    Sounds about right for the listening party. Small venue, but not too small.

    You did have the correct scoop. I happened to walk by the Croc earlier today myself. I was told to not even try to come by during Happy Hour. I 'm sure dmbolp will give all the details tonight after his grand prize winning event!
    I will not lose my Faith, it's an Inside job today....

    Studio X

    After a drink with some of the winners, I am VERY excited for the album...saw Tim B having dinner when we were walking to the bar, tried to wave but he was in 'deep conversation'.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Meet point was the Croc, there was no sneaking into this event, but the Croc bar was always open to anyone. Your name had to already be on the list. At about 5:30 they walked us (about 40 of us) over to Studio X. Best described as awkward/awesome. Pizza/salad/cookies/soft drinks served. 40 chairs facing 7 empty chairs on a slightly raised stage. At about 6:15 they played the album over an audio system. At the end we all applauded...no band in sight. Then a game of musical chairs where the winners were sent to assigned seats in the first two rows, and guests were sent toe the back rows. We were handed cards with our questions printed on them. Band walks in at 7:15 and the first winner asks his question. All 16 winners ask their questions; some neat insights from the band. 8:15 and questions are done. Groups of 10 are brought up to take a photo in front of the band. We get to interact with them for a few seconds. I ask Eddie where they are playimg tonight, "Ummmm, uhhhh, we have a big day tomorrow, have to go to the dentist". We are all ushered out by 8:35, Eddie pulls away in his car. Cool to see them in that environment, but would have been better the see them play a song.

    not to spoil your experience, which I'm sure was great, but I do think they could've at least taken the time for something more than 10 people group pictures. that's not what I'd imagine a meet & greet to be like, and they NEVER do this anyway, so a little more time on an occasion like that would've been manageable I think.

    anything interesting regarding questions?
