Hi from Brian - see you here next Monday

[Wrightfan]

So how will this work? Will we ask in the thread set up on Monday realtime or do we put questions in a thread and he'll pick them out?

Oh and thanks for taking the time to do this Brian.

[RiC]

So cool, you are the best Brian!

This weekend I'm buying a lotto ticket and investing my winnnngs in premium bonds. I'm betting on a 200-1 outsider and spending those winnings on some random stocks and shares. The winnings from all of this I'm going to gamble on Martians entering the White House on Monday morning (Wilson Time).

I mean, what are the odds?

[Shady]

Think I'll ask about him wanting to do something with the Beach Boys somewhere down the line, it's something I'm curious about.

He'll get enough questions about the new album.

[Mendota Heights]

I like Brian Wilson.

[The Shift]

What's your favourite movie?

[Outtasight!]

Welcome to the smiley board Brian. I'm looking forward to the new album as I always do. I think this one will be a little bit special. I've only got about half a million questions to ask you! Best wishes.

Blimey, Brian's two threads have drawn more than 7,000 views already.

We expect we can give you all more details on that later this week

[Jim V.]

So mods or whoever's in the know....how are the questions gonna be asked?

Are we submitting questions like now or something....or are we just gonna have a free-for-all on Monday? Hopefully it'll be something somewhat structured. I think this could be very, very interesting if done well.

*And as I post I see SMiLE Holland's post. So there we go.

Might prove to be difficult..

Game plan better be good

Thanks Brian.  Looking forward to your Q&A!

Great! Look forward to it.

Being in a glass is half empty mood today I have to comment that while its cool 'Brian' has stopped by, a lot of these posts over Brian are real Blue Board 'fan boy' in style. Sure it will be great if he answers some interesting questions with interesting replies but I wouldn't hold your breath. In the past these Q&A's have been pretty weak all round.

Said my piece so happy to cop some flack.

Wow this is great news, thank you

[coco1997]

Still feels surreal that Brian is here among us. It's like a dream come true.

That's not glass half-empty stuff, it's calm and realistic. Hopefully it'll be fun tho' and no harm done, only good.  There-  the bar's open and the glasses are being refilled!

Wow can't wait to hear from Brian... Going to have to think of a question over the next few days 

[buddhahat]

Great news. Blimey - what to ask though?!

Mods - is it to be one question per person? Seems like the fairest approach.

I'd say you deserve some flack.  What a 'prickish' thing to say.  The pomposity of your need to dump on the blueboard and on what else BBB too if they enter into the picture?...is just so typical...because, IN FACT, there really is NO difference in terms of the fandom...or of the excitment when it comes to having a chance to spend a little time with Brian...whether it be in concert or on-line.  Geez.  It's not like it happens once a month!!!

As you MAY have read along the way over these past many days here...Brian is never big on confrontation.  Upsets his apple-cart a little.  NO ONE likes to be crowded so the visit will be orderly.  He'll answer as many questions as he can...while someone else saves everyone time by doing the typing of the words he, in fact, says.  Short questions will work better for him...and in many cases the answers will probably be pretty short too.  He's goin to want to react to as many folks as possible so make it easy for him to succeed.

Who knows...if it goes WELL...he may very well come back again.  It's ALL up to us.

"Remember...'member when you were with the Beach Boys?"

"Yeah..."



"That was awesome."

Don't mind the comments Add Some. My point I guess is on the Blue Board I expect pro- Brian comments. His site with his rules. Here I hope for a better balance with some decent manners however. Reading some of the comments I feel these are not in the SS message board style. I'm just not the fawning type I guess, but that's my problem.
