Point: given that I was mainly in NDP for the M&Gs, and now they are going to be CASUAL and INVOLVE ACTUAL CONVERSATION and that sort of intimidates the hell out of me (DUDE. I PREFER THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A TABLE) is it worth renewing my subscription?

I mean, on the one hand: MAGNETS ABOUT ZACK.

On the other: probably I am never going to even TRY to get into a M&G again.



*ponders*



(Yes, my Saturday is all laundry, fic, and thinking thinky thoughts of no great import. How is yours?)



P.S. Has anybody renewed since the split? Do we know whether the package is still Pretty-ish magnets that say "Ryan" and "Jon"?

I wouldn't even BEGIN to do m&g now, omg. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how Zack figured going more casual was a good thing. Maybe because just having the two of them is easier to handle?

The more I hear about fan interactions from the split the more I think they really do think all the crazies were Ryan's...

Excuse my intrusion, but what happened? What did people do? I've heard something about it but no details.

Apparently M&G are no longer a line going past a table and then a picture; instead, they turn you and the boys loose in a room/garden/whatever and they wander around and make conversation with you and sign stuff and do pictures.

At the ComicCon event Brendon asked for a group hug, for pity's sake; and he and Spencer both spent hours doing a sort of dance party thing with the fans after the set.

I mean the crazies:)What did they do?

I'd rather keep my distance, too.

Pre-split? Well, if Zack's "Don't Be Creepy" speech is anything to go by: asked to smell their beards; groped Brendon's ass (MANY TIMES); gave them cookies with HUMAN HAIR mixed in (not, like, a stray accidental hair, but deliberately chopped up short hair mixed into the dough like nuts or something); refused to let go after a hug and had to be pried off by security, kicking and screaming...and those are jus the things he offers as examples. Brendon says in the Live in Denver dvd that he's had girls offer to do all kinds of freaky sexual stuff, too.

OMG, crazies indeed! Jesus, I'm having difficulties imagining girls groping guys at a M&G. It takes a special kind of poeple to do that.

On the other hand, I'm sure they will quickly be proven wrong, so...maybe I should renew on spec? They'll go back to tables and sanity once there's a bad incident, right?

This idea terrifies me. Them having a bad incident, I mean. I know I like to fictionally hurt them and all, but in real life I worry.

Oh, yipes, I didn't mean anything like that! I meant, like, a repeat of the "smell their beards" incident.

FREAKY, RIGHT?


I am v. v. jealous of your seeing them perform, though. SMILE AT DALLON FOR ME, K?

I re-upped in March or something but I'm really glad I like the t-shirt and magnets so much because god knows I'm so not taking advantage of the M&G stuff now. :D I don't want casual conversation! I had enough problems when Jon made me stop and talk about the thing Brendon had signed for me.

Is their knowledge of fan psychology THAT BAD, or are we just weird because we spend so much time thinking about them having sex with each other?

IDK, probably a little from column A, a little from column B. I'm not generally good around people I don't know, no matter the context, but especially not when I have good reason to be nervous around them.

People on patd keep saying "Zack says they'll keep it this way!" like it's a great treat, and I keep going, "OH MY GOD, WHY??"
