well... not to defend Paul but imagine yourself in his place. You see thousands of people each week, you run your own label, you got business affairs to take care of, home that you rarely see, in between you got to produce new material, sign new artists, review tracks for your sets, check into hotels, fly around the world, yada yada yada. As fun as it seems to us, it gets old and quick. Besides, based on what I know about Paul, he's not a very social person. Part of it possibly has to do with being German and also shy.
You think you know him but he doesn't know you. you think in 30 seconds he'd become your best friend? Invite you over for some weinershnitzel bbq and beer over his pad in Germany?
don't think so. also, listen to Eminem "Stan" to get a hint.
I also happen to know that quite a few musicians - be it rock, electronic, etc. are usually not the most social bunch. And make no mistake about it - he is there to sell you a CD, yet I doubt he gets much more than $1/cd. So, he sells 2000 CDs. He made $2000 for like 2 hours of his work... not bad but that's like chump change for him. I think it's a rather nice gesture of him to have these events to meet the fans.
Also, ask yourself how would you feel if you had to shake hands and hug and smile like a retard with thousand strangers? He may have been jet-lagged, he may have had sh!t runs from eating at Manhattan Taco Bell infested with rats - who knows? Don't judge him.
Besides, as someone pointed out - the cult of the DJ is retarded and insane and you deserve no better. Musician worship - ok. DJ worship???? stupid.
