action film that shows the trials of turning into a mermaid every time you get wet , making it a good how - to - guide . aquamarine is another good choice . consider checking out mr . peabody and the mermaid , peter pan , pirates of the caribbean on stranger tides , and she creature . mermaids are less common on television but the australian series h2o just add water provides a look at three young mermaids in high school trying to keep their magical powers secret . mermaids are famous for their long , beautiful tresses . consider adding hair extensions as well . extensions come in all colors and adding a dramatic streak of blue or purple to your hair will give you the proper otherworldly look . however , make sure you arent going against the school dress code when dyeing your hair . take good care of your hair by washing it at least three to four times a week . brush it every morning and night , for mermaids love brushing their hair . plus , its good for your scalp and causes your hair to become healthier . if your hair isnt already silky , try using a different shampoo type to get those desired results . also , conditioner can help soften and strengthen your hair if you use the right amount . try purchasing tropical scented shampoos and conditioners that will instantly remind people of the sea . start with some hair clips in the shape of sea creatures . starfish , dolphins , fish and seahorses are all very popular . look for necklaces , earrings , bracelets , and brooches with the same shapes . if you cant find anything appropriate in local stores , a simple shell necklace is easy to find and will give the same effect . make sure to always wear it over your clothing and not hide it underneath your shirt so people can easily see it . try to purchase a shell necklace that looks or is authentic . if this is impossible , go to the beach and find a small shell that you can hook a chain around it . sometimes , there are small holes in the shells - usually found in the smaller shells - that is big enough to let a chain through , but small enough so that it doesnt crack the shell . dont wear the shell necklace when you go to sleep , or you might accidentally crack it in your sleep take it off before bedtime and showering so that you will preserve it well . bright blues and greens are associated with the ocean , as well as anything turquoise or aqua . you dont have to stick to just those colors though a flash of purple or orange will give your outfit a tropical look . look at pictures of ocean life and try to copy some of those vivid colors and patterns . avoid wearing mermaid costumes to school because people will either think youre trying too hard or they wont take you seriously . however , do wear a mermaid costume if you go trick - or - treating on halloween night , but dont overdo the look blues , greens , and purples will match your clothes and draw peoples attention when you comb your fingers through your long hair . a subtle blue tint on your lips or in the outer corner of your eye will accentuate your outfit . try to avoid sparkly shades and glitter that could draw too much attention and make you look like youre trying too hard . mermaids sometimes are shy and dont like to draw attention to themselves . when the subject of underwater life and the ocean comes up in class , act interested but informed , as if you are already an expert . talk a little about fish , currents , and tidal waves . if your classroom has an aquarium , take it as an opportunity to be either mesmerized or insulted . be ready to point it out when others are mistaken but dont make a nuisance of yourself . a true mermaid would not be likely to enjoy having the secrets of her people discussed in public . your silence on the subject will make people all the more intrigued . although you might want to drop a subtle hint , along the lines of the little mermaid got it all wrong . you dont have to run through the hallways screaming , but it doesnt hurt to act a little nervous and quickly dry yourself off . if youre not walking around with a mermaid tail 247 then you are most likely a mermaid that transforms at the touch of water . it makes sense for you to avoid transforming at school and acting the part will make it more real . if you have to come into contact with water , wear a special charm on your necklace or in your hair that you never remove , and drop hints about how it prevents you from transforming without saying it outright . it may help if your charm is sterling silver . this will be explained later . if no one notices your nervousness at the touch of water , dont worry . gradually , they probably will start to notice it . however , if you add more drama to it , people will think youre a drama queen andor trying to get attention . mermaids are known for their beautiful voices . if your voice is naturally good , show it off when youre listening to the car radio or hanging out in the choir room . if not , get some lessons in private and in the meantime , let others know that youre afraid to sing in public and let them draw their own conclusions as to why . avoid singing too much or people will think youre only trying to show others how good you are . then , theyll start to ignore , avoid , andor dislike you . if worse comes to worse and you still cant develop your singing talent , dont worry . you dont have to sing to be a mermaid - just avoid singing and dont tell anyone about your voice . a true mermaid would be concerned at the destruction of her habitat . join an environmental protection club or a pollution awareness campaign . research the dangers of overfishing and oil spills . if you live near a beach , take part in clean - up projects . dont go overboard with this and lecture everyone about keeping marine life and the sea safe . otherwise , people will find you annoying and think that youre only trying to get attention . write down your experiences living underwater , transforming , and the trials of keeping your secret . you can choose to keep this book for yourself or take it to school and let others guess at the contents . if you do choose to take your diary to school , be very protective about it and always have it with you in your sight . this will enhance the mystery and make people wonder what is in your diary . if the students are desperate enough , they might try to steal it and peek inside , so you must keep it with you at all costs - unless your plan is to let them see it . however , this isnt recommended , as the other students might tease you about this and this could ruin your mermaid life . before you go to sleep , try imagining yourself as a mermaid in the ocean . listen for the sound of the waves . picture yourself surrounded by schools of fish or running your hands over a cluster of coral . feel your body swaying in the pull of the tides . these exercises will spill over into your dreams . dont be surprised if you wake up feeling like youve just been for a long swim visit the sea whenever you can and swim in it . act like you are at home and if you do feel at home , this should be easy for you linger in the water for as long as you can and run your hands through it to show how much you love it . when you have to leave , reluctantly pull away , but dont delay for too long or you could become annoying . if you live near the beach and you are allowed to visit it whenever you please , go visit it whenever you can the more often you hang out at it , the more likely people will think that you truly are a mermaid . if you dont live anywhere near the beach , visit the pool and swim in it as much as you can . avoid swimming in the pool when people - stranger or friends - are around and immediately leave . if you have no option but to swim with others , wear your charm in the pool with you . only do this if it is sterling silver , as it will not discolour or rust . when youre alone in the pool , practice swimming like a mermaid . then , show off your moves at the beach whenever you can visit it if you drop too many hints or act too self - important , people will start to get irritated . the point of this is to become a mermaid , not to alienate your friends . try sticking to a few subtle hints and some basic costuming every day , instead of going for the full effect all the time . if you start to feel bored or uncomfortable in your role , then maybe its time to take a break . remember that being a mermaid is about having fun . youre living in two worlds now , but dont let it become a chore . this is for your enjoyment only . |

obtain takeoff clearance from the tower or announce your intentions on the common traffic advisory frequency ctaf , taxi onto the runway and align the plane with the center - line . if acceleration from the hold short line is not possible , taxi to the takeoff end . smoothly apply full power and release the brakes once the rpm is in the green arc . keep the plane centered with the rudder pedals . by the point of time you reach about 20 below rotation speed , set the flaps to the takeoff position . once rotation speed is reached gently pull back on the yoke . if the density altitude and gross weight are both climb at the best angle of climb speed , vx , which can also be found in the poh . enter the pattern as you would at any airport after contacting the tower or announcing your position on the ctaf . fly the standard traffic pattern , beginning your descent on the downwind leg abeam the touchdown point of the runway . turn final to align the plane with the runway and lower flaps completely 30° or 40° depending on the aircraft . dont forget to lower your gear if your aircraft has a retractable undercarriage fly the approach using a point just before the threshold as your reference . raise the flaps and apply maximum braking without locking the wheels . exit the runway to make room for other aircraft traffic . | how to takeoff and land on a short runway | taxi as close to the takeoff end of the runway as this allows you to use all the length of the runway . with some very short runways it may be helpful to start acceleration at the hold short line of the runway thus arriving speed at takeoff end of the runway with ten or fifteen knots of airspeed already developed . apply your toe brakes and leave the flaps in 0° position . , this speed , called vr , can be found in the pilots operating handbook poh . this speed will give you the most climb over distance only until energy airspeed bleeds off . at that point you must reduce the angle to maintain the vx speed that is in the poh , dont forget to lower 10° of flaps . when the runway is 45° over your shoulder , turn base and lower another 10° of flaps . , maintain awareness for power lines , trees , fences , or other obstructions with short field techniques . use power to maintain glide slope and elevator to maintain a speed that will not allow this point to appear to speed up or slow down . a couple feet before the edge of the runway , pull the power back to idle and gently flare to lose airspeed and touch down on the numbers . apply full back pressure on the yoke to keep the weight on the main gear . |
