Hey!
I have heard people reference that they have recieved an autograph, met Jimmy, etc. at a meet and greet. He probably does not, but does Jimmy do this before every concert? Or are they just promotions put on by local radio stations?

Thanx!

The only time I've ever "met" Jimmy was after a CIP opening when he was on his way to the car. Some people have met him at M'vill locations.

That is so cool, I wil keep my fingers cross when we go to Key West, FL.

I think the majority of "Jimmy meetings" are just happenstance. In other words they were just in the right place at the right time. I get the distinct feeling that Jimmy's "people" are really tight-lipped about when and where he shows up. Obviously to avoid the inevitable huge crowd. If he were ever to schedule a "meet and greet", he'd be meeting and greeting steady for a few months. (Hell, I'd be there!)

I swear the corporate mantra is "you all know before we do." That was the response I got from all the people I have met. That was also the response Mac gave my friend when they flew back to Nashville.

I was just watching the extra footage on Tuesday, Thursday's & Saturday's and Savannah said that he takes the last half hour to do a meet and greet before the show with fans and old friends in whichever city he is in.

That would probably be for corporate sponsors etc. Normal backstage passes dont have a meet and greet time.

Jimmy does do Meet & Greets as I was involved with one last summer. It depends on the tour however. Because RCA/Nashville had such a large promotional campaign for LTC, Jimmy was doing them in each city during the tour. Like most artists, some of his tours will have M&G's and some will not.

Hope that helps!

When I met him at CIP in Indy (not the private show day), the radio station hinted at it, but we have all been lied to before so nobody got too excited. I was getting ready to leave when I saw a small limo pull up to the hotel next to CIP. I walked calmly (sprinted ) over there and sure enough a large bodyguard came out followed by Jimmy. None of the restaurant staff knew until about 10 minutes before he showed up. So I do believe it is Happenstance and luck.
