Find his tour bus and hang out near it after the show. Once a small crowd forms he'll usually open the door and sit on the steps of the bus to meet people and sign stuff. Last tour there were a few shows where, for obvious reasons, he didn't feel up to doing that. But most often he'll meet fans after shows. I've seen him twice and met him both times. :D


What Robbo said. I've been to 6 of Matt's concerts now and 5 of those he made himself available to fans afterwards for signing and the time he didn't was when he'd just had his teeth chipped after a really rowdy crowd pushed his mike stand into his face, so he wasn't feeling very sociable. Just loiter by the bus and he should come out to sign things :)
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

More shows added. No Kingston yet. More to come in the days ahead.

I'm not pleased.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
