If you bring a gift,make sure it's something simple and is in plain sight. These days,it's just not a good idea to approach a famous person (no mater how nice they are) with something in a bag or even wrapped.
If I got backstage,I'd most likely just bring two more LP's for signing. I'd just like to hang out with Gordon and shoot the breeze.
I think gifts are something the ladies would do and besides,
I'd only give a gift to "you know who".
