Jane2 ~ That's certainly what it sounds like. And yes. It is VERY scary. Assuming it's not the same person.

Could we have a sock of a sock of a sock here?

Yeah... This is too weird coming from someone who just joined today. Or claims they did, but are just posting anonymously.

I would like to note that it is particularly creepy because it seems that the sock of the sock took the time to get the title of the show wrong to seem like a new theatre-goer. Oy!

CoolKid not smart enought to create an alias. Or to write that cohesive or LONG of a post.

now I am in horror to the op.

WHY would you want to engage in ANY sort of conversation with that child?

I am now all sorts of UGH.

Well, leaving aside the issue of who Agnes of Kid might be, I agree with hushpuppy's advice.

And I think it's pretty easy to pick up on a don't-talk-to-me vibe if there is one.

Boy, following the twists and turns in this thread is giving me a headache. Obviously, it's time to start a CoolKid fanclub.

For those still back on the original subject, as a producer in Los Angeles I often encounter celebrities (even in bathrooms at movie theaters. They have to go, too.) I have found the best thing to do - and often a relief for people who are famous - is to simply treat them as you would anyone else. Would you strike up a conversation with an unknown stranger? If so, that's the way to go. Most celebs have a lifetime full of attention (and often unwanted attention) and a moment or two of normalcy can be comforting. The other thing to do is just treat them like normal folks while acknowledging their success. They will usually appreciate this even more. Most "stars" have friends who treat them as normal people. If you do the same, this will put them at ease. For instance, I would have perhaps simply said "I've been waiting a long time to see this show" and see if the person decides to pick up the conversation. If not, just let them enjoy the show. If they don't respond, be polite and leave it alone. You can always look them squarely in the eye, smile and as you walk away, say "Love your work." That's usually enough. Just treat them like a distant family member - with warmth but respect.

Guys, don't feel the troll.

Is Coolkid not female?

And yes this thread is freaky!

Maybe the OP sat next to the long-lost and missed Margo Channing.

Here's the thing...

The "closing night tickets" thing screams coolkid. But the fact the OP claims to be a big fan and this person is handsome and photographed suggests a performer.

What if we one day discover that coolkid is Cheyenne Jackson or [insert other handsome male performer here]? That would be both hilarious and wrong. Actually, mostly just wrong...

[dramamama611]

Cool Kid is male. On a fan board somewhere he actually uses his real name. (Which I will not divulge because I would feel forever guilty when he turned up strangled.)

I am just trying to be respectful by not divulging the identity of the person in question and someone cries 'troll!'

This isn't Harry Potter! Trolls do not exist in reality! It was just a question.

And, no, I am not coolkid. If I were I would be too busy masturbating to come post on here and ask my innocent questions.

Like no one ever masturbates in front of a computer.

Oh please. Typing one-handed is time-consuming, but far from impossible. :P

But the keyboard would get sticky and difficult to use.

this thread has really gotten so strange.

And your sig gives it a whole new level of hilarity. XD#

weez- there is no way coolkid is cheyenne jackson. If he was, the proper etiquette for approaching coolkid wouldn't be acknowledging your respect for his work briefly and leaving with a kind word, it would be bowing in awe of his overwhelming hotness and trying not to faint. When the show is over, you may proceed to throw yourself onto the floor so he can walk on your back and thus the soles of his shoes will not have to touch the floor. Once he picks up the phone to call the nearest psychiatric hospital or the police, you know its time to leave. :]

For all other actors/ famous people, taking the advice of allofmylife is probably the way to go.

HA! well called, Weez.

"Oh please. Typing one-handed is time-consuming, but far from impossible."

I got a voice activated computer, thinking I could keep the hands free (for, you know....) and the damn voice on the machine machine started shouting "Hey what are you doing with those hands.... don't you TOUCH me after that, you pervert!"

So I went back to magazines....
