groupies

last night i met CHRIS CHILDS of amplitude fame...and if you don't know what amplitude is, well, then maybe you suck (go look in the mirror to find out). that's not fair, actually, since if it weren't for my ubercool boy, i wouldn't know about amplidute either. so go buy it and rock your playstation.
anyway...i squeaked several times upon making his acquaintance, and got him to autograph a chimay coaster. and guess what? JP, he was wearing your shoes (the tsubos). i think only cool people cam buy them.
i had a truly teenage experience and i bet this guy, upon hearing my story of 'how amplitude changed my life' and 'how i do all my lab work to the chris childs song on repeat' thoroughly scared him. you, too, can be stalkeresque:

-when you meet someone pseudo-famous, shake your head in disbelief. the whole time you're talking to them.

-squeal and say 'oh my god' with the same frequency you'd normally utter 'um.'

-grin till it hurts

-ask them intimate details about their life and identify, by brand and store of origin, all the cool things they're wearing and say how you were thinking of buying those too (*cough cough*...the tsubos on my wishlist...)

-don't forget to tell everyone around you, 'hey. this is so and so. yeah.' and then point out to total strangers while the famous dude is still in earshot, 'i just got so and so's autograph. yep.

so, try these tips and tell me how it goes. i like fanmail.

and if there are other chris childs fans out there...
you can touch me for a buck.
