not sure what you do, but when you get off "work" do you see clients? or do you want to go home and rest or go get dinner, etc.
haven't you done what you were PAID for??
it seems sort of callous, but we are all in some or another form of business.
Stevie seems generous enough with her time, and upon random, "free-time" encounters , quite gracious. but after ad day of rehearsals, a night of performing, perhaps she just wants to have Stevie-time. should we be-grudge her that?
she can't logistically meet every fan who wants time with her, or the 4-12,000 fans would be lined up waiting their turn.

I agree with this. I think she does a fair amount of meet-and-greets, and when she does, she does them genuinely. However, there are many times where she simply cannot do it because of other obligations and still other times when she just doesn't want to do it because she is human and can have moods like any of us. I've touched her hand a few times but never really MET her, and as much as I would love to, I really don't think she owes it to me. After she finishes the show, she has given me what she owes me.
