I generally look down on groupies. People chasing celebrities just to get a spark of their energy, or a moment of fame because someone who IS somebody spoke to them.And yet there I was at the After Party for National Treasure II.<\/div>\n
Thinking it pretty boring, I was about to leave when my friend suggested we head towards the middle where there were more people. I almost missed Ed Harris walking right past me, and then spotted Nick Cage and John Voight in a knot of 50 people. At this stage I was still adamant I was \u2018above it all\u2019, but I gravitated towards the stars just to be at the centre of this celebrity-nova. And then it happened.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As Nicholas brushed right past me, a voice that wasn\u2019t mine said: \u201cAre you spent, or could you do one more photo Mr. Cage?\u201d A few words with Nick, a few words with John Voight, and then it was all a blur until I came to and found myself hugging and posing for pictures with Wonder Woman (who by the way was just a darling, and had very nice things to say about red heads).<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Now I think I\u2019m hooked. I had such a good time I\u2019d like to go to more of these functions \u2013 to see all the hype and pomp \u2013 to play with it \u2013 to see who I connect with. And to get pictures with people simply because a lot of people know their face. Oh my God, I\u2019m a groupie! Where can I get help?<\/div>\n
Oh, how\u2019d I get into the after party?<\/p>\n

I asked. As people left the theatre after the premiere I asked them (a lot of them) if they were going to the after party. Eventually a couple said they were too tired and going home, so I said: \u201cOh, my friend and I are short two passes if you wouldn\u2019t mind us using them\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
