I Blew It.

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?
