Regina Spektor Plays Guitar Hero II

| | Comments (6)

Well, you know, um, I mean. She did. Tonight. On our guitar hero guitars. She did the uh. Tutorial? And then the uh. Whatsit? The uh.

I don't remember the first song she played.

But AFTER that she played War Pigs. And she totally rocked out and it was fun and funny. And I don't have pictures or video because I thought it would be weird and kinda creepy to even introduce myself, so when I set her up with the guitar and Karen taught her how to play, I mostly just pretended like I didn't know who she was. And I think it worked, because she didn't recognize me as the editor who was editing stuff she hasn't even seen yet.

I worry, I think, a little bit too much about on-or-near-the-job celebrity interaction. But I have a hard and fast rule that I have yet to have a good reason to break: totally pretend like you have no idea who they are. Which does not mean walk up to them, introduce yourself, and ask for their name. Treat them like you treat any other stranger in the room. Only talk to them if you have a really, really good reason.

My rule is to emit the smell of cookies. When they come and ask me if I have cookies, I scream and run away. Works every time.

My rule is to stand behind them while they play guitar hero and inch closer and closer and cast sideways glances at their famous and therefore godly faces. Then I tell all of my friends that I stood very very close to someone famous. And by friends, I mean that homeless accordian player at Union Square.

my rule ask them if i can sketch them, and then try to sell them my artist's rendering for a special "celebrity discount."
