I did not go to this show but I just want to say something. People should stop being upset that they don't get to meet Chris...especially now that the band is performing in bigger venues. It was more probable for him to come out and meet fans when they are doing small venues; but if that were to happen at one of these big events, Chris would literally be mobbed. The band is in huge demand right now and Chris is only one human being. I'm sure he wants to meet everyone he can, but he also has to look after himself first. He is very grateful for us and just because he doesn't come out doesn't mean he is a different person or doesn't appreciate us! I know I would not want to be mobbed by hundreds of people pushing, yelling and doing anything they can to get near me or touch me. C'mon. Chris' job is to perform shows and that's it. If you do get to meet Chris, consider that icing on the cake. He does a lot for us by leaving us blogs and thanking us any chance he gets. There's only so much one person can do and you shouldn't be upset that he can't come out and meet with everybody at these bigger events. It's simply impossible to meet everyone. I've been a huge fan since 2005 and have never met the guy. I spend hours upon hours voting for him on the countdowns and he doesn't even know of my existence. But I love him and know he appreciates me. I don't have to question that at all.
