LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- "Star Wars" fans will have to find the right theater before they can leave for the dark side. 
It's a conspiracy!
It's a conspiracy!
Which leads to an interesting question:
Have you ever been such a "fan" of something that you did goofy things like that? I mean, for kids and teens, yeah - that sort of silliness goes with the territory. But I'm talking about, like, these adult Star Trek freaks who dress up, learn Klingon and can quote every line ever uttered by William Shatner so they can be the toast of their annual convention. Stuff like that.
Fess up - anyone ever been a
like that?

I threw toast and acted like an idiot at "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" once.vraiblonde said:Which leads to an interesting question:

ONCE??? When I was in high school we used to go to the midnight movie every Saturday night in costume, toast and squirt guns in hand. But we were teenagers, not adults with jobs and kids and mortgages.Kain99 said:
So come on, people - I know at least one of you has to have some unhealthy obsession with an actor, actress, band or show. Nobody has had plastic surgery to look like Jennifer Aniston? None of you have quit your jobs and devoted your time to stalking Green Day?

In 1997 I drove w/ my friend to Philly for a live PPV Wrestlemania event. It was great! Did the VIP thing prior to the event and then went w/ them back to their hotel bar and partied all night long. Best part of the night .... sitting on Stone Cold Steve Austins lap and and feeling his bare shaved chest and legs. :sigh:
I love working for cable!!!!

Hell, I dropped out of college to follow bands around the country. I still have the ticket stubs to prove it, +/- 200 to one band alone. I had an absolute blast doing it, and met some amazing people, too.
I wasn't a backstage groupie or anything, but simply a huge fan. The positive experience was compounded by the opportunity to see lots of familiar faces, participate in cool tailgating parties, dancing our fool heads off, etc.

There you go! THAT'S what I'm looking for!BadGirl said:

Sorry - if you'd quit your job to stalk the wrestlers and left your husband so you could be free for Stone Cold, THAT might be a good story.CableChick said:

If you want more info to support the wild ways of my prior life, I can provide proof of the times we made counterfit concert tickets, when we sold crap out of our trunk to support our concert-going habits, the time I made it behind the stage to a Rolling Stones concert, the time we kidnapped a friend and forced him to take us to Madison Square Garden for a GD concert. And how can I forget the time I quit my job to go camping up to Maine for three weeks so I could go concert-hopping up there. And the time I hooked up with three guys a week after meeting them to go to GD shows along the eastern seaboard.
My memories are flooding back. I so wish I could do all that stuff again.

The summer that Lee Greenwood played at Pax, my sister hooked up with his lead guitarist. Doesn't count for me but I know someone who knew someone that hung around with someone famous.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
