I think if I did, I wouldn't really know what to say. On the one hand I would love to meet him, but it really isn't that important. It may ruin the illusion

Never met... and I don't really know if it will ever happen. I wouldn't have the guts to say anything... but being able to shake his hand and to say "thank you" wuould be more than enough for me!

Maan i've been a fan for yonks, but have never even seen him live. I probably wouldn't have too much to say to him if I saw him for real, apart from "I really really like your stuff, you've inspired me a lot, thank you" but it's not how i usually strike up conversation, so he'd be "thankyou it means alot" and would probably be busy and move on etc etc, if i had a demo recorded I'd definitely shove it into his hand though.

I met him twice on the same day First just walking down the street by pure chance, than at the post-show meet'n'greet. At least in the US, if you wait after the show, he always stops and talks to fans, and you can request/ask about songs, ask about future gigs or just get a hug

Haven't met him yet. I saw him twice this year - for the first time I didn't bother to stay after the show. The second time I finally found a courage to stay but he left the venue early after the show so I had no chance to meet him. I guess I'm not very lucky. ;-)

met him, shane and joel after the louisville gig - we were sitting in an outside cafe across the street when we heard some shouting - of course my wife beelined it like a mad woman and I followed - they came out the front door like 15 minutes after the show ended because damien wanted a 7up!!! How funny is that???!! Anyway they were all great - very cordial and kind - we spoke aboout the tour and he talked about traveling around in the bus - memorable moment! Anyway the three of them went strolling down the street toward Fourth Stree Live.....

Come to think of it, I would probably say something along the lines of "I know you dont take pictures, but can I have a hug?" haha a hug would be amazing!

ive chatted with him twice and both occasions dont strike me as lifechanging in the least
ive seen him a dozen times since and dont feel the need to approach or say anything. usually just a passing smile or a few winks of the eye and a "hubba hubba" i think im sending him wrong signals tho

(at a damien gig in the future) "so theres this ummmm guy and he ummm **pause** well i see him quite often at err **silently thinks**you know, at multiple, different places, and he's always walkin' past me and winkin' at me. and ummm, well, the first time i actually saw this ***pauses, thinks*** saw this person, i thought i heard him say **laughs**, well i mean i could have sworn i heard him say, "hubba hubba" (crowd laughs), but you know i thought, well i ummm, i thought i must have been imagining things, but i saw him again after that, a good amount of **thinks silently** a good amount of time later, and he said it again!

No, that was hilarious! You captured him to the t. I see it now....his next album will be called "H" and we'll all know that it stands for the Hubba Hubba man before everyone else does.

Uhhh, meeting the Kid....
I'm sure I never would, except by accident. And if I did have that accident, of course I'd love to shake his hand, give him a wink, and just say Thanx for re-connecting me to the non-chest thumping world of real reality.

let me just echo what others have said... meeting him is a much bigger deal before it happens. it won't make you feel the satisfaction that you think it will. unfortunately. it was nice though. |

I met him twice over the span of three days, first in Toronto then in Montreal. in Toronto there was a big crowd and as he declined pictures and autographs (very politely of course) I asked for a hug, lol. Then in Montreal there were only about 5-6 people hanging around, so I kind of talked to him a bit more but I didn't tell him I was the girl that asked for a hug in Toronto. ha ha... good times.

My husband and I met Damien, Lisa, Tomo, Shane & Vyv outside of the Beacon Theatre in NYC in May '04.... it was a chilly rainy night, yet everyone was gracious enough to chat with us and sign autographs. My husband actually held an umbrella over Lisa for a good 20 minutes and helped Vyv carry her cello onto the tour bus.

Twice, once very briefly and once what ended up being quite a nice conversation.
They were incredibly different experiences. The first time I met him, he was very open and warm. He was joking around, laughing, asked a fan for a smoke, and talked for quite a bit. Also, he's probably the best hugger you'll ever meet. The second time, he was much more brief and shy. He felt almost stand-off-ish. But he did remember me, so I think that makes up for it. I think the best way to describe him is that he's exactly as you'd imagine. He's just a person and he's about as genuine as a person as you'd meet.

I saw him outside a gig once. He talked for a while to several people. I'm no good at conversing with people I don't know (i never know what to say ) so I didn't try talking to him. It was funny though cause all the girls were asking for hugs, and getting them, and all the guys were shaking his hand, until this kid steps up, awkwardly shakes his hand and then just says "ah, **** it" and goes in for the biggest bear hug. Damien seemed to think it was pretty funny.

Ive met damien a couple times before and after shows. He was very nice and friendly... he did give a great hug too! He drew a picture of "me" and signed his name on the shirt I bought. That was pretty cool, even though he did it for the other girls standing around too