use a preflight checklist if you have one . begin your preflight in the cockpit , since before flying , you will need to make sure all cockpit equipment is operating , and the fuel tanks have sufficient fuel for your flight . exit the aircraft . walk around the aircraft , looking for damage cause by impacts or cracks and seams separating from airframe fatigue , hard landings , or other mishaps . begin at the right wing , after exiting the aircraft , and look at the forward wing surface for nicks , loose fasteners , dents , or other damage . remove the fuel cap for wing fuel tanks and visually confirm they have sufficient fuel to make your flight . check stall indicator depending on which wing it is mounted on , struts , if applicable , and other features on the right wing . move down the right side of the aircraft . move to the tail assembly . look at the antennae assembly , which is usually located at the tail , as well as the tail wheel , to be sure no lubricants or brake fluid is leaking , and that the tire is properly inflated . move to the opposite side of the aircraft , continuing to look over the aircraft skin to the wing . move to the front of the aircraft and look at the exhaust looking for oil blow - out and other damage . check the engine oil , the ignition wires , magneto electrical connections , and the fuel lines and other hoses to be sure they are seated properly and tightly clamped . move to the propeller . check for fuel or lubricant leaks around the engine compartment , cowling , and fuel tank locations . take a look at the wheels , landing gear , and landing gear compartment doors . remove the wing tie downs and wheel chocks , walk to the front of the aircraft , and take a long , careful look to make sure you have not overlooked anything . | how to pre flight an aircraft | many rental or fleet aircraft have one which may have all recent service , inspection , and maintenance information updated for each aircraft . here are some things you may see flight hours . because aircraft maintenance is usually scheduled at flight hour intervals , the actual hours flown are logged to accommodate scheduling service dates for these activities . pilot observations . when more than one pilot is likely to operate an aircraft , it is beneficial to have input from each pilot as to the flight characteristics of the plane . one pilot may notice a vibration , shudder , or other physical anomaly , or unusual readouts from gauges while in flight , that the next pilot should be aware of . service schedule . if a component airframe , engine , etc has a scheduled 100 hrs inspection due after 5 more flight hours , a longer flight could be postponed until the service is performed , or another aircraft utilized . make sure the aircraft registration , certification , and other paperwork is in the cabin and up to date . make sure the ignition switch is in the off position . turn on the master power switch . check the fuel gauges . if the fuel is low , call for the service truck to bring your fuel out while you continue to do the rest of your checks . listen to the sounds of equipment powering on . radio cooling fans , instrument gyros , and other equipment make noticeable sounds , and when unusual sounds are heard , it may be a warning an instrument or radio could fail in - flight . check flaps , landing gear lockdown levers , and other flight controllers for smooth , normal function . as you climb out of the cabin , take a look at the seat support rails on small aircraft to make sure the seat is anchored securely and all fasteners are in place . check the cabin door to be sure it operates smoothly and shuts securely . worn hinges or latches that do not secure properly can cause an inflight emergency . if the door does not move smoothly into open and closed positions , it may indicate the airframe and internal structure are damaged . , look at the flight control surfaces , flaps , and ailerons . make sure that items are secure and have no loose fasteners . replace the fuel cap securely . , continue looking at the aircraft surface . be particularly careful to observe defects or loose fasteners in the aircraft surface . while at the tail , you may remove the wheel chock or tail tie - down . look at the elevators and the rudder . as with all control surfaces , these should be tight , with no loose motion or free play . give the gear suspension a once - over , too , making sure any boots or covers are in place , and that all support cables are tight . remove the fuel cap and look into the tank to be sure it is fueled , replace the tank cap securely , and check out the control surfaces again , the ailerons and flaps . , look at the alternator belt to make sure it is tight , and the air intake to be sure it is not obstructed . never place your body in the swing radius of an airplane propeller . check the spinner for lubricant leaks , missing bolts and pins , or other problems . look at the propeller itself , to be sure the blades are not cracked , bent , delaminated , or damaged in other ways . any leaks or appearance of fluid on the aircraft skin should be inspected by a trained maintenance person prior to flight . look for loose fittings , tires which may have tread separation , low inflation pressure , and other defects . |
while taxiing , apply full back pressure on the yoke pull it towards you to relieve the pressure on the nose wheel . if you can , dont stop at the hold short line only if you have permission to do so and traffic conditions allow for it . once you have obtained clearance only at towered airports , taxi onto the runway and align on the center - line . do not stop . the nose will begin to rise . the plane will takeoff on its own . as the speed increases , you will need to apply even more forward pressure on the yoke . once you reach a safe airspeed usually the best rate of climb also known as vy , raise the nose and climb , maintaining vy . enter the pattern as you would at any airport after contacting the tower or announcing your position on the ctaf . fly the standard traffic pattern , beginning your descent on the downwind leg abeam the touchdown point of the runway . when the runway is 45° over your shoulder , turn base and lower another 10° of flaps . turn final to align the plane with the runway and lower flaps completely 30° or 40° depending on the aircraft . once you are a couple feet above the runway , gently flare and add a little bit of power . as soon as the main gear touches the runway , pull the power back to idle . apply full back pressure on the yoke to keep the nose wheel off the ground . holding full back pressure , taxi off the runway to make room for other traffic . | how to takeoff and land on a soft runway | keep the braking to a minimum as much as possible so you can keep your inertia . depending on conditions you may want to lower your flaps to 10° at this point . always obey the controller if at a towered airport . look for traffic approaching to land . lower the flaps to 10° if you havent already . when all is clear , radio the tower or announce your intentions on the common traffic advisory frequency ctaf . ctaf is used at non - towered airports or when the tower is closed . , as soon as you are lined up , smoothly apply full power and continue to hold the yoke back . continue to hold back pressure to keep the nose wheel off the ground . the cowling should be aligned with the horizon . quickly , but smoothly , apply forward pressure to lower the nose . the plane is off the ground but does not have enough lift to fly . this is called ground effect . it feels as if the plane is flying on a cushion of air between the wings and the ground although this is not really the case at all - - that feeling is caused by the ground interfering with the wingtip vorticesdown wash , reducing overall drag and therefore increasing airplane performance . if you go too high , you will lose this cushion , the drag will increase thus decreasing airplane performance and lift , and you may crash . try to keep you altitude above the runway approximately equal to your wingspan . you will feel like you are flying in a nose low pitch attitude - - and you are this information can be found in your pilots operating handbook poh . , dont forget to lower 10° of flaps . , once you have the runway made , pull the throttle to idle . adding a little power at this point allows you slow your decent rate , and keeps you from slamming into the ground and flipping the plane . it also allows you to touch down at a slower airspeed making for a softer landing . , allow it to settle on its own . you may need enough speed to avoid settling and getting stuck - use caution |

determine the holding fix . visualize the holding course . draw the holding pattern . determine the correct entry procedure . time the legs . watch your speed . | how to fly a holding pattern 1 | air traffic control atc will give you instructions to hold north of skier intersection as published or give you specific holding instructions such as hold south - east of falcon vor on victor 366 , left turns . the holding fix can be identified on an instrument flying chart and will usually be an intersection of victor airways pre - established flying routes between vor navigational aids , a vor very high frequency omnirange station , or an ndbnondirectional beacon . this is the position in relation to the holding fix that atc would like you to hold at . they may say hold west on victor 8 or hold on the kremmling 260° radial . you should be very familiar with vor and ndb radials and bearings before flying holding patterns . the holding course is the course to fly to the station . this will always be the reciprocal of the radial or bearing from the station eg the 260° radial would result in a 080° holding course . to quickly identify this , take a piece of paper and put a dot for the holding fix and draw a line in the direction of the radial or airway to hold on . place an arrow pointing to the station to identify the holding course . once you have the fix and course , mentally or physically draw a picture of the holding pattern . you will need to determine if it is standard or non - standard . a standard pattern turns are to the right , while non - standard turns are to the left . if the pattern is non - standard , it will be published on the chart as left turns or atc will say non - standard pattern or left turns . starting at the holding fix , draw a 180° turn in the direction specified left or right , continue the line paralleling the holding course , and draw another 180° turn to bring you back to the holding course . this is the famous racetrack or holding pattern . depending on where you enter the holding pattern , you will need to follow an entry procedure . if you are coming from 70° to the left right for non - standard patterns of the holding course , use a teardrop procedure . coming from 110° to the right or left if non - standard , use the parallel procedure . and from the remaining 180° , fly a direct entry . the entry procedures are outlined below parallel procedure . when approaching the holding fix from anywhere within sector a , turn to a heading to parallel the holding course outbound on the non - holding side for the appropriate time see step 5 , turn in the direction of the holding pattern through more than 180 degrees , and return to the holding fix or intercept the holding course inbound . teardrop procedure . when approaching the holding fix from anywhere in sector b , turn outbound to a heading 30° from the holding course on the holding side for the appropriate time , then turn in the direction of the holding pattern to intercept the inbound holding course . direct entry procedure . when approaching the holding fix from anywhere in sector c , fly directly to the fix and turn to follow the holding pattern . the pattern should be flown so the inbound leg is one minute long if you are flying at or below 14 , 000 feet 4 , 267 . 