Isn't is fun to idolize someone? No.

For those who don't know, Quentin Tarantino is a normal here in Austin, Texas. If you live here, chances are you've at least seen him once and you've probably talked to him.
It is also good to mention that Robert Rodriguez is also a normal in Austin.
This is mostly due to Quentins love for Austin and the Alamo Theater. Quentin has a film festival that lasts for four days in April, where he shows all of his work, followed by a lot of Q&A. Anyway...

A friend of mine is a waitress for a place called Papasitos.
Quentin Tarantino and Rose Macgowan came in to eat there.
The entire time they were there, nobody else was getting service because the manager was pressuring every waiter and waitress to make sure Quentin was taken care of.
As they were leaving, the manager, in a stupid voice says, "We really love what you guys do! Keep it up!" She did this in an obnoxious fashion, and everyone heard.
When Quentin and Rose left, people began to complain that they didn't receive service.
It is also good to note that Quentin and Rose gave the manager a dirty look.

Ok, first off, Quentin and Rose are just PEOPLE!
They are no better, no worse.
So, why focus all of your attention on them?
Why bother them with your stupid questions?

I honestly think that if you were to ever meet someone famous that you liked, I would think that it would be wiser to give them the kudos they deserve and let it be.
you know, something like, "I appreciate what you do", and move on. If they initiate conversation, you have the ok to ask questions.

Just don't idolize.
The famous people probably get annoyed by it, and other people will probably think you are a moron.

Umm... I think that's it for now.

Hey Tex,

Is Antones Home of the Blues still alive?

Thanks

Antones? Oh, hell yes. They are still living and rocking.

i agree they are just people

Idolize me please, that damned ol' puddy tat...

Know who the owners are now? Usta be friends of mine back when I was half my age.

in neil peart's books he always talks about how scary some fans can be. they sneak backstage and pressure the one they idolize into singing something or follow the bus after a show... in his book traveling music he says that a fan put a bag of beer outside his room one night after a show. he took the bag in his room and then the guy called his room and asked "did you get my present? do you like it? we're friends now right?" and a bunch of other stuff and so peart got angry and said something to the effect of "well if you were my friend you would know i don't like beer" and hung up or something. some people are SCARY!

I honestly don't know.

Yeah, because Quentin Tarantino is a hack who makes worthless juvenile movies.





Heeeere we go... gonna get some unkind words stuffing my inbox again...

I don't mind his movies, He does seem a little bit like a dork (as an individual) but then again, he's dating rose gowan (mcgowan?) and I am on an internet dating site...so..er, I'll shut up now.

I can agree with what you said.
His movies just aren't my cup of tea.

quentin who...

This is very true, I worked in the town Patty Duke lived, in fact, that building she used in the short lived show where she was a female pastor was the church I grew up attending. Travola's sister lives in the same area and it isn't uncommon to see him around. Some with a large number of other people. Just treat people as people. It goes a whole lot farther when dealing with someone.
