Act like you belong

[spartacus53]

I am pretty sure I'm not the only one who gained access somewhere by just acting like just belonged. The first time I did it was just for the fun of it, I later looked at "belonging" as an art form and had to become a master

I guess there is little limit to the events you can see by just acting like you belong there

So where did you go?

I go to funerals all the time even if I do not know the person, 9 times out of 10 they have a huge meal afterwards.


























Just kidding, I would never do such a thing.

same goes for weddings, and parties at public parks!

There is nothing wrong with that if you wanted to do it.. Just remember during the meal to say something nice about the deceased. You may even want to consider making a toast during the meal.. That way you'll fit right in

Went to a bar in KC that I used to go to all the time for pool tournaments about 15 years ago...lets just say that the clientele had changed significantly. I ended up staying and playing pool for a couple hours and a few beers anyway. And yes---I went home alone, thank God

I especially like the shrimp cocktails served at a Bris...its those little things that brings people together

A short list of examples I have done.

Sat in various seminars, when asked for my name tag I just told them I went out for a cigarette and left on the chair so I won't lose my good seat.

During one of the largest reenactments at Gettysburg in the early 90's, I was holding one camera and had 2 others strapped on me carrying a large camera bag a accessories and just said press. Got front row in the VIP section. I have some really excellent shots and may post them once I scan them. It looks like I as walking in-between the participants.

Several parties as well... Never a wedding, nothing much happening there

other then attending Parties free
(Biker Parties, Beer Fests, Pig Roasts etc.)
just by walking in,

I got in to see the Guess who Free
Just by walking in a unlocked door
and sitting down. was mistaken for part of the
crew even though I didn't have to do anything.
but Eat, Drink, & Party
(They probably thought about Firing Me)

Can't remember any others at this time

I won some Eagles tickets last year. Me and my buddy walked right into the VIP tent and dined on lobster, shrimp & beers!

Good time and the Eagle won.

I'm a bit of a loner so I usually avoid crowds, but once I needed some good horse pictures for a project so I made up a Press pass badge and vehicle sign. I drove up to the VIP lot entrance at a swanky steeplechase and presented my ID. The state trooper waved me thru. I then walked thru the press entrance and onto the center of the chase field. I got shots of the chase from about 20' away. I have that most police don't know what a press pass looks like.
