What’s the etiquette (or strategy) for approaching someone famous?
The Civil Wars were sitting about 4 tables away from me last night at dinner. I instantly recognized the duo. I instantly wanted to go speak to them. And I instantly broke into a visible sweat just thinking about starting a conversation with the band that has made my daily commute to work a musical slice of heaven.
But what would I say? What would anybody say? The detailed account of when my friend Tyler met Michael Cera began to reel through my thoughts. “Surely…that wouldn’t happen to me!”
I didn’t move. I sat in my chair, finished my Bad Penny, enjoyed my fish taco, and thought reluctantly about the gabfest I could be having with Joy Williams and John Paul White.
What would have you done? What are some good opening lines?
I would have grown a pair, seriously Jerry.
Jerry. Do u know what ur problem is? Not drinking enough when u go out.
