nicholas 1 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Imagine you are in a smart-ish restaurant when suddenly you notice that John Williams is sitting on the next table with a small group of friends. Would you:1) quietly finish your meal as if you had no idea who he was, then leave without glancing back2) giggle inanely and keep whispering about him to your partner3) constantly wink at him and give him thumbs-up signs4) approach him and ask him to sign your napkin5) insist on joining him at his table and spending the rest of the evening asking him questions, despite his constant entreaties for you to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I would probably politely approach him and just tell him succinctly how much his music has meant to me over the years. I wouldn't want to disturb his private dinner by gushing like a fanboy or asking for an autograph.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPFAN_2 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I would wait till he was ready to leave and approach him then. Apologize for holding him up then give him the speech I would have rehearsed the short time waiting at my table. Then start crying for dramatic effect.

AI 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 That would entirely depend on how wasted I was! I would probably leave the poor old bastard alone anyway. I'd give him a high five going out the door perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Haha. That'd be a fun little game, whistle/hum/perform on wine glasses snippets of his various themes and see how long it would take him to notice. He'd probably think the theme from Jane Eyre was a lovely new British folk tune.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus distracting you Williams would have pulled out his magic stick of wonder aka baton, and composed out of thin air something so brilliant your mind would have exploded. He would thank me and offer to score a movie I made. The rest is history. Thank you and good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to disturb his private dinner by gushing like a fanboy or asking for an autograph.Yup, that'd be me, too. I'd want to take option #5, but I wouldn't be able to intrude so much. If he seemed open to conversation with a polite stranger, I'd definitely take the opportunity. But my first priority would be to quickly let him know that his genius has given me inspiration and a great deal of pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
