[Cornered Weasel Subject: [EDA] Re: Backstage Pass or Almost Famous? My experience with the M&G's with Jewel is that it's closer to the 30-second book signings you mentioned. It's great to meet her, get a picture, and say hello. But you won't be having a conversation or any 'significant' interaction. There usually isn't time for that. But if you've always wanted to meet her, go for it, but understand what you're buying. And also realize that when you're standing there, staring at your idol, you'll probably find yourself tongue-tied anyway. :) Just my 2 cents... - --- On Fri, 8/28/09, jewel-digest wrote: Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:50:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Josie Sianez Subject: [EDA] Backstage Pass or Almost Famous? Hey EDAs, I'm trying to decide if I want to drop $250 on a backstage pass (only 1, and leaving the hubby behind since $500 is way out of price range) to meet Jewel, or if I want to buy regular tickets and hope to win the Almost Famous drawing. Has anyone else done the meet and greet? Was it worth the $250 - how much do you really get to see her or talk to her? How special is the experience? I've met people at book signings before for all of 30 seconds, got my picture with them and got to say a few words while they were signing it - is it longer/more intimate than that? I figured y'alled be the people to turn to for advice. Thanks!
