My first thought was “so?”.  The few times I’ve been to a Homecoming, the GVB has not been at their table.  That’s one reason fans go, isn’t?  To meet their favorite groups?  And the last time I saw SSQ at their booth, I had something to give them, but “they” just shook my hand and turned away.  I ended up going back later and giving it to a young man at the booth.  I e-mailed “them” later and expressed my disappointment, but never heard back.  The only time I’ve seen any commoners talking to anyone in GVB, is if they can catch them at the stage before they go wherever it is they go.

I thought the purpose of the table was to sell product. Some tend to get annoyed when they can’t get near the table to make a purchase due to those just standing there ogling the artists. When the Homecoming tour stops at the Palace of Auburn Hills the GVB tables may be set-up in 4 different places around the concourse. And yes, you don’t see any of the performers at the table yet people are stending 8 deep at every table. Even at the NQC many artist avoid their table area on days they’re due to sing.
I personally don’t go to concerts to “meet” the performers but to hear them sing and perhaps pick-up some cds. I’d just as soon let them initiate conversation.

I’m always curious as to why people come on these boards and start off with “I just read on the Singing News website”. We ALWAYS give the same news on our front page. Why go to another site to read the news, when you can read it here and comment on it here. Go Figure!

I have often wondered that myself. I hardly ever go to Singing News first. You reports are often more in depth and sometimes even quicker. As far as “front page” stuff that I’m not interested in.............I don’t read it. Most of the time I will click on “News” then “Message Boards”

I agree.  However, I got an email from the SN, or maybe it was the NQC, stating this news before I checked this site.  I check my email more often than any other site, so any group or organizaton that has me on their list and sends out an email is usually where I get the info first.  So, I’ve probably also been guilty at times of posting something after it was already posted on the SGN front page.

I am probably the worst about going to the SGN site and immediatley going to the boards page without reading the front page news.  I do believe that the news here is better than the SN site.

Now if SGN would just get a magazine going...............
