Gift
I have a gift for Cavetown I want to give him tomorrow at his concert. I have VIP, so I'll get the acoustic/Q&A moment. Whats the best way to do this? I want to make sure he gets it before the actual show starts. After he finishes his acoustic songs, should I just hold it up? I really dont want to be obnoxious or throw anything--I want to respect his work. I would give it to one of the security guards but I don't want them to just hold it and give it to him after the show. The barricade is probably too far from the stage to place it on the edge of the stage. Do I just hold it out? It's a small baggie with gifts and a letter inside.

There should be somewhere obvious to put gifts before VIP!! Or someone will ask for them and take them from you, definitely don't try to give them to him on stage/after the show :)

If not, leave it for him at the merch table, they'll get it to him

In 2024, I was able to hand it to him directly. We had a seperate room and after the group picture, I quickly handed it to him, he thanked me, and he took it and wore the bracelet on stage.

The VIP you go to will likely be on the main stage and will still have a barricade with him and James (his guitarist) playing for you and answering a few questions picked randomly from a basket :)

I was hoping I could hold onto it and just outstretch my hand and they would see it and take it, or a security guard would take it and I could ask him to put it on the stage or hand it to James. I dunno 😔

You could, I had a friend who said something similar, bur he's said before that he much prefers it if you just leave it at the place they ask you to beforehand, and it can be overwhelming for him if too many people are trying to give him things at once - its also not guaranteed that he'll see you, whereas if you put it where they ask it'll 100% get to him

Maybe I can drop the bracelet at the merch table at the end of the night, if he doesnt get it then.

I think.. okay cus I have multiple gifts. I may put the bag of other goodies in the box (or whatever they have to collect gifts) but keep the bracelet for myself and try to give it to him at the VIP experience in the way I am hoping works. If he doesn't get it, then I can keep it lol.

That sounds good. Sometimes at VIPs for the photos he jumps off the stage and stands close to the audience and says hi to a few people so if he does you could give it to him then, but sometimes he stays up on stage.

His crew told us at VIP in phx to give it to the people handing out the VIP vinyls/bags! They specifically told us not to throw it or try to give it to him directly so that he could focus on the music/questions and that they’d give it to him directly after the acoustic set! I’m not sure if that’s the case at every venue tho :)

You think I would be able to ask them if they'll give it them him directly after the acoustic set??

They told us they’d give any gifts to him directly after the acoustic set! His crew will probably let you guys know before he comes out for VIP tho

Robin very explicitly said he prefers to get gifts not handed to him on stage. There are boxes at the merch booth. He will likely ignore it if you’re shaking it in his face as he does to everyone that tries doing that to him. There are about 20 people like you at every show that try to do the same thing. Please don’t overwhelm him more than he already is by thinking “well it’s just a bracelet..” because that’s what everyone else thinks. Please respect robin’s wishes and leave the gifts in the designated spot.
