Hi everybody. I'm going to see AKUS tomorrow night in Park City, UT. We are bringing our 3-yr old son who is in love with Alison. When we told him we were going to see her he was ecstatic. He asked 'is she going to wear a pink shirt and sing special songs to me?'
Our boy has always been a huge Alison fan. I rigged up a special speaker that we attached to my wife's belly when he was in the womb, so he's been listening to her since he was as big as a kidney bean. We took him with us to the Great High Mountain Tour at Red Rocks. Thru blind dumb luck, we ended up with front-and-center seats- about 15 feet away from the performers. When AKUS did their numbers, my son was mesmerized. There were a couple times when Alison seemed to look directly at him and he thought she was singing 'special songs' individually to him. This touched him deeply and he talks about it often. When that concert was over, he asked if he could give Alison a hug. I did a little asking around, but was unable to find a way to meet & greet that night.
Does anybody with a little more experience with this know if/how I can arrange a short meet & greet with the band after the concert? I know some artists have fan clubs where paying members can stop backstage and shake hands. If AKUS has such a club I'd be willing to join up so that my boy (and me) can meet them. Is there anybody I would contact (her label, tour producers, etc) to ask about meeting them? I wish I would have thought about it before now, but this would make my son so happy. I think if he had to choose between going to Disneyland and meeting Alison, he'd choose Alison hands down. I would love it if even he could tell her hi personally and shake her hand, so if anybody knows what I need to do to go about finding out how to do this, please let me know!
