If I were to try to meet Jon, I would prefer to do something related to the charities he supports; he seems passionate about those, and it would make me feel good and useful to help others. While there would be no guarantee you would meet him, at least it wouldn't be in the formally-constructed fan club setting if you did.
I also know of a girl who happened to meet Jon at a club in Nashville, when he was talking to Billy Falcon off to the side of the stage. According to her, Jon was gracious and chatted with her a bit, and seemed in a good mood.

Very true. If you want to meet Jon, the fanclub is really not the best way. If you want a fairly good conversation with him, meet him at another revenue. With the fanclub, it's 5 minutes max or even less. Very quick because they are trying to get through all the groups and you can't really ask him a question.
Not all but some of the women, greet him with a kiss on his cheek, so after a while, that gets annoying to him. A friend of mine who was a previous fanclub event, said that when it was her turn, she just shook his hand and he looked at her surprised and said thank you!
The best stories I have heard are the unexpected meetings, when you run into him at a club or restaurant but definitely not with his family. I remember the story of the fan from the last tour in Dublin from this board. He was with his fiance and they meet Jon and he looked happy in the photo with them.
