Hello! This is Kinsey, NSync's official Bugaboo! After looking like a total idiot in front of NSync and my friends looking like TARDS, I decided to make a page that could prepare girls for their future encounters with the guys. Maybe even help them meet NSync by listing useful information on where to go and the people to know. I'll also update this page with links to places you can go to win chances to meet the dudes. Here are some tips that might help you in your quest for NSync: Make friends with a local DJ! (That REALLY HELPS! THANKS DOMINO!) NSync is usually staying at the NICEST hotel in the city. Wait outside of their hotel, or.. If you've got the cash.. Get a room in the hotel so you're free to roam the Lobby. Camp out in the elevators! They've got to come down sometime! Sometimes while on tour NSync will hit your local mall(s)! Look there! They club hop after every concert. They normally cruise around your town in large white vans. If you're going to follow them from the concert, don't chase after the limo that pulls out. That's usually a decoy. If a van pulls out shortly afterwards... That's the one to pursue. If you can't find them... Find the girls! Where there are lots of girls, There's NSync. Drive by the big Hotels and if there's a crowd of boobies outside I guarantee they're inside. If you're at a special NSync event, Talk to the adults in charge. Make friends with them. Joke around with them even. Whether it gets you ahead in line, backstage, or just gives you someone to talk to.. It's always a good idea to be homies with the people in charge. -I once got backstage with a meet n greet pass that was not mine. My friend couldn't use it because she had fallen and hurt her knees. I was so afraid that I'd get caught, but I started talking and laughing with the guards. If you act confident and like you belong there, you wont be questioned. Keep that in mind. My local news reported what hotel NSync was staying at when they got into town. Watch the news! Join NSync's Official Fan Club (They give out a few meet n greet passes for every city.) Join Newsletters that will inform you of special events. (There's a great newsletter @ nsync-world.com) Sit in the NSync chat rooms. Fans are very informative. Visit message boards. Check with your local record stores for upcoming events. If you've got connections with the Britney Spears' crew they could probably get you some information. (Britney's a freaking NSync groupie.)

Smile! -It's contagious! Make them laugh! Try to remember your name! -If you go blank just smile and nod alot. Try to actually speak to them. -You'll regret it later if you don't. Shake their hand. -If they're not in a hurry, hug 'em. Be a "Celebrity." -Act like you belong! Be confident. You've traveled all over the country for them, Go ahead! List acouple of outrageous things you've done to see 'em. -As in waiting outside of ticketmaster for 12 hours in the rain to get concert ticket... DON'T tell them the grass on their front lawn is comfortable to sleep on! Politely ask for a picture or an autograph. -This isn't a Rollingstone photo shoot... One roll is enough. Thank them for the autograph or picture. Give them your website URL... or ours! Wish them luck in the future. Remember to tell them they rock your world as they walk away. Try to convince Justin he's white. -Once you go black, you never go back. Sexually Assault them. -It gets you in trouble. Cry... -I DID THAT ONE! Pee all over yourself. -Not a big turn on. Unless you're meeting Freaky Joey. Kiss their butt. -They get enough of that. SCREAM in their faces! Look like a whore. -Whores aren't cool. Unless their names are Britney and Christina. (WILLA RULES!) RUN at them! -Can you image how frightened you'd be? Smile and wave and chances are they'll come over to you. Grab a hold of them and not let go. Bust out in to their choreography in the middle of the hotel lobby. Whip out your boob. -You might think it's cute but they definitely don't. Start reciting quotes from their TRL appearances. Attempt to get autographs for your entire senior class. When you're talking to Lance don't ask him to go get JC. Don't ask to come up to their hotel room! Don't ask for their phone numbers! Don't ask for their toothbrush. Don't ask them if they remember you. -Just say, "Hey! I met you guys __ years ago at ___!" Don't try to give them advice on their career. They're paying people to do that for them! Don't ask them about someone you met in the NSync chat room who claims to be their cousin. Don't ask if you can be the mother of their children! Don't ask them if they're going to let AJ back in the group after he gets out of rehab... LOL.

This letter caught my attention. If you put yourself in their shoes it almost sends a chill through you. If you want to meet them at their hotel, I think that's cool. If they're in your town trying to "run into them" isn't a crime. However, driving past their house.. taking grass from their lawn, trying to break in... is totally STUPID. I don't think it's cute, I don't think it's funny. I think you've got problems. I once knew a girl who moved to Orlando.. JUST IN HOPES OF SEEING THEM! GET A LIFE! Good Lord. Please don't be a bloody freak and do something like this:

What If?
(used by permission from the Dax Files)

What if you reached into your home mailbox and pulled out a hand addressed letter from out of state, with an unknown return address? Not too unusual, right?
OK...what if you opened that letter and saw a color picture of your home, with your car and a friend's car in your driveway (with license plates fully readable)...a photo taken by a stranger without your knowledge or permission? Then you read the letter below the photo addressed to "Chris Kirkpatrick or his family, whoever lives here." Wouldn't that creep you out just a bit?
The letter Bev showed me yesterday was pretty much the typical fan letter professing undying love and devotion for 'N Sync, with a few extra frightening details...such as how the fan sent physical proof of her stalking prowess with the attached photo. The author of this "fan letter" said she was a 14-year-old girl from Michigan whose uncle researched Florida real estate tax records to find 'N Sync homes for her. Then during a trip to Orlando, her father drove her around the city until they located as many of them as possible. She mentioned trying to get into Justin's gated home but unfortunately was thwarted. She proudly stated that she paid her father gas money to drive her around town in search of their homes. Her quest was to meet any of the members of 'N Sync, and evidently she thought by sending a letter with a photo of a family member's personal residence that this mission would somehow be accomplished. She even said she meant no harm and did not consider this attempt of hers "stalking." This girl offered to "pay anything" to get to meet any of the guys of 'N Sync, and gave her home phone number and address so that whoever received the letter could contact her. If this is really a young teenage girl, what on earth is her family's deal? I know for sure what the answer would have been if my teenage daughter had ever asked me or her dad to help her stalk celebrities or their families! (...and it would NOT have been, "well, if you'll pay for the gas.")

Celebrities must contend with this kind of attention on a regular basis...it goes with the job, but they usually live behind guarded walls or in heavily secured, gated communities and travel with bodyguards. Think about not being the celebrity...but just a family member of the famous. You don't have the guards and gates to keep stalkers away and help keep your family out of sight of the prying eyes...and cameras. You have to explain to your young child that she can't play out in the front of the house with the other neighborhood kids because her brother is too famous...even the backyard is a worrisome place because part of it is visable from the street. All parents have concerns about their childrens' safety -- but few have to deal with the same fears as families of the very famous, or even think about those concerns. I know this isn't an earth shattering matter of grave importance, but I just wanted to share a little insight to life of those who have famous family members.

"Celebrity," the name of 'N Sync's upcoming album...right now it makes me think of a little girl who can't play outside with her friends. Fame certainly is a double-edged sword. I guess it means different things to different people. Yes, there are many perks for those close to music celebrities...they can usually get tickets for sold-out concerts (which is a blessing or a curse depending on how many requests they get for extra tickets!) but there is also the personal price of lack of privacy and feeling of insecurity for the families.
What if this happened to you?
