From my own experience about 5 years ago.  There were about 5 of us waiting for him to go into a TV show in NYC.  He didnt stop, so we waited for him to come out. His assistant opend the door to see if we were still there.  He then came out and quickly got into his vehicle.  I asked politely while the door was still open.  I'll get you next time was his reply.  So I'd say not a very good in person experience!

Steve, that's funny he says next time.  The guy never does any appearances, events, or tours!

I had a one on one with Tom in 1999 and was able to get a 7" signed. But I have been told that he is one of the toughest signer in person.

He's pretty tough, I got him a couple times in Austin 15 or so years ago but the last two times I tried he just walked by.

Ive heard also from one person that did get him before I tried, it wasnt worth their trouble.  Basically a very bad scribble.

Thats what I told him, but he said he waited like 2 hrs in freezing weather for chicken scratch.  I have seen it, its pretty bad, but I wish he had signed for me that night I waited!  Guess Im a bigger fan than he is!