2 m mean sea level msl or one and a half minutes above 14 , 000 feet 4 , 267 . 2 m msl . at the holding fix , make a 180° standard rate turn 3°sec in the direction specified for the pattern standard or non - standard . when you are abeam the holding fix or after rolling out of the turn if you are unable to determine abeam the fix , start timing the outbound leg . after a minute 1½ minutes above 14 , 000ft , make another 180° turn in the same direction to intercept the holding course . time the inbound leg until reaching the holding fix . if there is little or no wind , it should be one or 1½ minutes as appropriate . if not , you will need to adjust the outbound leg to make the inbound leg the appropriate time . for example , if you are flying at 12 , 000 feet 3 , 657 . 6 m and find that it takes 45 seconds to fly the inbound leg after flying outbound for one minute , make your outbound leg 1 minute and 15 seconds next time . similarly , if the inbound leg comes out as 1 minute 30 seconds , shorten the outbound leg by the extra 30 seconds . remember not to start timing the outbound leg until you are directly abeam the holding fix . unless otherwise depicted on a chart or directed by atc , maximum holding airspeed between the minimum holding altitude and 6 , 000 feet 1 , 828 . 8 m is 200 knots indicated airspeed kias . between 6001 and 14 , 000 feet 0 . 0 m , dont fly faster than 230 kias and above 14 , 000 feet 4 , 267 . 2 m , maximum airspeed is 265 kias . |
adjust for wind to make the inbound leg the appropriate time . triple your crosswind correction on the outbound leg . | how to fly a holding pattern 2 | if the inbound leg is shorter than it should be , lengthen the outbound leg by the difference . if the inbound leg is too long , shorten the outbound leg by the excess time . for example , flying below 14 , 000 feet 4 , 267 . 2 m , if the inbound leg takes one minute , 45 seconds to complete , time the outbound leg for 15 seconds one minute minus the extra 45 seconds from the inbound leg . if you have a 10° crosswind correction to hold your track on the inbound leg , fly the outbound leg with 30° correction . maintain standard rate turns . |
some holding patterns require the use of distance measuring equipment dme or gps along - track distance atd . enter the pattern as appropriate teardrop , parallel , or direct . start the turn to the outbound leg at the specified dmeatd fix . end the outbound leg and turn to the inbound leg at the required distance instead of timing the leg . | how to fly a holding pattern 3 | the basics are the same as above except a dme distance is used as the holding fix . for example , if you are holding on the 10dme fix to the navaid and flying 5 mile 8 . 0 km legs as directed by atc , you would end the outbound leg at 15 miles 24 km dme see diagram above . if you are holding away from the navaid , subtract the length of the legs from the holding fix . for example , if you are holding on the 20dme fix and flying away from the navaid , end your outbound leg at 25dme . |
tune and identify . get your bearing . | how to navigate using a vor 1 | tune the vor frequency in the navigation radio . it will be listed on vfr and ifr charts as well as instrument approaches if it is a part of the approach . identify that you have the correct station and the signal is reliable by listening to the morse code identifier . if you see a red nav or vor flag , barber pole , or off instead of a tofr indication , the signal is unreliable , you are overhead , or roughly 90º from the selected radial . the signal is unreliable when you cannot hear the morse code identifier . a red gs flag is not a vor indication . determine which radial you are on by turning the obs omni bearing selector knob until the cdi course deviation indicator needle is centered and you have a from indication . looking at the picture above , you can see that the needle is centered and the instrument gives a from indication as a small white triangle is showing and pointing down so the aircraft is on the 254 degree radial . it doesnt matter what the heading of the aircraft is it is located somewhere along a line 254° from the vor station . in order to fly to the vor station , you would first twist the obs knob until the needle is centered and the white triangle appears , next to the to designator in the opposite direction , or up , from the fr designator . note that this will be 074 degrees , exactly 180° from the current radial . now turn the aircraft to this new heading and keep the needle centered - - this will take you to the vor station . |
fly the direction of the desired radial . intercept the course . track the radial . adjust for wind . | how to navigate using a vor 2 | you can find the direction of an airway on either a vfr or ifr chart . set the radials direction into the obs and turn the aircraft to fly that heading . once established on the heading , note the position of the cdi . if it is to the right , your radial is to the right . likewise , if it is left , the radial is left . turn 30 degrees in the direction of the cdi to intercept the course . although 30° is most common and easy to use , you can use any intercept angle . for instance , if you are far enough from the desired course , it may take more than 30° to intercept the course before reaching your destination . as the cdi moves close to the center , turn your heading to match the radial . keep the needle centered to stay on the radial . if the needle starts drifting left , turn left to get back on course . tracking inbound towards the station and outbound away from the station radials is exactly the same , except you should get a to indication when flying inbound and a from indication when flying outbound on a radial . aircraft heading opposite the direction of the radial will experience reverse sensing which is the cdi indicating right when the radial is to the left , and indicating left when the radial is to the right . if you find yourself blown off the radial by the wind , note the amount of deflection , then intercept the radial by turning the aircraft towards the radial twice as many degrees as the deflection . when the needle centers , turn only halfway back to the original heading to provide a wind correction angle wca . |
tune and identify both vors just as before . set the obs . wait for both cdi needles to center . | how to navigate using a vor 3 | two vor receivers are best , but you can still identify an intersection with one vor by switching the frequency and comparing the radials of both vors . use the obs to set the correct radials from each vor . the radials will be displayed on vfr and ifr charts if they are victor airways , but any two intersecting radials may be used . on vfr charts , the arrows identifying the intersection point to the vor , while the arrows on an ifr chart point from the vor toward the intersection . while tracking the course on one vor , watch the other vor to see when the cdi centers . when both needles are centered , you are on the intersection . if dme equipped and using a vordme or vortac , use dme to eliminate the need for a second vor . while tracking the vor radial , use the dme to find your distance from the station . dme distances will be displayed on ifr charts when it can be used to identify an intersection . for example , waric intersection is defined by the 238 radial from the vor and the 21 nm dme fix . |
mentally go over exactly what you will say before touching the radio and keep it in mind . determine your position . acquire necessary information . communicate your request in a professional and organized manner . read back any important information to ensure you received the correct message . | how to communicate with an air traffic control tower | if you are on the ground , you will need to tell the controller exactly where you are eg . alpha taxiway , general aviation ramp , gate 5 , runway 20 , parking spot 2 . look for the black and yellow position signs . if you are in the air and approaching the airport , determine the distance , msl altitude and bearing east , north , southeast , northwest , etc . from the field . make sure you contact the tower and establish two - way communications before entering class d or c airspace and obtain a clearance before entering class b airspace . if you are calling tower approaching the field or talking to ground control with a request to taxi , you will need the current atis information if available . also , prepare the frequencies you will need ahead of time atisawos , clearance delivery , ground , tower , approach control , departure . set the next frequencies in the standby radio or write them on a paper easily accessible to you in the cockpit . the standard format is who youre calling , who you are callsign , where you are , and what you want . for example , heathrow ground , cessna golf echo golf november romeo , on west apron , with information tango , request taxi for v - f - r flight departing to the south . this includes all hold - short instructions , takeofflanding clearance include specific runway , frequency changes , ifr clearances , etc . for example , los angeles tower , mooney niner one seven victor , cleared to land runway two five left . remember this . |

