Meet Green Day at Hot Topic in LA

[Guest Hayley]

It's pretty expencieve but I think that if I lived there I may would give these money.

[Greenday_Aussie]

Would anybody be interested in getting something signed for me, I will PayPal you the money, fuck I'll do a bank deposit if you want. What are these bundle things? I know it says one autograph, but you can at least try!

[04rebhop]

Ack. I wish i didn't live in the UK. They never do signings here!

[MassHysteria]

Someone on Idiot Club said that they weren't letting people line up until an hour before the signing. We figure people will be hanging around anyways, and some people are going to meet up before hand. Anyone here interested?

I personally WAY psyched to get to meet these guess, and $30 to me is a small price to pay for that experience.

[IzButt]

Maaaan I'm so jealous of all of you going Have fun for me please

Couldn't get one in time. But.

I've got some plans that made up for it though(even though meeting Green Day would be the ultimate thing to do for me) and I wouldn't miss what I'm going to.

First off, if this is a thread that needs to be closed then so be it. Either that, or please move it to the appropriate section...

As many of you know, tomorrow is the meet and greet at Hot Topic in LA. As some know, me and my friends have our own music that we created with 4 other kids, and we've done quite well. We've been getting promos from labels, and have interviewed several bands already. We were recently linked by Rolling Stone magazine - and this is all within an 8 month period. It has been a ton of hard work, and it's a tough industry to break into (music media, seeing as so many sites/blogs/magazines already exist).

Getting to the point, I wanted to get your thoughts on an idea I had. I was considering having my friend (who helps run the site) - ask Billie Joe at the meet and greet if they would be interested in doing an interview for our site - one thirty beats per minute, and just explain how we are a group of kids who run this site in an industry that is tough to break into. I think, Billie would be cool with the fact that we are sort of the under dogs in the media industry, but that we are pursuing our passion. But to take it further, the idea would be - we would ask if they would be interested in being interviewed, with questions from their fans. So we would go on here, and take a bunch of questions from YOU guys - and then do the interview. So an interview basically done by the fans.

What do you guys think? Is this a bad idea? Would it be rude/bad of us to ask this at a Meet & Greet? Your ideas/thought would be appreciated. Don't worry, our feelings won't get hurt if you think it's a horrible idea. I just don't want to embarrass ourselves by asking, if it's a dumb idea.

I've merged this with the Hot Topic thread which I expect to start heating up (pun intended) now that it's so close!

I don't think it's a bad idea, but I think it's the wrong place to ask, personally. Since this is a meet and greet they're only going to have a certain amount of time with each person. I doubt he would even be able to take in what you were asking him because it's going to be a pretty rushed thing. But you could always get the details written down clearly with a quick run down of what it is you're asking (and obviously contact details, too) and pass it along, in a sort of "it'd be great if you could take a quick look at this" way - and just see from there.

Good luck anyway

That's good advice. I was thinking the same thing about it being a bit rushed, and the way Billie's brain works, he'd be thinking about a bazillion things at once, including all the people in line behind you.

I think mentioning it briefly as handing him the details in an envelope for him would be a better idea than trying to exchange all that info at a meet and greet.

[Kate Austen]

Thanks for the advice guys. I thought the same thing after I posted that. They prob are really busy too - and it wouldn't be fair to the people in line behind us. Maybe I can try the envelope idea, or just giving him a letter that has all the details.

I guess it's worth a shot. =p

Of course it's worth a shot! The one sure thing is that nothing will come of it if you don't even try. Go for it .

[J'net]

So I know Kate Austen and amy_runs are going to this signing, and I expect some good photos and stories . Who else is going from GDC?

[Anja]

I guess it's worth a shot. =p

How did Billie say? It´s better to regret something you have done than something you haven´t done

I know of a couple other people going!

[amy_runs]

I'm so excited! It's tomorrow!

[Sharmellow]

I'd spend 30$ to get an autograph and meet them. You don't often get a chance to meet them.

pretty sure you got a shirt and a CD too. So it was really only 10 bucks.

[belinda jane]

lucky peoplee!!!

[TheBullwinkle]

Have fun tomorrow, you lucky bastards.

[IzButt]

Have fun tomorrow! Like I said I couldnt get one in time

I am doing something that made up for it in the end, though.

Please take pictures.

[Prisca]

Have fun you guys!

[Greenday_Aussie]

Could some one PLEASE try and get a signed copy for me? I will paypal generous amounts of money!!

[Guest TwoDollarMellie]

I was gonna take a long ass bus to get the wristband for this thing, but then I realized that it'd be too hectic for me to go back and forth and then back again.

And I'm not really much about meeting the band, just seeing them live is enough for me.

But for the ones going, have fun!

[son]

whoever is going

get a good camera, take far away shots, not personal

take one or two personal items or favorite green day items, high chances of them signing it... or you

ask for hugs

if you can make something for them, they actually will appreciate it, hopefully you read what happened to a gdc member whose girlfriend made them charms, he got billie joe's scarf that is seen in all those photos
