I was just giving my opinion.. not addressing what I said to anyone in particular.. sorry you took what I wrote personally Sorry if I implied that I was personally offended by your particular comment -- just used it for a reference for why I asked the tour question in the first place. It's all good. Yup all good... I love reading what you write..

I just wanted to do a quick de-lurk to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I don't post very much, but I am here every day enjoying all the amazing conversations between people that I've never met, but feel I know. I have to share this, because no one here would understand the way my fellow Adamtopians/Glamberts will. After staying up until stupid o'clock watching the stream from Adam's NYE show and listening and watching our fantastic guy who sounded and looked better than ever, I looked forward to the videos and photographs yesterday. I though he looked amazing, loved the sparkly jacket, the shirt, the hair, the face - in fact everything. And then, dragging myself away from his face, my eyes focussed on the brooch in his lapel and there I think was the gift I gave to him outside our local radio station in Glasgow in March 2010! A traditional Scottish thistle kilt pin with an amethyst stone set in the thistle head. I am truly shocked if it is the same one, the last time I saw it it was wrapped in tissue in a gift bag and Lane looked after it whilst my friend took a photograph of me and Adam - hence the avi. I don't feel this way very much, but I feel very special right now - Adam can probably have anything he wants at this moment in time and he chose a wee gift given by a fan for such a special occasion. I'll away back into lurkdom again but I'll still be here every day. Love to you all!! OMG - I would just die. You know he has a way of remembering his fans -- people have written about him "remembering" them from other performances, etc. You just know he picked up that pin and remembered. SQUEE!! Evie I am grinning from ear to ear for you! How special! Happy New Year!

I thought this was so true after the concert one of our fellow Glamberts was reading this to me she thinks it came from ATOP.

The 9 Phases Of Post-Concert Depression
For any rabid music fan, there’s a sort of grieving process that follows an event as momentous as seeing a favorite band live. It’s often referred to as “post-concert depression” around the web, and it goes a little something like this.
Phase One: Euphoria These are the remnants of what you felt while standing front row, singing (possibly crying) along to your favorite song. It enfolds you into the night, past the merch table and onto the sidewalk where you’ll either choose to battle traffic, or wait by a fence near their bus hoping your favorite musicians come outside to say, “Hello.” Euphoria will extend if you do the latter.
Phase Two: Reflection You will take a moment to register everything that happened–either loudly with your friends who were there or quietly on your own. Some people choose to use this phase of their post-show life to write a review or to upload photos. During this phase, you may find yourself writing grandiose statements about how your life is changed forever, or how yes, Fall Out Boy can save rock and roll and you’ll take that to your grave. (Too much?)
Phase Three: Realization Wait. You just said this show changed your life. At this moment, you will take in the full weight of that feeling. And here’s where the sadness starts to set in: You start to realize you’ll never experience it again and that all the photos and descriptions in the world can never, ever really capture the beautiful thing you just experienced.
Phase Four: Reality The next day, you will return to your everyday life, which will seem exceedingly inferior after the night you just had. You may just go through the day-to-day motions and wonder, “What’s the point? This isn’t life. Last night’s show–that was life. That was being alive. This is merely living.”
Phase Five: Feeling Outcasted To cheer yourself up, you may find yourself grasping to go back a few phases to “reflection” and share with people who weren’t at the show. Most humans will respond with a half-hearted “Oh, that’s cool” or “Sounds fun.” And it’s just like, “But you don’t understand. It was so much more than that!”But what it means to you is impossible to articulate.At this point, you realize no one understands you, and the people who do aren’t anywhere to be found, probably because they’re at a show, which leads to…
Phase Six: Stalking Okay. Maybe the people who immediately surround you don’t get it, but there are definitely friends within the fanbase who do. You want a second taste and you’ll live vicariously through others to get it. You hunt down your friends who are going to upcoming dates, Twitter list them and refresh the shit out of that list continuously until the night is over for any sign of photographs or a glimpse at the show. You scour the Tumblr tags and YouTube and creep on the venue and tour staff–anything you can do to just get a teensy peek.
Phase Seven: Lack Of Impulse Control You realize your lonely lifeless existence can be sated only by more of what put you in your current predicament to begin with: a show. You may find yourself on LiveNation, looking at that next date seven states away thinking, “Yes, this is a good idea.” And, you know, I can’t argue with that. You might spend money (like, a lot of it) to feel alive again… Wow, this sounds like an addiction. Holy shit, do we have an addiction?
Phase Eight: Acceptance Yes. We have an addiction, and yes, we’re going to go to that show seven states away, because we can justify it. What if this is the last tour for a long time? We can’t wait that long. Here, you will either buy those tickets and repeat the cycle, or realize that circumstances are out of your hands and that you’re just going to have to tough it out until next time.
Phase Nine: Living Eventually, all the bad post-show symptoms will fade, and you will be able to look at your photos from the show not as soulless reflections of a night you’ll never have again, but as memories, and those memories will sustain you. Until the next time you more than willingly put yourself through this torture again.

I googled this whole incident to get information of just what was going on and I've decided to delete my post because I need more solid proof before singling somebody out.