planned by you to see what events and what times you want to attend . your schedule can maximize the experience that you get out of your convention by letting you participate in things that interest you . make an effort to arrive to the convention 30 minutes or more before it begins . recall that there will be a large amount of people attending the convention . even if you purchase your pass in advance , you want to cut down on the amount of time that you wait in line . it will enable you to be the first at certain quality vendors that may sell out , events that may fill up , or games that they have early that will be gone later in the day . if you dont purchase your pass in advance , definitely arrive no less than an hour before the convention begins so that you can be one of the first to receive your pass without waiting for hours in line . in the bazaar there will be a vast amount of people , cosplayers , venders , and props everywhere and it may seem overwhelming . decipher the way venders are arranged . they will most likely be in rows and columns , or specifically squared of sections with venders of similar materials located in the same area . if arranged in columns and rows , venture down one the row closest to the door you enter . once you reach the end , turn around and travel down the same row in the opposite direction . this will allow you to see all the vendors have to offer without tearing your attention between the two sides . once you reach the end , you can turn and go down the next row . looking at the schedule you planned out before the convention , you should have developed priorities for what you want most out of your convention experience . among the many panels , parties and events , you will have picked out ahead of time the few that you wish to attend and participate in . these are the parts of the convention where you can actively participate in things tailored specifically to your fandoms and interests . plan them out accordingly . engaging with anyone is absolutely your choice . however , some cosplayers put a great amount of time , effort , and money , into their costumes and outfits so that you will interact with them . cosplayers can be solo , or travel in a pack with other cosplayers for a full cast affect . it is one of the most intricate and interesting parts of conventions . ask permission . the more accurate , intricate , or expensive a cosplay seems to be , the more likely that person would be open and willing to take a photo for or with you . however , they also cosplay for their own enjoyment . make sure that you gain consent before you assume that someone would be willing to pose for you . you will have arrived at your convention early and remained all day with little to no breaks - its okay to leave an hour or two early . with the schedule that you developed , you should have managed to visit , experience , and purchase a majority of everything that you wanted from the convention . leave early to avoid crowds on the way home . if you were dropped off , call the person to come you pick you up a half an hour or so in advance . be mindful that they have to navigate the traffic with hundreds of people coming and going from the convention . give them time to navigate safely and still come pick you up when youre ready to go . before you leave , make sure that everyone you came with is also ready to go . you dont want anyone to be left behind and you also want to make sure that the rest of the group has managed to complete their convention tasks as well . by the time you return home , you will have the strong smell of victorious convention survival . as great as it may seem , immediately take a show and wash it away there will be other conventions and smells for you to encounter . at the end of the day , the convention adrenaline that you have should be fading and you will be completely exhausted . get a good nights rest youve earned it by surviving your first nerd convention . get up the next day and do it again . |

research the artists output . find out if there are duplicates . pinpoint when in the artists career the work was completed . ask yourself if the work epitomizes the artists style . investigate whether the artist is well - known or has a reputation . know that size matters . find out if the piece of art has ever been owned by someone renowned . investigate market demand . look at liquidity . look at market trends . place the art in a primary or secondary market . look at what other , similar pieces of art have sold for . know that one - of - a - kind artworks are difficult to price , and somewhat more subject to change . look at scale , intensity , and medium . | how to value your art | how many works of art did the artist complete the output of the artist in general greatly affects price . prolific artists pieces of work tend to be less valuable than those of artists who simply produced less , all things being equal . is the work one - of - a - kind because of supply and demand , works that are singular are worth more than replicated works . for this reason , a paintings is usually worth more than a print or a lithograph — there are simply fewer of them out on the market . was the work completed early on or toward the twilight of their career interestingly enough , works of art completed early in artists careers are usually valued higher than those completed later on . why is this although its not true in all cases , early work tends to be more daring , passionate , and unpredictable , sometimes owing to the artists desire to establish a reputation for him or herself . many appraisers believe that as an artist becomes more established in their career , their art loses some of its derring - do and boldness . this artistic predictability is sometimes factored into the valuation . works of art that epitomize an artists aesthetic are usually appraised higher than works of art that are tangential or not representative of the artists oeuvre . pablo picassos art is indelibly linked to an artistic movement called cubism . currently , picassos most expensive painting , le rêve , which was sold in early 2013 for 155 million , falls firmly in that aesthetic . it is very emblematic of picassos style in general . artists generally fall into three categories of renown well - known , up - and - coming , and unknown . artists who are well - known and have a rich history of collection can almost always command more value more than artists who are unknown . how much buzz is the artist attracting the more mentions they get in significant publications , the better . does the artist have any significant showings in galleries , or did they in the past has the artist received acclaim from other art institutions , such an prizes , awards , or achievement recognition do any museums own the artists work artists who find homes for their art in museums can expect a significant uptick in the value of their work . generally , bigger works of art are appraised higher than smaller ones , usually because of the degree of difficulty involved . barring the artist themselves , works of art that were formerly owned by someone famous or well - known can command much higher prices than those pieces who dont ha or condition issues . an item that is ripped , water - damaged , discolored , or otherwise damaged can return significantly less than an item that is in perfect shape . note that an item that isnt technically damaged but isnt as vibrant as it was when first completed will qualify as having a condition issue . cleaning up an artwork or fixing condition issues can have a significant impact on its value . cleaning up and fixing condition issues on an artwork can improve its bottom line up to 20 . in short , how many people want to buy the piece of art art is sold in a market . this means that the value of items offered in the market fluctuates depending on how much buyers want the piece , as well as how much they are willing to pay . ask yourself if the market is in a peak , where demand is usually high , or a trough , where demand is depressed . if a glut of pieces enter the market , the market price tends to go down if pieces are sold off or if a new group of buyers suddenly becomes active , the market price tends to go up . this is often referred to as supply and demand . liquidity , also called marketability , is the reliability with which an asset or security can be sold without affecting its asking price . in the art world , high liquidity means that its relatively easy to sell an item quickly and thus convert its value into cash . low liquidity means that its harder to do this , creating a barrier to converting an asset into cash . related to demand , pricing trends are usually the result of changes in peoples perceptions of art or changes in their material circumstances . in the early 2010s , chinese billionaires , flush with money , began buying asian art , sending demand significantly higher and signalling a new trend in the market . as a result of this trend , indian and asian art became a hot commodity in the art world . collectors are willing to pay more of a premium for art in this market . has the work of art been sold before the primary market is what the work of art is valued at when it is first sold . the secondary market is what the work of art is valued at after it has been sold at least once . the secondary market value has a direct relation to what the item was sold for in the primary market . one of the things you want to look out for is a certificate of sale , especially if your item has been purchased at an auction . referencing this document will make your ultimate appraisal much less subjective . if youve just bough an impressionist painting in the vein of a painting that was just sold for 12 , 000 — all other things being equal — that should give you a good benchmark for what your painting may be worth . when looking at comparables , use a price range instead of a single price . art appraisers generally say , for example , that a sculpture is worth in the 800 - 1 , 200 range instead of saying its worth 1 , 000 . an artwork that is truly unique and doesnt have any other analogues against which to compare it is difficult to value . the appraisal arrived at is considered to be especially volatile . scale is the size of the artwork and the level of detail . intensity is the level of effort put into the artwork . medium is the quality of the materials used . combine these three aspects together and you should have a better idea of what your artwork is worth . |

infused paintings called , the last supper , as reinterpretations of leonardo da vincis the last supper . observe how other artists name their works of art . read the story behind why a particular artwork was given its name . read titles for different types of artwork , from classical paintings and modern drawings to sculptures and video art . your title might revolve around a particular theme or topic , but you might not like the word choices . look up key words in a thesaurus to come up with alternate words that mean the same thing . you might have a few key words that describe the theme you want to convey . adding descriptive words can give more dimension to your title . think of adjectives or adverbs that might work to enhance your title . georgia okeeffe titled one painting , calla lily turned away , giving more description to the floral subject of her work . mary cassatt named one painting , mrs . duffee seated on a striped sofa , reading , expanding on the most obvious subject to include more details of the painting . switch around the words that youve chosen to see how they flow together . putting the words in a different order can shift the meaning slightly , or it can make it easier to say . say the words out loud to hear how they sound together . instead of delving into a complex naming process , consider giving your artwork a very simple title that describes exactly what is in the artwork . this could be something like wooden table with fruit bowl , red ball , or girl swinging . emily carr titled many of her paintings simply , such as breton church and big raven . claude monets still life apples and grapes is a still life painting of a table with fruit . key words that reflect the topic or theme of your artwork might resonate better in another language . choose a few words and try them in another language . make sure you spell the words right in the other language . double check any accents or other required markings for your words . missing these markings can potentially mean altering the entire meaning of a given word . try to find someone who speaks that language . run your title by them to make sure it doesnt carry unwanted connotations . the goal with titling your artwork is to make sure it stands apart from other works of art . if it has the same name as another piece of artwork – especially something well -

