i don't know what show you're going to be at, but anyone else going to birmingham academy; these are your best bets at meeting anyone: bottom right of the stage where the barrier ends is where ive met about 3 people, walking out of the door, but make sure you run over as it doesn't take long for other people to catch on. ive spotted a few hanging around the bar, but no one i was too interested in meeting. and as the merchisin like a box and usually massive queues i havent seen anyone hanging around there but it's good to look!! i cant wait!! and haha at me just posting that as a new thread.. cor.. |

I'd like to believe that everyone here is already smarter than this, but I've gotta be sure. I've seen a lot of people with this strange notion that a band will somehow magically appear, *poof*, at the merch table. Being the one running merch and having a crowd standing in front of you, blocking the people who actually want to make a purchase, this is annoying and ridiculous. So, out of kindness for the business end of this matter, just remember that they use doors like everyone else, so you don't have to clog up the table, which would leave you unhappy anyway when you notice everyone else talking to them first. |

Oh yeah, that too. I've mentioned in other threads (just not this one) to stand NEAR the merch table, but not to block it so that people can actually ... you know, buy merch. It's not a sure shot at meeting the band, it's just a nice general location to start if you need one. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I say... hang around for ages before. well, about an hour. or after. At the larger venues I don't imagine they'll be watching the band from the audience's view. I've met (or could've met, had I had the nerve) plenty of bands at venues where there's like 200 max. because they just hang out, you know, in the main bit. maybe at the merch stand. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

If HE is around then we must all take special measures and call upon the rocks with Ludo.

Seems they like Starbucks a whole lot. I would stake out the closest Starbucks to the venue. Of course now that I said that it will never work.
