I feel like, for me, meeting celebrities requires a certain amount of apology. You know, palms out, approaching slowly, "Hi there, I'm not here to try to mate with you, I just wanted to say I like that thing you make at your job."
nods like a gothy bobblehead
Yes. When I met the MCR boys, I was hyper-aware of my behavior, and said things like "I think you're very talented, and the show was fantastic". Partially because I didn't want them to feel any more awkward than they already did at the Meet & Greet, and partially because I hoped that if I stuck to comments like that, my brain wouldn't short-circuit and leave me staring at Gerard while going "Holy crap, you're prettier than your photos. Um, wow."
I would love to tour the SPN sets and talk to the production peeps. That would be fun! Except I'd need someone with me to make sure I didn't hunt down the writers and start ranting at them about their lack of occult research.

It would make you look kinda tinhatty to do so, I fear. (And, frankly, I suspect that they do more occult research than any other research, sadly enough.) Plus, they're pretty much all safely down in Los Angeles, as I recall.
although I don't know whether he'd let a person get a word in edgeways.
Misha does like attention, yes?
The whole "take a cruise with the cast of Twilight!" thing *really* freaks me out. I can't imagine being those actors, trapped on a frigging BOAT in the middle of the water with fans. Did they *know* that kind of thing was going to be required, because dude. That is a million and one opportunities for total crazy!fen behavior right there.
There was at least one Buffy/Angel cruise for fans wasn't there? I'm almost positive Andy Hallet's name was mentioned in connection (maybe Lutz too) of one. I don't know if it ever happened but I was thinking about the awkwardness of it at the time.
Then I read that Richard Hatch does one with his fans every year. ::boggle::
I guess you would have to get a cut from the cruiseline according to how many people signed up. Financially it makes sense for them and then also...Free cruise. But yes the idea of someone being trapped on a boat with people who are just there to adore you does make it weird.

Yes. At least this part of it is becomming necessary.
Being trapped on a boat with people who adore you would probably be an improvement over being trapped on a boat with people who hate you. Or your family (in case those two don't overlap).

No, no, he's a shy and retiring little flower. Very Greta Garbo.
giggles
Honestly, he's getting quite hilariously drunk on the adulation, at least if Twitter and Asylum are anything to go by!
When I got to go on the Angel set I made sure I touched the convertible. I may have shaken the hands of one or more of the actors, but obviously it didn't stay with me like the car. I understand you people's priorities.
ita touching the convertible, Allyson sitting in Wash's chair. Yep. Tangible representation of the mythos, something one can touch and feel, however briefly, *in touch* with an idea.
The actors had personalities. Not all of them were pleasant. The car was much more just the show. The car and the script I got to read.
::nodding::
An actor is a person apart from the tale. While they are an instrument for telling that tale, they exist separately. But the sets, the props, the scripts, *are* the tale.

And this is the moment that ita became my hero.