to title as written on this site at the very front of the title followed by the theme park name . if the theme park has more than one branch such as six flags and similar , youll need to add in its name after the theme park name . if there are still several notable differences of multiple choices , youll need to finish this title off with in and the city name in which this theme park itself is based . youll need to know whether or not the park has several sections or lands throughout the park , the park has lands that are untitled but tend to be split into their own groups , or if the park is spread sporadically around a bunch of ungrouped lands focused around one or two soul footpaths with buildings on either side . if the park has titled lands , youll more likely to need to use the wikihow advanced editor or article creation tool so you can establish the subsections of steps , so that each land can be portrayed accurately , and so that the reader doesnt lose their focus because it looked confusing to read to them . this will be described more in a few steps from here , so be prepared . if the park has untitled lands , youll more than likely need to designate some type of system to explain to the reader the direction of travel when the reader would be walking and how theyd come upon it . if the attraction is at the borderline between two untitled lands , youll need to mention something along the lines of if youve reached attraction name in second title , youve walked too far or reached into the next land upon the last attraction in the lands section . if you do not like or do not understand wiki - text languages , you can use the article creation tool . however , using this will make the flow seem to go awful slow and youll end up giving up a whole lot sooner . if the park doesnt have titled lands or has no visible lands but a few soul footpaths , you can use the guided editor to begin your article , but youll still have some work to do to establish a great article otherwise . guided editor will help form some of the wiki - text to form the items you talk about into steps . for most of these articles , you wont need to add substeps of your main steps and many sub - tips of tips which some users find difficult to understand the syntax of . although this will depend on how you want to get into the article and how your settings run , most users will want to click the write an article button from any page of wikihow which will send you to this page where youll have to input your proposed title . this is a double -

end wiki syntax very well , you can and should use the advanced editor and go from there , but each articles information will vary widely . the introduction of the article is the first place that will establish the first form of communication to get your reader psyched into visiting the park . however , it isnt there to spoil the users vacation to the park or describe just what the article is bound to do . shoot for three to four sentences for an introduction , as part of a paragraph to psych the reader to get them ready to read the remainder of the article . although park maps will differ , park maps with all rides and attractions should be enough to formulate a good article that is ready to be researched . experience in the particular park you are planning to write about is definitely a plus , but giving the reader the ability to see just how much there is to do in the park , makes for one excellent article - even if you feel that the ride was rather lame , let the others know that when they arrive at the step that they might want to either not ride or take things in stride or to skip the ride at all . even other shows and attractions should be written as their own step . anything that makes this attraction unique is a strong point to write down about the attraction and include in the step inside the article . either research the ride on flickr for static images or youtube most widely - used researching choice for videos to see just what each ride is like . with so many users on youtube filming their on - ride pov videos and even some with off - ride videos , youll need to know just what the user should expect to encounter on their ride . even if youve been to the park before , make sure you see spots where others might have recorded that show things others were thinking to see where your reader might not understand if given the article inside the park . try to expand on others mistakes from their filming and explain their wrongdoings . search using the exact ride name along with the theme parks name as well as a trigger word using on - ride or off - ride or sometimes even the trigger abbreviation pov as these videos can take either of these two forms when searching . if the search returns no results or fewunrelated results , omit these trigger words altogether and try again . if this still produces none , youll need to rely on other sources of information such as from this theme parks website which could list information about their rides . for show attractions however , neither terms on - rideoff - ride nor pov are ever used , so do your research without these triggers behind as your search term . i . e . scrambler rides can be formed into scramble , as well as shows being either watch or take in . try not to use the action verbs go or ride as they can be considered vague and the reader might not be in an understanding with those steps set that way or need to further question what to expect when they get there and will tend to venture away to find more information that you should have researched already . as you work through the park , focus on gathering an action verb to describe what the ride does , what types of scenery it provides and how the two elements interact to provide for a great ride experience and describe . even if you have never ridden the ride or watched the attraction before , get to know exactly what all attractions are like . make sure the reader understands some of the other theme park options of nearby theme parks that could be around or within a comfortable 30 - 90 minute driving distance or in case they dont want to go to this park once they arrive , as well as noting the address of the park which youll need to cite where you reputably obtained the park addresscontact info from . google has information , but youll have to really deep - down delve to really understand where its getting its information . bing has it set up so that once asked , the engine will give you your answers then relay you to the website it found the information from then send you to other possible search results if you still didnt find the information you were looking for . but , please read on , as its not all about those few steps to visit the park . discuss the parking situation . although you dont need to grab directions from a nearby landmark like most websites mention since everyone is coming from different places , you might want to discuss whether the parks parking options include an open lot or some sort of enclosed parking garage . if you can find the parking spots exact address located online somewhere , provide an address as close as you can to the parking garage as well as its price for a general 2 - to - 4 axle car . if you cant , provide its nearest cross - streets nearest the entrance to the parking area . although this should really be written by typing from a real - life perspective of what youd find as if you were the reader looking for these answers yourself , if you do enough research on your topic , this will take you a small amount of time - if you know just where to look for your answers . if you have enough citable information as to the parking lot section names few theme parks websites and apps list this information , provide these names and cite your source as to where you found these names . dont just say that you found the list on name major website here and send the reader searching for answers or looking to prove your information to be inaccurate - no - that doesnt tell the reader exactly where this information can be found and will more than likely send your reader looking elsewhere to gather the information they need on another website or competitors website if one exists . explain the entrance , or if the walkway to the entrance has something memorable that all readers will encounter when entering that sets this park separate from the others , mention it again , best done by real - life instances that people know of , but could be done sometimes via looking at youtube videos and flickr images . explain to your reader what the turnstile entrance entails - but not to the point where youll be describing how the crank gets turned or the direction your entrance card gets you in readers can already assume how these items work or can ask for help if needed when they arrive to that point . you can explain some of the signage on top of the entrance gates or even the theming of the paint scheme surrounding the turnstiles or similar ticket booths to let them know what they should be looking for to get them in . go the extra mile to get the reader psyched to know just what to expect when they get to the park . even if the entrance of one ride and another is on opposite sides , as long as you group them together of nearby attractions , you can easily keep your reader thrilled and want to understand the step well enough . establish subsections of where the lands begin and end as the reader would walk through them . set steps up by themed land as with each land set as its own subsection of the steps top - level section of the article even if you cant read it or cant understand the best pattern of where the exits and entrances are - at least the readers can get a general idea of where the attractions are for themselves and can easily look to find the exact entrance pattern as they enter the park of if they still cant find the items entrance , can ask a nearby employee for help who should be able to give them better directions . if you have an article that needs to be written that you have subsections for and dont know wiki - formatting all that well , rather write the article as is and leave out the subsection title headers and go back and add the subsections following these guidelines later using guided or advanced editor formatting . parks not divided into individual lands can be set up as if the reader walks from one end of the park on one side to the back end of the park then coming back around and back to the main intersection where the turnstiles are . for each remaining step that you set up , make sure they have information for each attraction - ride or show - that the park has . although you want to avoid spoilers as much as genuinely possible , you can mention