Wasn't too long ago that me and the wife would go to an Arlo show in San Diego. After the show we' d go out back, lean on the bus, and shoot the breeze with Arlo 'til the wee hours.
Now I'm reading about "scheduled discussions"? Man...

The times they really are a changin'.
:(

Arlo still makes himself available to fans after most shows to say hello or get an autograph or photo. As for scheduled discussions or receptions with the artist before or after a show I think these are determined by the venue and are more often then not fund raisers. Don't know how much say Arlo has in these. of course I imagine he could always say No!

I was randomly reading posts in different forums to get a feel of the board, and where I might fit in.
If/when I come across it again, I will be sure to remember to bring it to your attention.
It wasn't a big thing at the time...
Blah, blah, blah..."and a discussion wil be held at 6:15 to..." blah, blah, blah.

Good one, Goofus!!! :lol:

The symphony hall in Chicago as a fundraiser has VIP tickets where, in appreciation for paying extra fror the ticket, you don't have to find the bus. One thread that touches on the subject is sample

They tried the idea at the Spring Revival at the Guthrie Center. I think it was wine and cheese before the show and front of the line to visit with Arlo after the show but nobody was turned away.

I remember that. It was no discussion with Arlo but instead a discussion about him, Woody & folk music hosted by some local folksinger guy whose name I forget. We talked to him & he seemd like a nice guy who liked Arlo & Woody. It was interesting tho...

That discussion was with a guy who went by the name of "Mystr Tree Frog".
He had a free CD that I picked up...it's a home made one, and it's copyrighted by a J. Brayton.
The CD was ok...not what I'd choose to listen to...there's a lot of drum machine in there. It's gonna get recycled next time there's a party at Folk Club; they'll take unwanted CD's and give 'em out as door prizes at the party.

I think the purpose for the discussion wasn't so much to discuss Arlo and his music but to try to create an audience for his own stuff. He had a lot to say about himself, his life, his music and being raised in a commune; not so much about anything Guthrie.
