Are the boys still taking time to meet the fans on this tour? American Fans do you have any stories about meeting them this time round?

I've read a few stories about fans meeting them...... I think the tour bus is the best bet? I dunno, with the UK shows they hung around afterwards.

Are you wanting advice on how to meet the guys?
If so, I agree with Prickley. Waiting by the tourbus is always a good idea...or indeed the backdoor. - The buses are usually around the back anyway.
That's what I done in glasgow and they came out after about 30 minutes.

Are you wanting advice on how to meet the guys? It wasn't advice about meeting them I was after, it was more like stories and experiences from the US tour that is taking place now. Have any of the yanks on the board had a chance to hang out with them recently? |

Yes, I've met them 3 times now...and thats still not enough. Haha, Im seriously addicted to those boys, they're what I want to be...so I guess I want to be around them as oftem as possible in hopes that they rub off. The first time they didn't say a word, they just signed stuff and looked pretty. The second time was amazing, hung out for hours...unforgetable, and the third was chilled, a bit chatty and friendly. Im 99.8% positive that we'll meet up again after the next few shows we're headn to. Im very, very excited. But, yea, for sure, I'll share as much as possible with out giving too much personal detail as soon as I get back.
~ Cheers ladies and gents.

Ok, so, went to three shows this week...had its very highs and very lows. They fucking rock live, and that will never change. They played the exact same set list at each show, and we didn't hear any new material...but they are playing Head To Toe. Did run in with the boys, again..first nite was great, Jared was really sweet; he sounds like a valley girl for some reason. Nathan was pissed the whole time, barely said a word. Caleb was his usual laid back charming self (tries to be polite to some extent)...nothing major, and Matthew was, as usual, a social butterfly leaping form conversation to another. And of course, Nacho was very sweet, and attentive. All Spectacular. They're still rockin' but they've been touring for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long...you'll see that its getting to them, I honestly don't get why they've just added a ton of other dates, they're never gona get a minute to breathe. Especially with "Us" obnoxious fans always about hasslin' them for attention...j/k. The U.S. crowds are becoming more like the UK ones...the last show in Toronto was the first time I've ever had to have a security guard pull me the fuck out before I got crushed. Luckily I have only bruises and cuts...my friend got a fractured rib...all for these "frat boy, ball cap wearin, beer guzzlin' mother fucks" who didn't even know the words...but that didn't stop them form beltin it out in my ear.
The Shout Out Louds fucking kicked ass! One of the nicest bands you'll ever meet, also the silliest. If you don't have their CD get it, or haven't seen them live, go to their shows!
The guys in Helio Sequence were real sweet, and very polite.
Secret Machines, as always, were amazing, and terribly kind...truly, you wont meet a more candid, genuine pair of brothers..the drummer is cool too.
I wish the Kings would take a major vacation so when they do come back they'll be cheerier, and perhaps a little more ballsy on stage, like before.
It was an experience, no matter what the negative, I always pull it as a learning experience so...screw the bad, and focus on the good.
Anyway, hope this makes sense and inspires you.
You stay Classy Happy Alone.

They've all been on edge and clinging to one another. By the end they just wanted to be with family/friends, got annoyed with fans...so, yea, just be as polite as possible if you NEED a pic or somehting signed. Otherwise I wouldn't expect much else. They're very tired, I feel bad for them...constantly traveling and never being "Home" is a demanding stress that they shouldn't have to deal with anymore.
I really want them to end their insane touring so they can relax. It made me feel like a jerk the third day...saying goodbye to them all...the hugs weren't very enthusiastic as before, they just want to be left alone now after shows, which I respect and completely understand.

well, you know that college tour they've been plannig to start...I thought it would be after all the festivals, after a nice break...to begin a new tour...but right after the festivals they begin their new tour...cuz their coming to my home town on September 20th, and Im in a College town...OSU.
WHY God!? Why?! Dont get me wrong, I love that they're coming, but not if they're gonna be pissed and fed up. Give them a Vacation! A year maybe...live a real life for a while.
After the 20th, it will have been the 8th time I've seen them....Craziness!

I don't know yet, but when bands say Campus tours its usually well established, lasrger colleges.
So I knew they would hit my town, OSU is the second largest Campus in the US.
