I've met him twice -- with SweetSurrender in Temecula and once in Las Vegas.
In Vegas, we had about a five-minute conversation, which he kept going by asking me questions in addition to responding to mine.
Much of the band had come out into the lobby to meet Matt Rollings' mom and stepdad and friends, so there were people milling all over that he could have talked to, but Glenn kept talking with me about his respect for MK and things like that. It was so cool.

How could he not be friendly to you, with such a charming lady?  :D

It must be great memories, and the pictures captured the good mood that obviously was around that event. It must have been during the Shangri-La tour back in 2005, right?

Temecula was 2010 Get Lucky only if memory serves.  Never played there before.

Wow, LE, thank you so much! Very kind of you to say such things.
Yes, it was 2005/Shangri La in Vegas. Temecula was the 2010/Get Lucky tour.
I also saw MK in Vegas in 2008 and 2001.

Knopfling, the photo did turn out great.  The one you took for me turned out just as good.  I still couldn't forgive myself for stopping to get something to eat that day , which caused me a missed opportunity to see Mark stepping out of the car and walked through  that door. >:(

Temecula was indeed the best memory of all for me.  A handshake from Mark at the end of the show was more than I could ever have asked for.  I was sooo taken  emotionally !!! It was such a sweeeeet memory every time I relive that moment.

Sweet, I'm still way jealous you got that handshake from the stage. MK never does that!
But I'm still happy for you.
Next time . . . !!!

Post-concert Glasgow 2001.  Mark was sitting in a BMW 5-series waiting to be taken to his hotel (perhaps) while he signed things for people who had waited patiently until about 00:30/01:00 when the band finally started coming out.  He signed my tour book too.  Oh, and I met Glenn briefly just before Mark too who gave me his signature on a setlist!  As has been said before, a gentleman.
