I understand, still, the same philosophy was in play...There's this wonderful concert playing in front of me as well. My primary goal, that night, was to meet the Reinharts and deliver my gifts was met. If I got to meet Haley (which I didn't expect) it would be the cherry on top. So much had to go right for things to play out the way they did. I was worried I would have nothing to report other than who performed what.... I didn't expect what ended up happening and am very grateful it did.
No expectation = no disappointment
If this was the 'first' time I'd met her, then maybe I might be less 'in control' (If you recall, in Spokane, my first meeting, I came in ready with a question..if she was doing Carnegie... and was so stunned at meeting her, it completely left my mind, so I had to wait until she was done signing for everyone for me to ask 
)
....but this turned out to be my fourth (and longest time spent talking with Haley with no bodyguard/security pressure to 'move along' like in Spokane, LA and Chicago...although Chiara might disagree .... I also finally got a good clear photo with Haley...so the best meeting )
... so maybe that played into it. I just knew I wanted to be respectful and the chips lay where they might...the fates were kind and allowed me an extra 'adventure' to make my Carnegie trip just a little sweeter 
Tusk you did great and we all love your story telling! Im sure the Reinharts
appreciate that your respectful and thats why they are so friendly and nice to you, and others. I also think Haley realizes its the fans that have gotten her this far and it's part of the game to be "nice" to them (us).
I do agree with you that it may only take one "bad apple" or over zealous fan to change how they approach fans.
(I hope Haley and her folks don't ever change.)
Hey can't we see your video? I would love to check it out. There's a lot of compelation videos out there from fans of all sorts of things. i used to follow Shawn Johnson, the gymnast who won 4 medals in the olympics in 2008 and there were tons of videos that fans would make using pictures and such set to music.
Please Tusk??
Im sure its great. Why would it get taken down....
