First time poster on this thread, long time lurker, but I had to post regarding the Duke concert, after reading about excessive traveling and how Adam hasn't been meeting the fans. I think someone wrote how a couple of girls drove up from Georgia to North Carolina, but I unfortunately win the prize for traveling the farthest, because I flew down from New York. In my defense, my friend from Duke had been begging me to go visit her, so when I saw Adam was going to be at Duke, I decided that was a good weekend to visit.
Like other people said, Adam told people he would take pictures and sign autographs after the Q and A, but after Larry came out and a decent amount of time had passed, someone made an announcement that he wouldn't be coming out. Which definitely disappointed the whole auditorium, and me, since well, while I know that meeting him afterwards is a bonus, I had dragged my Rent (so sue me. I didn't have his other shows) poster and his cds down with me to get signed. To make a really long story short, I ended up at the stagedoor with about a dozen other people after questioning a couple of employees about where it was. My friend from Duke, meanwhile, had been tagging along with me all this time, and frankly, hadn't liked Adam, so she was annoyed that he had said he would come out but didn't, since she knew how much I wanted to meet him, and well, didn't really care what he thought of her. All of us are standing around, freezing (b/c that weekend had to be the one time it snowed in NC), and my friend got fed up, and well, opened the stagedoor, looked around, and went inside. I'm thinking "WTF is she doing?" and other people are talking and she still hasn't come out, and I'm picturing security throwing us off the premises or something, when the door opens again, and out walks my friend with Adam. I almost died. Apparently she found him and told him that I had flown down from New York, along with some other stuff, and he said he would come out. I got my stuff signed, got a pic, a hug, and he thanked me twice for coming so far. So thanks to my friend, I met Adam. I'm pretty sure if we just waited around, he would've been rushed to the van.
and for all those who want to hear the new song, it should be up on adam-pascal.com soon
