Yeah I just ended up having them sign pics I just randomly turned to. Funny thing JLB and JR were both surprised at the Images portion of the biography...asking something akin to "what version is this? Ive never seen this?"
Particularly JR because the page he signed was when he joined and it had an old pic of him.
It was fun and neat. But I felt rushed but could've been me being me. Did get a bit starstruck but not much. I know they're people too and pretty funny as well.
Myung was Myung, and JP was really talkative. Asking how we were, I said "Ready to rock" he said "Thats what I like to hear."
Good you seem to really enjoyed
I enjoyed greatly too, I felt a bit rushed but not because we are being rushed its just I lost tracked of time. I was not able to talk much to Jordan because when I saw Mike Mangini there is no one infront of him so he has nothing to do and when he made I contact he smiled and wave at me and ask me
"Hey whats up" "What album do you want me to sign?"
I was not prepared for that I thought they will be too busy signing others stuff but damn I choked and I just said hi and I made him sign the Images and Words sleeve, I was still infront of Jordan so I just said thank you to Jordan and move on to Mike, Mike was saying something like "Oh wow do you want to sign that book too?" he was referring to my Awake Guitar Tablature so I just hand it over to him and I said thank you.
Even though I am not suppose to have him sign it but its like I don't want to disappoint him or something so I just say yes please. Oh and I am not really prepared that they will really interact like that. As for JP it seems he is kinda super relax and just being himself and I ask him a quick question " I ask him if he ever played classical guitar pieces like in a real classical nylon guitar and it seems it kinda caught him offguard and have to think for a couple of seconds and he replied "oh nope sorry but I never played classical" and he replied "do you?"
That is where I got starstruck more damn the Guitar God just ask me back if I play classical guitar and that is where it got awkward I was not able to directly answer the question and I just mumbled something and said "ah yes but I am not really good at it" I think he felt that I am really feeling awkward and he just said "oh uhh okay" And I just thank you and move to James.
Oh my Like I said I felt rushed because I think was not able to compose myself and I moved kinda fast really a great experience though, I would certainly do it again even though I think it is overpriced.
I think it is really just better to bring two items since you are only allowed to have them sign up to two Items per member. I planned to have them signed different album covers per member so I brought like 5 items total. Like I only plan JP and to sign the Awake and I&Ws guitar tabs and have James and Jordan Labrie Sign Scenes from a memory and I&Ws and John Myung to sign the Awake albums and for Mike to sign the tour poster
It got too complicated when I am already there and I end up only getting one signature from Jordan and John Myung.
