guess since he knew he'd be shaking hands with the first row people afterwards anyway. but - this placed people who didn't get to snatch M&G tix but managed to get upfront during GYOW at a disadvantage - they didn't get the handshakes or high-fives.


EDIT: although he actually did some handshakes in Columbus. just not everybody upfront like at non-M&G shows.
