OUT 925--OUTTOWN EXCLUSIVE--TREY SONGZ MEET AND GREET @ EXCHANGE FOOD COURT/SCOTT AIRFORCE BASE Nov 26

Brooks There's freelance photographer Erica M Brooks taking a self shot with Grammy Award nominee R&B heartthrob Trey Songz who was at Scott Air Force Base in O'Fallon Illnois after Thanksgiving for a social meet and greet with fans before performing at the OMG Tour stop at Chaifetz Arena later that day. The event was not open to the public. It was open to military personnel stationed there and their guests.

Songz was all smiles at the start of his meet and greet.

There were over 300 people who came through and many hundreds who were turned away because of the capacity of the venue. The event started at 3p.m. and at 4 p.m. it was over the capacity.


NOTE: From our report, Trey Songz was a nice guy to Erica Brooks and the other media who attended (the only other media was KSDK Channel 5 and Scott Airforce Base's website ) Before he met the fans, he greeted the media in the Green Room, but his security were a bit "buttheadish" as far as allowing media , to be stationed up front to take pics (even with Scott Airforse Base's photographers!) resulting in almost asking the media to leave. But after some steadfastness and tenacity, the security loosened up and allowed media to take pics but near the side of the venue.
