Scott and his wife Diane with John
Hello! I was "Missing You"--those that couldn't join us for the concert. Well, I had a very interesting weekend all right. Nice to meet fellow online fans Lisa, Doug and Denise. Sorry we didn't spend more time together. The Headlines: Second Show was Awe-Some, two rolls of film being developed, I got to spend a few moments with John at the airport in LA, I spent some time with his manager, Chris, and I got onto the Meet and Greet list thanks to an invite from John himself. Here's the scoop:
Turns out I was on the same flight as John and the band. Didn't arrange it or anything, it just happened that way. The band showed up and John showed up last. He comes walking up with that gait he has, no one around him, no one recognizing him. Anyway, so I'm doing some work (yes, I take work everywhere) and I decided after he got his boarding pass I'd go over and say "hi." I introduced myself, got an autograph, told him I was a big fan, I was going to see him up in Vegas, that I grew up in Vegas and that my dad was a musician there, yada, yada, yada....
We talked a bit about the Friday night show and then his having to jump on a Saturday morning flight, etc. He made it a point to tell me he stopped drinking so morning flights were easier, etc. He asked if I was signed up for the M&G after the concert and I explained no with a bit of details as to why. He said he would take care of it. We made some more small talk, mostly about him getting back out on the road and writing lots of new material right now. In total, I would guess we talked about three to four minutes.
