Seen TDA on This Tour?

Tell us what you think about the new songs, the outfits, Suzanne's mastery of crutches, etc., in this open thread. (Or you can brave our ratty, ad-clogged Bravenet message boards, like Glenn did -- thanks for the kind words!)

Hey!

I saw you guys in Cleveland on Friday at Wilberts.

The crowd was medium-sized and somewhat laid back compared to other TDA venues, but this was okay by me because it gave me a chance to say hello and converse a bit with all members of the band.

I greatly enjoyed the show, as did my wife and kids, and I liked the new songs. Am eager to hear them again.

We didn't get a chance to see you in Johnstown on Sunday as we'd previously planned. Stuff Came Up.

Thank you very much for asking my kids, towards the end of the show, what song they'd like to hear (turned out to be "Dumbass on the Mountain"). That was very gracious of you guys and it made my kids' night; they were very excited.

Now, I did have an issue with one thing that Paul said. Well, not so much an "issue" but it confused me and I've been wondering about it ever since.

At one point he referred us back to the TDA boutique, where we'd be able, he said, to do a "meet and greet" with the band

I'm just a bit confused about the logic of the phrase "meet and greet."

You see, it seems to me that one meets another party AS they greet them, so the phrase may be redundant. After all, if you "greet" someone at the door, you meet them at the same time. (If you know them ahead of time, then you don't even really "meet" them at the door, depending on how you're defining the word "meet." You just "greet"
'em.)

On the other hand, if you look at it another way, it seems very hard to greet someone if you haven't met them first. So maybe "meet and greet" is correct in terms of temporal salutation events after all.

On the other hand, maybe you "greet" someone first, and then, as you talk and get to know them, you then "meet" them. So maybe the order of the terms is logically reversed to what it should be.

Anyway, after considering all this for quite some time it seems that the only thing that can be said for sure is that there is room for confusion in the phrase "meet and greet." So I was wondering if someday you could write a song that clears up the nuances and ambiguity of the meaning of that phrase.

Eh, well, if you don't get around to it, I understand.

Thanks,
