Haha, I don't think I ever heard that story with Paulie! Priceless!

Great article, but there's one too many commas. XD j/k. Great job!

Haha, I wish I had had your starstruck section before I met them at ACEN last year. I decided last second to go up to the table, and I wasn't really prepared, so I was a bit of a bubbly mess with Karen Ashely. ^_^; I got my senses about me with the other two though (JDF wasn't there yet).

Thanks. You can never go wrong with too many commas.

Good article! It really could apply to meeting all celebrities, in general, not just Power Rangers...

Totally! But since this is on a Ranger news site, I had to add that spin. :)

I very much agree with t_antares. This applies to every celeb. Well said!
I like horror cons because they are so low key and it's easy to mingle in social settings. My favorite experience was sitting in a bar having Guinness with Michael Berryman and we were talking about stereo equipment for a good hour. :)
It's true--they don't want to talk about their jobs if they don't have to!

I don't even want to tell you what a freak I became when I met the singer of my favorite band though. I think I scared him. I was...unprepared for how starstruck I became. *embarrassed*

I think we are all allowed to turn into a pile of goo because of being starstruck at least once! I know if I got to meet someone like Leonard Nimoy or William Shatner, I would probably act VERY starstruck.

Nice article :)

I think celebs are aware that sometimes people freak out a bit. There's a difference, imo, between people who don't recognize boundaries, and those who just have a 8D;;;; moment. Celebs can tell and are generally forgiving with people who get flustered.

Definitely though they prefer to have a regular, human conversation, lol. With just a dash of idolatry. ^_~
