puregoblinboy47 Member	posted June 30, 2008 09:29 PM On Topic, you can try getting a job as a journalist at a tabloid. They always seem to find celebrities at random points in their day.
Our_Benefactors Member	posted June 30, 2008 09:30 PM Sorry - I meant to put these in my other post when I edited, but I forgot. There are actually a few sites that compile info on where celebrities are going to be and what times you can meet them, etc etc. Here's the ones I know of. http://www.celebtowns.com http://www.fametimes.com http://kidneysforcelebs.net

ch3ckm4t3 Member	posted July 01, 2008 11:13 AM EliteMike appears to be a celeb of sorts.
Valmtg Member	posted July 01, 2008 11:15 AM Wow, so mature EliteMike. I've met celebrities and musicians. Most of them are pretty normal, decent beings and get a little uncomfortable when the fan hysteria seeks them out. A few of the others I've met or been introduced to I don't want to be near around again. They seem like elitist jerks tho think the world owes them a favor. __________________ The Goddess of Magic MOTL Queen 2006 D≡P≡CH≡ MOD≡ "The tin man says I'm doing fine" Silver JewelryNew/Returning players guide to Magic*

speechjew Member	posted July 01, 2008 11:54 AM I also met the lead guitarist for the band Anthrax, Scott Ian. I actually saw a show in Vegas the night before where they called him up and he played highway to hell with the house 80's hair metal band. Then I saw him in the airport the next day. Shook his hand, said I enjoyed the show last night. He just kind of nodded and said thanks. I agree with what someone said about most are at lesat plesant when you meet them. If you're sincere and honest and not fanatical, most will treat you with some kind of respect. I'm about three weeks away from meeting a Hall of Fame outfielder. I might freak out a little bit, but mainly i'll be in awe.

implode Member	posted July 01, 2008 12:57 PM The best way to meet celebrities is to know people in the music business (music reps, managers, promoters, club owners) and either get them to help you or get a job in the business yourself. I've gotten the majority of my autographs by knowing the owner of a 1200 seat small club in the area and he has introduced me or just asked they sign a few things for me at sound check. I don't want to encourage illegal behavior from someone as immature as Mike, but if you can sneak backstage that is also a way to get close to musicians. But such practices usually require deception to get in an off limits area. Their are several VERY easy ways to do that (and I won't discuss that here). My best advice is to not waste their time, give them a compliment and ask (not assume) if they are willing to sign a CD jacket for you. [Edited 1 times, lastly by implode on July 01, 2008]
Thanos Member	posted July 01, 2008 01:01 PM Forgot to mention, Bernie Parent was at the urinal next to me at a Chinese restaurant years ago, and no, neither he nor I tapped each other's foot. Sickos.
Filip Cec Member	posted July 01, 2008 01:51 PM I don't get it? Why would you want to meet a celebrity and ask an autograph or shake his/her hand? What's the point in that??? I guess that I could understand if someone would like to have a conversation with a person that he thinks is worth talking to or perhaps, even, admires. But what's the point in having a signature or a handshake??? mah....
