THIS JUST IN

BREAKING NEWS: I need to know how to stalk a celebrity. I swear if I catch them I'll be gentle. (so gentle that there's a 97% chance I'll pass out before I ever approach them and a 100% chance I'll die happy, right on the spot, if they speak to me) Is there anybody out there who knows how to stalk?

ETA: I just asked a large group of fangirls if they know how to stalk. If nobody answers me, I'm gonna LAUGH and POINT MY FINGERS and CALL YOU WUSSIES! ;)

I only know how to stalk through google alerts. Does virtual stalking count?

[eponine119.livejournal.com]

Google is my stalking tool as well.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Um, Megan, we have to talk...

I am leaving you...for Google.

[eponine119.livejournal.com]

I would cry, except...how can I be sad when I know you'll be so happy together?

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Sure it does - I have like 2 weeks before I'll ACTUTALLY be stalking. I can research like mad!

[emiliglia.livejournal.com]

Do they have a Twitter? Because then they'll pretty much do all the stalking for you - LOL.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

How do I find out if they have Twitter?

[emiliglia.livejournal.com]

There's some website that lists authorized ones but I can't remember what it is because I haven't used Twitter in so long. I got bored with it.

If you have a key to a hotel, then you can hang around the lobby/pool/restaurant without being bothered. You can also get a free continental breakfast making up for the cash you had to slip to a bellhop to get the key.

Conversely, taking a sketch pad and pencil into a hotel and explaining that you're an art student looking for a place to sketch can give you the ability to hang around hotel lobbies.

This is the best reply I've seen because it involves actual, HANDS ON stalking. And bribery. Any lying your evil little head off to get your way. I tried to do this in the lobby of the Peabody in Memphis and no one threw us out, but we never saw who we were looking for. We did get to see the Duck Master parade the ducks up to their palace on the roof, though. And you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you. It's a thing that people only know about in the Deep South and then if you don't know about it you get banned. From the South.

Sadly, I only seem to stalk well at theaters.

I know the ducks! I stayed at the Peabody on a high school trip to Memphis. Speaking of stalking they were filming The Firm at the time and we kept our eyes peeled for Tom Cruise.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

If they were filming, I guarantee he was staying there. Though they probably hid him with security guards and stuff. But you know the ducks!!! That maked you are an Honorary Southerner.

I went to an art college in Georgia and we had a big film festival every year. So their was a fancy hotel downtown where all the guests stayed so it suddenly became the place everyone had to sketch for class that week lol.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

The Peachtree. Am I right?

[bittersweet325.livejournal.com]

LoL...It was the Marshall House, actually, in Savannah.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Aw, wrong city. Savannah is SO much nicer than Atlanta, I'm glad you went to college there. :)

I think the internet is your friend in case of true stalking, people post their plans on twitter and etc all the time. lol who are you stalking?

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Yes, twitter seems to be the place to be. Now I just have to figure out how to get there. I'm stalking...don't laugh...well, I *am* going to Dublin so it's understandable, aye?...U2. But would 50 year old men have Twitter? Or is that only for you young cool types?

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

well I never stalked per se, but if I see a celebrity I want to speak to, I go right to them... works very well for me! lol!

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Then I will bring you with me to Dublin. I know a bar they own that we can hang out in, drinking Guinness, for however long it takes them to show up. Excexpt by then we'll be too fluthered to see.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I was wondering of who had a bar in Dublin, but I just read above. I'm on.

I'll be waiting for my plane tickets.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

ACHUNG BABY!

If we wish hard enough, it could happen. When you wish upon a star....

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

You make me giggle! I know nothing about stalking, I'm afraid so have no concrete advice, but I do wish you good luck! ;-)

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Well, your icon makes me giggle so we're even. ;D Thanks for the good luck - you know that's like a magic charm in Ireland, don't you? So now I have to meet them because you said the magic words!

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will! Tell them I said hi (even though they don't know me from spit!) and my favourite of theirs is 'All I want is You'. *warbles madly*

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

All the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave... *harmonizes nostalgically*

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

IF YOU ARE GOING TO MEET U2 I've met them all they are super nice, just go up and talk to them, seriously, or they'll come to you, that's what happened with me :)

and don't be surprised when you realize how small bono is in real life. :)

Considering that I have managed to walk past Prince William without even realising, I am the last person who can offer advice on stalking!
