Well, I never would have believed it...

revidI finally met Adam Lambert! Well, I didn't really meet him so much as got pushed next to him for a 15 sec photo op, but hey, it's better that nothing!
Adam's been doing a radio promo tour this whole month, and of course, he hit 3 radio stations here in SF on Wednesday. Now for 3 years, I've known that the station I listen to does Meet and Greets and performances, and I've also known that you can often buy your way in using points from their rewards club. So for the past few months I've been whoring out my eyes and personal information to Radio Alice, clicking on their links and answering their trivia questions. And lo and behold, I guessed right. They offered up a short performance with Adam in a local club from noon to two and I could buy my way in for 50,000 points! So I did! As my plus one I invited my friend and fellow 'bert' Lisa, whom I first met when I answered her post offering a ticket for sale to Adam's show at the Warfield almost two years ago! I had also entered to win admission to a M&G and performance from another local station that same evening, but didn't get in. Then on Monday, Lisa got the email from them, telling her she was in, so she invited me to be her plus one!
The first show had about 200 people and there wasn't a M&G, just the performance, but Adam looked and sounded great. I was also really stoked to meet a couple of the DJs from the station, just to tell them how much I enjoyed listening to them. Afterwards a bunch of us went out to lunch, then we headed to a bar to meet up with a friend of Lisa's who was also going to the evening M&G, which was at six. The second one was much smaller, maybe 60 people, and I had a much better view. Once again, Adam did 3 songs and answered a few questions. He looked tired, but basically relaxed and comfortable. After that was over, they lined us up for the photos.
I have no recollection of what I said to him; I'm hoping it wasn't too stupid. Of course, I look like ass in the picture, but oh well. Next goal is to actually meet him in a setting where I can have a short conversation with him, but frankly, on the other hand, if that never happens I'll be OK with it. The fourth wall is a good thing, I've decided.
The bottom line is that I love the man's voice and love to hear him sing and as long as I get to listen to him do that, I'm good!
Never Close Our Eyes, off the new album being released (FINALLY) on May 15th.
He's so cool!
