Stevie is Staying at the hotel I work at. What would you do?

[diamondsnake]

This is tricky because it is a hotel and you don't want to bother her during her downtime. I mean you could probably get fired if you approached her as a fan. Or maybe not, who knows?

Wow!!!! This is hard! Just do it! This is a once in a lifetime chance!

I wouldn't be able to resist!!

Sod it, it's only a job ...

Rose and a note sounds like a nice idea.

ohhhh the possiblities...they are surging through me.

I would quickly gather enough rope to scale and anchor a board to the building...I would gather a waterpail and any mop I could find...I would hoist myself quickly up towards her window...and sit there very quietly...careful not to call attention to myself...somehow...then I would just gaze...when she slipped from her sweatpants into her fineries...I would pretend to lookaway while gathering every sensual detail to report properly to the pervs.

I used to work for the Marriott, so I know your pain. When Aerosmith stayed there---well I've already told that story. I don't know what department you work in, but if *I* were you, I would ask either the GM or whoever in sales booked her room if you could send her a note. The Marriott was adamant about not approaching or even acknowledging famous people. She deserves her privacy in a hote. But still...it's STEVIE!

Somebody who wants privacy or just isn't in the mood to be approached by a stranger.

Stevie quite easily blew off a number of people who were trying to say nice things to her at the '98 AHI post-concert party. Even when she was getting into her limo, a fan had a nice sign saying I Love You or something like that. Stevie looked at it, then looked away and got in the car.

Not dissing Stevie here. There are just times when she's not going to be responsive.

I think a little note is the best idea because it is unobtrusive and there is no obligation for Stevie to return any communication.

Somebody that hears it from 90 percent of the fans that approach them...



If she is at the hotel, I would probably respect her privacy. No way would I walk up and down the hall way awaiting her. It's her off time and unless she gave me a signal that it was ok to approach her, I would not bother her.
The note and flower is a nice idea.....although I am sure she gets those quite often too.

This reminds me of an episode of I Love Lucy. I can just see Lucy and Ethel sneaking into Stevie's hotel room pretending to be housekeepers. Of course they would be wearing some ridiculous french maid outfit! Maybe you could hide in one of those room service carts (under the table cloth) and sneak in that way. Heeheeeheee!!!!

Because you work there, you shouldn't do a thing unless she came right up to you for whatever reason or was at least in earshot of quiet conversation. Then you could compliment her on her talent and her career.

So all you Stevie fans are saying that if you saw her in public you wouldn't approach her? Where else are you going to see her, walking her dogs down yuor street? I had the opportunity to speak to Stevie TWICE and I was so awestruck and I regret that I didn't atleast say hello.
You only live once.

I didn't say anything like that, and remember we are all approaching this with the idea of seeing her at a hotel where you work. If I saw her in public, I would decide what to do then depending on the situation. I doubt I would disturb her at all if she was at a restaurant sitting at a table with friends.

If she were walking her dogs down my street, I'd definitely approach her. If she were surrounded by her entourage, I'd probably think twice about approaching her. There's no doubt that I'd be awestruck, but I'd always respect her boundaries. I'm fine with admiring her from afar.

I used to work at NBC - and whenever a favorite star of mine would be in the building promoting something - damn straight I'd by walking the floor to grab a glance. I met Michael Palin of Monty Python - one of my idols that way. You have a reason to be there - and they see you as a professional and an employee who happens to be a fan.

Go for it!

Walking her dog down the street is different than walking the floor outside her hotel room. I dunno..a hotel is private, its her time and I would respect that. I also would never approach her if she was sitting in a restaurant eating but if she was sitting at a bar? That is different. I really think she respects fans more who give her a little space.
