Its funny you should say that SFG, the concert was in August at the "Taste of Westchester" (a small fest) and so PHO would have been at the high of popularity and he of course played Two Tix but didnt mention the show. And DUH - here is my a big fan of PHO and i didnt think to ask either.Quote:

He also said that all $ obtained from selling t-shirts, CDs etc was going to go to a childrens charity. He was a really nice guy. I have picture of my wife and her friend each kissing one of his cheeks. :laugh
The Crickets were sooo nice. I asked them how accurate the Gary Bussey "Buddy Holly Story" movie was - they politlely said that they declined to answer.
Ya know SnowFlake Girl...You couldn't be more right!!! Considering my club is right across the street from the performing arts center in town, and the fact that I control all the beer...Well it's a match made in heaven!!
I gotta admit though...I'm totally star struck!! I love being your "Meet and Greet" host...Like I said, Worlds biggest groupie!!! I've met more people and done more cool things because of where I work and what I do. Wouldn't trade it for the world!!
Ok, ok....What if you technically didn't meet the artist but got to touch them? Does that count? If so then there's Gavin Rossdale (touched his shoulder) and Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray (somehow my hand landed on his crotch--ON ACCIDENT!) Both happened at concerts. :lol
I never met anyone but I have talked to Jenny Gear on the phone! She was on Canadian Idol and she's from Newfoundland(where I live) and its a looooong story...
:rolleyes Uh huh, yeah sure, Char, it was "by accident." :lolQuote:

The only musicians I've ever met where the guys from Good Charlotte and New Found Glory (both at the same show). All of them were really nice though.
I met Alanis Morissette in Saint John, NB.....she was so amazing. I found her very down to earth. Nice girl. :)
Cool thread...
MMM lets see...Ive talked to Adam Durtiz on the phone (lead singer of the Counting Crows) I use to work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a Berkeley Hospital and the Chief of Neonatology was his father! He would call here and there...lol His dad would gossip about who he dated..(Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox)
Met Lars Ulrich (of Metallica)..and his wife...very very very sweet couple.
Met Mariah Carey..at Spa Radience in SF...so so nice. very pretty too.
And when I was in Maui a couple of years ago..I stayed at the Grand Wailea..and laid next to Steven Tyler of Aerosmith (GOd i love him) He was there with his wife and kids...very nice..we talked a bit...gorgeous man..lol
I've met a few more ....I post later...:)
I actually met Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins once when I was at a Tower Records here...it was cool,he was friendly but a little strange...
If I ever met Tori Amos, I would die. I would. I would fall out and shrivel up right at the tip of her shoes. I love that woman.
The closest I ever got to her was 15th row,and that sucks!! :phhht
I wish I knew how to meet her! Anyway,great stories guys,keep 'em coming. For those of you that have met Tori,tell her I said hi! :teeth
