What if you could?

I wouldn't want to. I don't necessarily think that it would have to be disillusioning, but I think unless you had an actual reason for meeting the person, other than that they were famous and you were an admirer then it would be very awkward.

I went out for sushi with my favorite cyclist last night. Okay...so it wasn't a swanky place....and the cyclist isn't a pro, he's my DH. But he can still kick my @zz on a bike if he wanted to, but he doesn't and he's super sweet. Got no fantasies or illusions about those so-called pros.

Same here.

I'd meet Jens at a brewpub.

Not swanky, but if any of them happened to be sitting at the bar at my local, I'd chat them up, just like I do pretty much everyone else.

[RoadRaven]

Yeah... I'd like to meet them... but I'd feel a little out of place in a swanky cocktail bar...

I also wonder about some of the guys and gals I might choose drinking alcohol... I know some of them don't, and as I rarely do, I wonder if I might meet them somewhere else... a nice cafe on the waterfront meaybe?

And no, I don't think it would be disillusioning. Its good to find out peole are "real"... whether its quirky little habits, self-effacing, or complete ego-centrism. People are real... just like me. The people I admire are not on a pedastal, but I sure would be interested to chat.

I'm guessing I'd enjoy the time and be more inspired coming away from sitting down and having drinks with any one of you than some pro.
