A quick note from the opening monkeys: the venue actually scheduled the show to start at 7:30–we may have had the start time listed wrong on our respective websites, as we go off what’s written on the show contract, which is occasionally not right. (there’s a little peek behind the curtain for you) And by my recollection, we hit the stage about 7:40, a 10-minute delay being not too unusual for these things.
As to the encore, it was one song because we were all a little tired, and the audience felt a little tired (maybe not an accurate read, at least for some of them, but it’s an inexact science), so Jonathan didn’t want to press things too much.
Sorry your son wasn’t able to stay for the meet & greet–as a parent, I totally understand–but didn’t want the accusation of rudeness to stand where it wasn’t warranted. We ARE quite rude, just not in this case.
Best,
Paul.
