When I arrived in Cleveland this afternoon, I went to Tower City (a mall-thing). I stopped in Borders Express, and popped out quickly. I walk by Casual Corner and... BAM! Chauntelle, Sherri, Stacy. I paused for a minute, than continued walking. Because I didn't want to harass them.

They were walking out of the store. And I am no stalker. Plus, it was a girls' store. And regardless of the fact that I was wearing eyeliner, I don't wear girls clothes.

You are very correct. I would have done something like that. It would have been awesome.

Pantheon4 showed admirable restraint by not imposing on the DuPree girls' privacy, although they would no doubt have been gracious. As a fairly new member of the Eisley fan club, I was astonished at their accessibility described in many Laughing City posts. Sherri did the stage talking in Cleveland, my first Eisley show, and her complete lack of pretense confirmed everything I've read about the Eisleyans being "just folks." Still, as she points out in a recent journal entry, a lot of meet-and-greets on top of the demands of touring can be wearying.

There is something appealing about a really talented band that hangs around their merch table after a performance and makes posts on their forum. Some fans understandably want things to stay that way. Others, as we've seen in the recent calls for Eisley appearances on national talk shows and Saturday Night Live, want the band to increase their exposure which will naturally lead to greater success with music sales and headlining shows in larger venues. As Eisley becomes more popular, it gets harder for the band members to remain so accessible. The disappearing Xangas and reduced after-show hobnobbing illustrate what can happen when fan attention becomes overwhelming.

Based on their collective persona, I think the players will always be relatively accessible regardless of their success. I hope, though, that all the stuff that accompanies increased popularity doesn't interfere with the musical development of the band. The music of Eisley, after all, is why we first came to this site.

Sometimes they come into Hastings... it's hard to not jump up on the counter and start screaming "OMG ITS EISLEY!! THEY JUST CAME IN!!! LOOK EVERYBODY!! OMG!!!11!!!!one!!11!!!!"
...and then proceed to hyperventilate and pass out on the floor.
