so i went to this party tonight where college ids were apparently required. i (of course) did not have mine. i walk up to the door and tell the doorman that my id was lacking. he then tells me that "oh don't worry, i know you go here, i've seen you fucking EVERYWHERE." oh really? i barely ever leave my house. how did you see me EVERYWHERE? so basically, this thread is about falsely ascribed notoriety. have you ever been made more famous than you actually are? TELL US ABOUT IT

better to have falsely ascribed notoriety than to say, "Oh come on, I come here all the time." "Sorry, I don't remember seeing you before."

some drunk guy at some party, came up to me, shook my hand and gave me his band's demo on CD. i was sort of confused, but then his friend came up to me later and told me that they were playing a trick on him and told the dude that i was the head A&R at Interscope.

but i think next summer, i want to go hang out in the hamptons and tell everyone im the other guy in nerd. either him or the asian guy in linkin park

someone who knew me was talking to someone younger who had gone to my college. Person who knew me said "do you know Dan Selzer?" and this particular college grad said "of course I know Dan Selzer, everyone at that college knows Dan Selzer...he was there for like 8 years!"

That got a big WTF? from me, as I was there exactly 4 years.

After we went to see Architecture In Helsinki a couple of weeks ago, some lassie came up to me in a bar later and started talking about the show. I said I'd thought the sound was a bit off to start with, she said "oh, I wish I was in the business too, I just don't notice things like that". I have no idea who she thought I was (this wasn't in the venue, this was in another bar up the road).

The sound is always off at Architecture In Helsinki gigs. By definition.

Ha ha.

I also met some bloke in a pub who, when I told him my first name, was like "the Ailsa? Off S*n*st*r?" which I thought was a bit sad. ~~(OK, I was secretly chuffed)~~ Does that count?

Was this actually at some sort of internet meetup, or was he really just some random bloke in a pub?

When me and Mrs V we were on telly we got stopped at a train station the following day by a woman who recognised us, which felt weird. It hasn't happened since, hahaha.

It was at a not-officially-internet-related club night in Glasgow. He was with people I knew, but I didn't know him.

I was talking to former H0usemart1n H*gh once at a party and he said "You're that bloke who's always drunk".
