Yea, PvD is extremely shy especially with cameras. When he was here at the Roxy last month, he tried to hide from cameras when he went on bathroom breaks. After he was done spinning, I heard he stuck around to sign bunches of stuff before the Roxy crew started closing it down. I think he's one of the few DJs who really does it for the fans and music more than the $. As long as you don't shove stuff to his face or anything, you'll get what you want. Oh, and he bolts quickly cuz he probably has to rest up for the following gigs the next day. |

| why don't you guys give him your underwear after you creamed in it from shaking his hand to show what a big fan you are? it's a bit more interesting. |

i'm sure pvd is very approachable, just make sure his bitchy booking agent pam film isnt around, she will dig her nails into your arm and yell at you to get out of the dj booth. she might even lodge swear words your way and then get a bouncer or two to remove you.
this is what happened to me at space in miami when i had an "all access pass" on me.
it's people like her that hold the dance scene back.

| When i saw Paul he came up to the crod afterwards and did autographs, pics, for at least a good 25 minutes. As a matter of fact he signed like 6 things i gave him and didnt give the slightest bit of atittude. |

damn, that must not have been very fun. time to find another booking agent, heh Paul? haha.
i've seen my fair share of celebrities....never bothered them though. just cause someone is good at what they do doesn't mean i'll start jumping around a AAA certified mechanic begging for a handshake, a signature, and a picture

Same here, although I've mainly had the chance to hang out with movie peeps (and videogame celebs, if they count as celebs)...and for the most part, I never bother them mainly out of respect.
In interviews and stuff, they just give the impression that they hate it or are sick of people coming up to them, so I try to be respectful and leave them alone. I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but I just never want to do the wrong thing.
But I remember this one time at a party down in LA where I got the nerve (the alcohol had taken over) to walk up to Jaime Pressly...only to get run over by Tara Reid who was storming across the dance floor for some reason....ruined that moment. *sigh* |

and then there's armin at the other end of the scale...
after twotribes in march, he was the last act, after spinning 2.5 hours he stayed to sign and shake hands with the crowd for about 15 minutes. should be noted that he was battling sickness and looked very tired, and still had to jump on another flight down to melbourne for a gig a few hours later.
dats some dedication to the fans right there. im not a big armin fan, so dont think im saying it just cos i'd suck his dick at will :| |

I went up to PVD in the VIP room at Gatecrasher a few months ago with a friend to see if he would let us take a pic with him. He totally blew us off. We then watched as he did exactly the same thing with about 4-5 other people that went up asking for an autograph or photo.
I'm in 2 minds about it really. I mean you can imagine that everywhere he goes he gets hassled and he was just trying to have a few drinks with friends before his set and didn't want to be hassled. So with that in mind... fair enough.
On the other hand though he was a total prick about it. He could have politely said no and that would have been it but instead he just blew us and others off really rudely.
If you are going to go up to him I definatly wouldn't do it when it is playing or about to play and try and pick his mood first. |

Yeah Armins very approachable, almost too approachable for is own good. After his set at Gods on friday i went up to the lounge and he was up there, i couldn't be arsed to get a pick myself, but as i had my camera and was doing the pics for my website, a fair few of my mates wanted their pics doing. The first girl went up and just grabbed him, he was talking with Pulser, and tried to tell her that but she just wanted her pic. But anyway, he posed fo it, big smile and everything when a lot of DJ's would of made them wait.
Not met PVD yet, hopefully will soon as he's my fav dj by a mile. Just hope i don't catch him in a bad mood. |
