Wow! You guys are amazing!Just curious. If you get a pre-show M&G, do you still try the stage door post-show?
The most shows I ever did in one year was 13. Interesting that that was the year I was kinda burned out and said I wasn't going to travel very much. Went to what I think (without looking it up) was the first show of the tour. This was where the girls came out in the audience for the start of TAR. I was on the end of the 2nd row. Lisa L was on my side. She sat in an empty seat next to me! That's when I fell in love all over again!I figured out that I have been to 36 different cities for shows; 84 total. Then, there's another bunch where I went to see Chloe after she went out on her own, plus a couple shows Lisa Kelly did as well.
Going back to the "old" M&G, the girls would sign things for you. I have signed tickets, a Mairead Fiddler Crossing sign, and a bunch of photos. The most interesting is a t-shirt from 2009. They did 2 shows at RCMC. I went to both and got 4 signatures. It was luck that I got another M&G later in the year and got whoever was the missing girl! Another interesting story was after Chloe was out on her own. Saw her at an Irish bar in Jacksonville, FL. (Note -- that's where I discovered I like Irish whisky). I had gone to a number of CW shows with my daughter and Chloe had met her and asked about her at other shows. My daughter was graduating from college about a week after Chloe's concert. I took a card and asked Chloe if she would sign it for my daughter. Not only did she write a very nice note in it, she gave me a T-shirt and her CD for my daughter!
I have a meet and greet on March 1st in Fort Lauderdale and I'll let you guys know how they do them this year. Can't wait to see this tour!
So a package showed up today from the Fort Myers, FL PBS station. Key paragraph:This meet and greet will be a signature and photo op experience, we want to provide you with the best experience possible however we are at the mercy of and must adhere to each venue's specific requirements and constraints in terms of space backstage and the time allotted.

It was after the show. They had it in a room somewhere backstage. Even had coffee and cookies while waiting for the girls -- in this case Chloe & Mairead. My daughter was with me. She was 16 at the time. She was very shy. Chloe did an absolutely wonderful job of putting her at ease! Over the years, we met Chloe a lot. She always remembered us. Several times when I was by myself, she even asked about my daughter.Did another M&G in 2013. Same venue. The photo op was in a stairwell!!

Is it possible some venues will do them differently than others??
Obviously COVID changed everything. Going back maybe 10 years ago, I was at a M&G in Tampa, FL. Had a post-show reception sponsored by the PBS station. Wine!!! Chloe and Mairead were sitting behind a table signing things. I was one of the last ones in line (hey, wine!). When I got to the table, Chloe recognized me, got up and walked around the table to give me a hug. PBS lady running the M&G about had a heart attack. Then, Mairead did the same thing.
Last Friday I had a PBS meet & greet in Fort Lauderdale. They brought us into a room that had lots of tables and food, so people were asking if the food was for us but it was just where the cast and crew had eaten earlier. All four of the ladies were there. It was pretty much the same as meet and greets that we had pre-covid. The ladies stood in a corner and everyone lined up to say hello and take a photo. Gregg & I kept letting people go in front of us so we could be last. Their tour manager has seen us plenty of times and he lets us have plenty of time with the ladies. We each got to chat with all four of them and we weren't rushed. The corner they were in was kind of dark, but the photos still turned out nicely. It was before the show and they were in their first act dresses. We had a great time!