that there are certain areas that cant be missed and describe areas nearby the area that these rides show that this information could almost spoilers of , so the people dont miss them . describe the ride or attraction using an action verb at the front . remember , some nouns can become verbs , but youll want to catch yourself from using the better action verbs by doing researching on the potential verb alone at first to ensure the word can become a verb on its own . just because some attractions arent too famous , doesnt mean that it shouldnt be included . outside of food vendors all attractions should be explained in some respect inside the article . i . e . in seaworld parks , although roller coasters similar to manta and the like are very popular , there are also rather minor attractions such as dolphin shows and the famous shamu show along with otter shows and tanks where different types of fish can be watched by the visitors that most people who write these types of articles often miss that really make the article informative . if you still need help describing the attraction , inside some theme parks , you can sometimes find theme - park fanatics who will go out and record rides and post them on youtube as front - seaton - ride pov videos as was described before . if the park has any special fireworks or special daytime or nighttime parades , give them details into some of the parks parades . provide the location of the entrance point of the park and exit point and general parade route , if you have that information easily accessible . if you have watched a recent showing of the parade and noticed a really great spot that was never crowded , provide this viewing spot referencing nearby attractions and from what side of the walking path you were on . dont concern yourself on special fireworks or activities that only happen on select days . i . e . while most readers will want information on the fireworks shows at the disney parks but these articles have been covered already , once you get into talking about the slight variations of christmas and halloween versions of the shows and their tweaks , youll have lost your audience . at the very least , some great tips that fly well include well -

8 year old kids get antsy in this park and it seems like your day is lagging behind , give these kids some options . even though this park has a few areas where kids can explore and run out all their excitement , this may sometimes not be enough . if you haul around a double - seat stroller , and warnings just dont work , give them time in the stroller . if they dont fit , youll need to find some other way to draw out their energy . they will thank you for helping them take a load off their feet . these youngsters tend to draw energy out more quickly , and become cranky quicker . keep kids under age 5 on leashes arm straps at all times . dont allow your kids to remove them at any time . its hard to see your kids leashed up like a pet , but with the large amounts of guests in the park at any time , security is of utmost importance , and their leashes will help immensely . dont even remove them , when your kids are in their stroller , as it can take only a few seconds for the kid to get out and become missing the leashes only would allow the child to go so far as youd allow them to go . warnings always ride the ride with safety in mind . use all safety devices the ride operator provided for you and your family . rides occasionally close and change at this park . dont fear if your favorite ride has changed or has become defunct . something will be there to replace it over time . their replacements might be just as good as the ride you once loved . everybodys tastes are different . you can skip some rides if you dont have time or if the kids act up . some kids might be too churlish to some rides , while other rides might be too intense for the younger crowd , so you may want to skip these rides . although all disneyland and disney world usa -

prepare yourself in advance . pick out the ride you want to go on . get in the line . stand in the line . relax while you wait . | how to wait in line for an amusement park ride | if you already know youre going to a theme park that is known to have long lines , or if youre going there during the peak season school breaks , summer , etc . then you should prepare yourself by bringing things for the wait such as a book , mp3 player , magazine , cell phone , etc . you may see a roller - coaster from a distance that you may think you really want to go on , but you should really get closer to it and take a look at the rules and what it is about . choose carefully , because you might regret waiting a long time for a ride you found boring . in outdoor rides , if you are unsure whether you should ride the ride , watch it go a couple times . while the entire ride may not be visible to you , parts of it will most likely be . this will aid you in your decision . before you get in the line , take a look at the wait time sign if they have one , and ask yourself is it really worth the wait if it is , go ahead and go in the line . if not , leave and find other ride that suits your interests . the amount of time you should wait for a ride really depends on you and anyone else in your group . if you have people with you that you know simply cannot stand waiting , then if the wait seems a bit long , it may be best to skip the ride and come back to it later . if the sun is blazing , do your best to cover your head . this is because if youre way to hot , youre more likely to realize if the line is moving slowly or not . your best bet is to check the weather before you leave . if you see its going to be 100 degrees , then dress lightly and bring a hat . if its going to rain , bring an umbrella . weather may not always be correct , but it is better to be safe than sorry . if youre over - excited about the ride and want the line to move faster , slip on your headphones and listen to either a slow song , or one of your favorites . doing this will likely distract you in a good way , because youll be hearing music instead of focusing on all the people in the line . |

it has several stairs , that - though wide - have no other way to get down to the boats without wheeling down bumpety bumpety bump they have no elevator down nor are there any escalators either and the only way down is to push the chair or handicap furniture down these stairs stair -

roller coaster is rather new but very intense . most people come out saying this roller coaster is amazing or stunning all in itself . , watch the birds and take a few moments out to cool off from some of the intense rides youve visited today . catch a one - on - one question and answer session at the gate with a trainer . remember that the bald eagle is the united states national symbol , and so its nice to see these birds in a habit close to their own without them wandering too far away from being seen . although its nothing but a stage play , this is a great theater to rest tired feet after a long day of walking and riding other rides and attractions in this park . you arent too far from the entrance exit , but youre not cant possibly be quite finished just yet . styled after the attraction soarin at walt disney world and soarin over california at disneyland , this attraction is one not to be missed . however , they do warn that some people may want to miss this attraction whove had certain ailments such as recent pregnancies and surgeries and a few other reasons . you have to save the best and oldest remaining ride for last , but be careful if you dont like roller coasters that take you to unknown places in the dark at one point but for several minutes . the loch ness monster is busch gardens oldest steel roller coaster that is still in operation today , and is also the only remaining ride in the scotland area of the park . |

read the title - dead giveaway . read the subtitle - some titles are ambiguous , but subtitles tend to shed more light . read the preface - usually the writers explain exactly what the book is about . look at the table of contents - this will give you further information on the books subject structure and components . read the publishers blurb - usually located in the back , some are found in the books dust cover . identify important chapters to read and less important chapters . read the first and last lines of each paragraph to get a feel for the flow of argument and the topics of the chapter . | how to skim through a book | , this too is an excellent way to discover the gist of a book . , |
settle on a time to meet . decide how often to meet . choose the right atmosphere . offer snacks . keep things casual , but maintain a few rules . give your members an idea of how long the meetings should last . consider scheduling in a bit of extra time for socializing . | how to start a womens book club 1 | as a general rule , weeknights are better than weekends . narrowing down the best possible time can be a challenge in itself , though . a meeting that starts at 700 to 730 pm gives your members just enough time to eat dinner with their families and may make it possible for them to get back home before bedtime if they have children . meetings can start anytime between 630 pm and 800 pm if your target membership consists of single women or women without children . if you want members who are stay - at - home moms , you can also meet during the late morning or early afternoon when kids are at school . think of a meeting that starts sometime between 1000 am and 100 pm . most book clubs meet about once per month , since a monthly meeting gives each member ample time to read each book . if you want your book club to be a little closer knit , you can also meet on a weekly or bi - weekly basis to discuss each book as you read it . setting up checkpoints , such as having the first half of the book read within two weeks , can help keep members at the same pace . if you do opt to meet on a monthly basis , you can stay in touch in between meetings via e - mail . staying in touch with one another can be just as effective at building a stronger connection amongst your members as meeting in person each week . many womens book clubs are meant to be a little personal , so meeting in one anothers homes can work wonderfully . if you or your members feel uncomfortable with this idea , you can opt to meet at a coffee shop or library . take turns hosting . if you do meet at one anothers homes , ask each member who feels comfortable or who has the space to hold a few meetings in her home . this prevents the stress from resting squarely on the shoulders of one or two people . whether buying bottled water and commercially packaged cookies or baking a fancy layer cake and brewing homemade iced tea , refreshments are a good way to get people to relax and open up . the snacks can be as elaborate or simple as youd prefer , and you can also ask other members to contribute once your group gets established . a womens book club is a good way to make new friends , but if you keep the structure too loose , your club may lose its purpose . make it a rule that each member must read the book before coming to club . you should also have some rule or guideline about how often each member must show up , and you should strongly encourage members to let you or someone else know when they cannot come . the modern woman is a busy person , and knowing just how long a meeting will last can go a long way in encouraging her to come in the first place . many book clubs meet for about 60 minutes , but you can trim that down to 30 minutes if your members are exceptionally busy or if you meet on a weekly or bi - weekly basis . as your club members get closer , the temptation to talk about off - topic matters will almost certainly increase . you may want to schedule an extra 15 to 30 minutes before or after official book club business for members to chat and socialize about non - club matters . |
