Some people really have no idea about how to behave in these situations, and it just made it worse for the rest of us.<br />I had the chance to meet them all (where? when? Doesn't matter!), and it was as smooth as possible. No screams, no hair being pulled out, nothing. Just treat them like HUMAN BEINGS for fucks sake, which is what they are (and of a very special kind, I must say) and you will be rewarded with some of the nicest people you've seen!<br />Do I have pictures to "prove" it? Yes, of course. Do I want/have to/must share them? NO.

They even got a baby together. That's why The<br />Cure have been attacked because the thiefs wanted money. But Robert started singing 'the kid is not my son'. Then Fergie felt into tears, just before Lady Gaga ran into the room riding a pig painted blue.

But I always made sure that they were posted AFTER the band had left that hotel, and never posted the name or location of where they were staying.<br /><br />But it wasn't until I posted a few from SummerCure that it was pointed out to me that fans could figure out what hotel it was, and then the band wouldn't be able to stay there next time they played that city.<br /><br />Some of the band have said they don't mind meeting with fans at the hotels. Others don't like it. So now I'm being cautious with that.<br /><br />Airports I'm not sure about. Don't want to hassle them, but really isn't giving away anything, especially if posted after they've left. That's a grey area for me.<br /><br />And it's not that I don't want to post the photos after it's safe to do so, it's great to see fans so happy to meet the band, but if even one member of the band doesn't like it, you can't do it.<br /><br />But one thing you have never seen me post is the flight info and hotel locations.

I agree it is so outrageous of these recent events, but I recall in the past seeing plenty of pictures of certain "fans" in hotels and airports with the band. Why has nothing ever been said about the bands privacy being invaded when these pictures were all over COF. I realize that maybe the "info" was not leaked in the past as it has been now, but it is still an invasion of privacy. I guess it is ok for certain "friends" of COF to stalk. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877016741937691400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-74370926497075123902013-04-08T11:47:53.019-05:002013-04-08T11:47:53.019-05:00I think that's wise, given the circumstances. ...I think that's wise, given the circumstances.
