I remember reading about how some (if not most of) you have talked with the band after shows. What did you guys do exactly to exchange some words with them? I'm seeing them on the 23rd for the Evening With... show, and figured it would be cool as fuck to say hi or something.
 
word, thats what i did, well actually outside the venue, then they all snuck up on us and revealed the "secret" exit and the bus so we could stalk mike and per....im gonna be at the show on the 23rd aswell :-D

Nice, maybe we'll bump into each other. I'll be wearing a Greenbay Packers cap all the way on the right side (when looking at the stage).
 
I'll just be wearing my Ghost of Perdition shirt like last time...can I borrow your belt buckle? lol

You do realize that probably half the venue will be wearing that shirt? Lol. So it would be quite hard to notice you, hah.
 
I would leave in the middle of the last song and go out back and wait for them. If you want to meet them that bad, then make sure you are there in time.

It's not like they run out of the venue after the last song. They chill and sneak out lol. So theres no rush to run outside and miss DOTF.

I know some bands that do this, it really depends on the band. Ducking out a little early is a sure way of meeting them.

Not the way I met SYL though. I met Byron outside before the show when we were looking for a bathroom. He was just chillin on the streetcorner talking to people. I met Gene outside also before the show, as we were like 3rd in line. We met Gene and Byron inside at the end of the show, as we stayed around to see what was going on. After a little while they kicked us out because we didnt have backstage passes. I guess it was time to go home :). So we went outside to wait for Devin, as I really wanted to met him. So finally he comes outside and we go talk to him and get some autographs. It was a small venue, so meeting the guys was easy, even when they were headlining.

edit: oh yea, and since it was Jed's hometown, we didnt see him at all. He probably came to the show 5 minutes before it started, and left right after it to go back and see his parents cause he was in the area. I eventually met him, so I didnt care.
 
Nowadays though i think they get a bit tired of meeting fans after gigs. Its a shame really because they all seem like a good bunch of guys. Although i could understand because they dont wanna be bombarded with questions n the like.
