(I wondered what the M and F labels were for. )
ntalwar said:Some of these stories don't really match the vote.
IMO:
Going out of town (non-concert), camping out (non-concert), waiting outside hotel = lifelong goal
Waiting outside a concert venue for them = somewhat to very important

If he and Ali had come to Seattle for the big Edun shindig this past week, I would have made an attempt to go. But I wouldn't spend money to go somewhere just for the chance to maybe meet them for like 10 seconds.
Axver said:I'd only want to meet them to talk setlists (especially on the topic of a full electric One Tree Hill in New Zealand). Otherwise, I'm not really that concerned. So I voted somewhat important.

Larry/Adam/Edge don't hate the fans, I think they hate the invasion of the paparazzi.
I agree with this. My desire to meet them increased incredibly once I got online and started reading other fans' accounts of meeting them. Before that, I wanted to meet them, of course, but it seemed like such a totally unreachable goal. But then when you see so many other people talking about how wonderful it was to meet them, you start to get a little jealous, and then you want to meet them so much more.MrsSpringsteen said:I think in general the internet plays a huge role in the lengths some people will go. I don't see how anyone can honestly deny that there is a competitive element to it, that many people want to go on a website like Interference and talk about their meeting or multiple meetings with them. I can only speculate that for some people, it is a bragging rights type of thing, and for some people it seems to make them feel like they are special or more important fans. People shouldn't feel badly if they've never met any of them-and some people do feel that way. I think if web sites like this didn't exist, the interest in meeting them wouldn't be nearly what it is. I knew one girl years ago (on the PopMart tour) who I worked with who met them outside a hotel, honestly it never would have occurred to me to even try. I did on the Elevation tour only because after being a fan for so long, I just thought it would be something nice to experience. Of course the internet also gives fans access to info on how and where to try to meet them.
MrsSpringsteen said:It is public knowledge here what hotel they stay at, it's all over the newspapers I'm talking about doing it once or twice, not making yourself a permanent fixture there. I would think they wouldn't want to be bothered at the studio when they're trying to work either, yet they stop for fans. Same for before or after a concert, maybe they don't really want to be bothered there either- no one knows that for sure but them.
