Title: Current Meet and Greet
Post by: Pet Sounder on August 30, 2015, 11:07:54 AM
I was wondering if anyone on the board has gone to a Meet and Greet at Brian's current tour.  I've only been to one (at the 50th Anniversary tour), but it was very rushed.  Was that because it was with 5 Beach Boys, or is it also that rushed when it's just Brian, or Brian and Al?  What I mean by "rushed" is we were given a 15 second opportunity to stand behind the guys to get a picture taken, then rushed along so the next person could come up - no chance to shake hands, or even say a quick "hi" or "thanks" face to face.  Thanks in advance for any input.

There are a couple descriptions and photos of the meet and greet experience from the summer tour in the "Brian / Al / Blondie Summer 2015 Tour Thread". Here are the links to a couple I found most helpful:

I, too, was under the impression that it was going to be run more like C50 and didn't buy the VIP/meet & greet for the Detroit show I attended this summer. As the reports started coming in, I was disappointed I didn't spend the money. Luckily, Brian and Al are coming back to Michigan (minus Blondie, bummer!) and I purchased a front row seat, soundcheck and meet & greet. I can't wait! I hope this helps.

New Buffalo? See you there. :)  (The Mrs. scored us front-row center!)

Thank you!  You just might see me there.  New Buffalo is only an hour away from my home!