dont try to reinvent the wheel . think about how you would like the discussions to flow . make your website inviting . start with what you know . offer more to your readers than a book discussion . keep it fresh . market your new online group . make people feel welcome . | how to start an online book group | before you even think about the first book you want to offer for discussion , take some time to peruse existing online book clubs and check out what kind of software they are using . you dont have to be a software engineer in order to create a website . you might want to use a message board system , an email system or a blog . there are advantages and disadvantage to each option , and your choice should reflect the amount of time you have to devote to interaction . again , look at a variety of online book club websites and think about which type of discussion forum appeals to you . like it or not , first impressions still count . people see the graphics before they start to read the content . experiment with colors and different fonts . ask your family and close friends to look at your website , and ask them to navigate through it before it goes live . listen to the feedback and work on making your online book group site an enticing stop for book lovers . make your first book choice one that you are passionate about . be prepared to keep the discussion going . if you cant think of a list of questions , check out some reading group guides on the internet . here are some standard discussion questions you might want to use what do you think of the books title how deep into the book did you get before you understood the relevance of the title did the title reflect the main themes of the book what are the key characteristics of the protagonist how did the personality and life experience of the protagonist shape the direction of the novel did the action in the novel parallel important events in history did reading the book evoke any strong emotion in you did you cry did you laugh why was there one event in the novel that resonated with you deeply do some research on the author or the setting in the book . add links to book reviews , positive and negative , and ask your members to comment on those reviews . it takes time to build up a membership , and your members will grow if you keep the content fresh and interesting . keep all discussions active . ideally , you will want to check in with your website multiple times during each day . always provide new information so that your site doesnt appear to be stagnant . ask your family and friends to drop in and join in the discussion . invite all your facebook friends and all of your email contacts . print your own business cards with the name of your website ask the local book stores , coffee shops and libraries if you may leave your cards there . you can do this by following up on every comment so that your visitors dont feel like they are being ignored . its up to you to keep the conversation flowing . |
start small . ask friends and relatives . move on to acquaintances . advertise with caution . | how to start a womens book club 2 | a group of five to eight members can be cozy and may offer a diverse enough range of ideas to get things going . as your club gains momentum , you can consider picking up a few extra members—as long as your meeting space permits it , of course . you generally do not want to exceed 12 to 15 members , however , since larger numbers make it harder for everyone to speak . start with the women , especially those who you know love to read . if you cannot find enough women to join among your loved ones , you can ask the men in your life to pass word of your book club onto other women they know . women who you have a working relationship with or neighbors who you know but rarely speak to are good places to start . you can also extend the invitation to women you see all the time , like your favorite coffee shop clerk , as long as they are familiar enough with you to know your name and face . you can hang flyers up at the local library or post an ad in your citys newspaper , but you may not want to accept anyone and everyone who contacts you for further information . make sure that each woman who calls is really serious about attending , and ask a few questions over the phone to get to know her a bit before inviting her over to your house for the first meeting . if you invite too many women who you do not know , you may want to consider holding the first meeting in a public place . |
look for books that cover womens issues . search out books with strong female protagonists . study the works of female authors . start with books youve been dying to read . allow other members to make suggestions . come with discussion questions . ask the other members to come with questions . nudge the group back on track if the discussion gets derailed . | how to start a womens book club 3 | both historical and contemporary issues are up for grabs . just remember that not every woman will share the same opinion , especially concerning contemporary , political issues . keep an open mind and use the experience to learn from each other rather than arguing . women are generally more avid readers than men , so plenty of modern books follow the lives of savvy businesswomen or strong mothers . fill your book roster with these books to inspire and encourage your members . you can choose historically significant writers , like jane austen or the brontë sisters , or contemporary authors like p . d . james or nora roberts . you can also mix and match , and spend time comparing the ways that female writers of the past wrote versus female writers of the present . while your book club is just starting up , you may need to take the initiative and decide the first few books . if there are any you have in mind that might be a good fit for your womens book club , add them to the list . otherwise , you can look up a few bestseller lists to get ideas . after your club establishes itself , the other member will probably appreciate having the chance to offer their own input about the book selection . you can have each woman take turns choosing a book . alternatively , you could also have each member bring up a possible title whenever she thinks of one and have the book voted on as a group before adding it to the roster . as the founder of the group , you may need to kick off each meeting by getting the discussion going . ask questions that invite the other members to analyze themes , characters , or implications . stay away from questions that can be answered by sharing ones unfounded opinion or by stating a simple yes or no . if each member comes to the meeting with a question or unique insight , a broader range of perspectives can be covered . the conversation will last longer and be twice as thought - provoking . if your members stray too far away from discussing the book and start talking about other matters , politely step in and ask a question to get the conversation back to the book . |
figure out where to meet . set a meeting time . determine how often to gather . set a few ground rules to get running . be prepared to lead . | how to start an african american book club 1 | the meeting place you choose will determine the tone and size of your group . if you plan on keeping it in your home , or among the homes of your members , you should try to keep it a more intimate group consisting of no more than eight people . if you decide to use public space , like a library or a restaurant with a meeting room , you can open membership up to 12 or more members . the meeting time may need to be altered depending on what is most convenient for your members , but having a meeting time pre - determined can give prospective members an idea of whether or not they can fit the club into their schedules . meeting at night will open up club membership to working parents . weekends are generally out , though , since most people prefer to have weekends to themselves . if you do choose a weekend day , opt for sunday over saturday . giving your members a month to read a book makes it easier for busy members to finish the reading , but if you do not mind meeting to talk about the book as you read it , you could try meeting every week or every other week . just realize that busier members may not be able to make a weekly meeting . make sure to meet at roughly the same time each week or month . for instance , if you only meet once a month , you could hold your meetings on the second thursday of every month . if you meet twice a month , you could choose the first and third tuesday of every month . this consistency makes it easier for members to plan around the meeting . you do not need anything too elaborate or strict . you should consider setting rules about how many meetings members can miss or how often members can show up to meetings without doing the reading first . exceptions can always be made , of course , but having ground rules will help your members treat the club seriously . as the founder of the book club , it will likely fall to you to moderate discussions . make sure that the members stay on track and that conversation does not stray too far from topic . also be prepared to ask insightful questions to spur discussion . |
ask the people you know . post messages around town . put in a request with the venue . talk to other book clubs . | how to sustain book club membership 1 | many friends gravitate toward one another due to shared interests , making your circle of friends an ideal place to start . friends , family , and acquaintances are all up for grabs , though . you should only ask people who you think might be interested in joining for the sake of being part of a book club , rather than those who may agree to join just to please you . otherwise , the likelihood of you being able to keep them committed will not be as high . you can also ask the people you know to spread the word . your great aunt sally may not be interested in joining , but her best friends niece might be . mentioning your book club to non - interested parties and asking them to pass the word along is a simple way to advertise to people you do not know . look for community bulletin boards located in churches , libraries , or gyms . similarly , if your office has a bulletin board , feel free to post an advertisement for your book club there—as long as doing so does not violate office policy , of course . you could also try posting an invite to boards online , but you will need to find a website that tailors to your local community . a message board for your community will work , as will a free online classifieds service . if your book club meets a library or book store , ask the venue for help recruiting new members . a librarian or book store manager is likely to know many people who love books . if the person in charge has already allowed your book club to meet there , that person may also be willing to help you find interested members . book clubs are not necessarily competitive about membership . a book club that has grown too large for itself might be willing to give you the contact information for anyone who they needed to turn away due to size constraints . additionally , another book club may have a few members that might be interested in joining your club in addition to their original club if the focus is different . |
