Re: Hey guys =)

Hello to you too.

I saw Joe last week in Springfield, MA and met him too. It's very easy to do. Just find out where the bus is parked and head there right after the show. There were about 50 people waiting with me in Springfield and he took the time to sign autographs and take pictures for every single one of them. Good luck!

Welcome Night Blues! Joe is super fan friendly as JPrzech says. Hang by the bus and you'll get your chance. If you have a guitar you want signed, bring it too.

Re: Hey guys =)

IMHO, Best to do is call Alex or Rachael at J&R Adventures and get on the list for the meet and greet prior to the show. Yea it's fun to stand out back by the bus, and, Joe is a cool dude and super gracious, but let the man alone after the show. He needs to unwind like any other person. Again just my humble opinion.

Stay Safe

Re: Hey guys =)

Hey Night Blues, I wouldn't worry too much about after show congregating, and Spider knows I do agree with him, not debating need for winding down.  Actually Joe may wind down long enough "backstage" that he has many who will move on from assembling-I've seen after show crowds that only build and those that can quickly dwindle to a precious few. But as you are flying the gear head flag, pre-show is best to get the questions out and get up front and personal with his gear and setup which is a few thrown switches away from going live, if you catch my drift.  But to just say hello, drop a quick compliment, shake hands & get a guitar autographed (and likely a nice comment), after show is ok too.  Be mindful of the time of night and the next tour date (tomorrow?; 2 days away?; think how far away for driving either case, etc.).  Good Luck in any case, and a big welcome to you!

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Re: Hey guys =)

Thanks rocket for your words and advice, getting to see his rig up close and in person would be a religious experience at the least  lol