determine how exclusive membership should be . ask yourself if you want to limit membership on gender . figure out how many members you want . alert your family , friends , and acquaintances . even if no one you know wants to join your book club , someone may know someone who would . advertise your new book club . | how to start an african american book club 2 | as an african american book club , you have the option of limiting membership to african americans or opening it to anyone who is interested in studying african american literature . limiting membership may make everyone feel more comfortable and open about their remarks , but opening membership can ultimately provide a greater number of different perspectives . having a mixed - sex book club can lead to more interesting discussions , but limiting the membership by male or female can make your members feel more comfortable and may make it easier to choose books that appeal to the entire group . even if you do not put a limit on the gender , book clubs tend to be predominantly composed of females , so you may find yourself being part of an all - female book club without intending to be . a group that is too small will not be very lively , but a group that is too large may make it impossible for everyone who wants to speak to get a chance to do so . typically , book clubs have between 5 and 15 members . smaller groups have a more personal feeling to them , but larger groups invite a greater diversity in opinion . the more people you talk to about your book club , the greater your odds of spreading the word around your community are . ask your library , church , or local community center if you can post a flyer on their bulletin board . you can also post an ad on a free online classifieds for your city or community . in your advertisements , specify that you are starting an african american book club and provide an email address or phone number for interested parties to contact you at . |
narrow down your field of interest . set the tone . search african american book lists online . you can go to online african american book clubs and search their selection , or you can look at blogs , message boards , social network communities , online book lists , and other websites aimed at appealing to an african american demographic . contact online african american book clubs for suggestions . there are several notable online african american book clubs . | how to start an african american book club 3 | african american literature is a broad category . determine if you are want to cover fiction books , non - fiction books , or both . for fiction books , ask yourself if there are certain genres you want to cover or if any genre is fine . similarly , for non - fiction books , ask yourself if there are specific categories or topics that you want to include on your book list . if you want to start an african american book club that promotes books written by african americans , you can have a light - hearted tone and compile a list of contemporary novels . on the other hand , if you want to use the club to take a serious look at issues affecting african americans of both the past and present , the books you choose should be more literary , inspiration , or serious in tone . if opting for a book club that focuses on african american issues , you may also want to consider whether or not your club should only read books written by african americans . authors of other races have also written books dealing with african american issues , and these can be especially useful if you are interested in gauging perspectives of the past . , you might be able to contact the person running one of these clubs and ask him or her for book recommendations . if you explain that you are setting up an african american book club in your community , the online club might be more accommodating and helpful . |
keep the discussions lively . maintain a comfortable atmosphere . let everyone have their say . within any group of people , you will find talkers and listeners . make sure to read books that people want . set some rules about attendance . bribe members with food . simple refreshments , like coffee and cookies , can work for nearly any meeting . meet for a related event . keep everyone in the loop . | how to sustain book club membership 2 | one of the fastest ways to lose interest is to have meeting after meeting of awkward silence . people come to a book club to talk about books , and if the talking stops , so does the coming . come to each meeting with a list of open - ended questions to ask about each book . if you are the facilitator of the group , it is your responsibility to keep things on track when people start to get quiet or begin talking about too many off - topic matters . if you are only an ordinary member , you hold just as much responsibility as anyone else to speak up . anyone interested in generating further interest among the members of a book club must first go the extra length to show his or her own intense interest . a book club is nothing more than a social group that meets for a specific purpose . a good book club needs structure , but if you have too much structure , members may start to feel uncomfortable . a simple way to nurture a comfortable environment is to show interest in the other members . a simple greeting of its good to see you can go a long way in making someone feel welcome . that does not mean that the listeners have nothing of their own to add , though . pay close attention to the groups dynamics . if one or two people seem to control the entire conversation while someone else keeps getting interrupted , politely stop the talkers and casually ask for the oppressed listeners thoughts . another important thing to remember is that everyones opinion should be treated with respect . you may not agree with an interpretation that one of your clubs members brings up , but that is no reason for you or any other club member to be offensive . club members should discuss their different opinions civilly and be stopped once the conversation starts turning nasty . instead of letting one person have complete control over the reading list , your clubs membership will thrive longer if more people have a say . you can either take turns picking books or have the members vote on options brought up by everyone . whatever you choose to do , make sure that all the members feel as though their likes and dislikes are being addressed . book clubs only work if the members are willing to show up . everyone will inevitably miss a meeting here or there , but if someone consistently demonstrates a lack of interest by never showing up , it can be discouraging to the other members . it is better to cut that person loose and find a new member . forbidding members from attending if they are not up - to - date in their reading may turn some people away . on the other hand , being too lax about the reading requirement can lead to a room of people who have yet to make it past chapter five in the same book for the last three months . have a reading requirement , but enforce it loosely enough to keep people comfortable . you could also try enhancing the reading by making a related food selection . for instance , if a character talks about a certain dish in the book , try preparing that dish to bring to the club . similarly , if your club is reading an 18th century british classic , consider a snack that calls that era to mind . field trips and other fun events help the members bond as a group and may increase each members sense of attachment or belonging . if the book your club is reading was ever made into a film adaptation , meet separately one night for a showing of the movie . invite an expert to talk to your group . you can talk to a literature professor or local writer for generic books . if you are reading a book about a specific topic , you could also have an expert from that field come to your group and talk . read something local and visit the places mentioned in the book . oftentimes , you can find a book that centers around your hometown or a nearby area . read that book and take a field trip to the places mentioned in it . have a contact list with addresses , phone numbers , and email addresses . whenever there is a change , make sure to personally speak with each member to inform him or her of the change . if possible , you may even want to set up an email group or online community to make communication between members easier . |
stick with space - oriented sub - genres . make time for time . think of the future . escape to an alternate reality . be a punk . focus on technology . determine whether you want hard sci - fi or soft sci - fi . mix and match sub - genres . branch into other speculative fiction . compile a list of classics . pull books off the bestseller list . | how to start a science fiction book club 1 | space is one of the most commonly explored themes in science fiction , but within the broad category of space , there are a number of different sub - genres for you to build your book list from . these sub - genres include alien invasions , the colonization of different worlds , first contact , galactic empires , space exploration , and space operas . time travel is nearly as popular as space travel . it may be a little more difficult to find a plethora of time travel books , but you can weave one into your book list on occasion to mix things up . the majority of science fiction books take place at some point in the future , even those books that are oriented with space or technology . for some sci - fi sub - genres , however , thinking about the future is the main point rather than merely a setting detail . books that fall within the dystopian , human development , and pos - apocalyptic sub - genres are especially future - oriented . books are a sort of escape in and of themselves , but you can offer the members of your book group an even greater sense of escape by filling your book roster with alternate reality sub - genres . alternate realities include alternate histories and timelines , parallel dimensions , and virtual reality . the punk sub - genres are fairly recent , but growing in popularity . steampunk is the most notable punk sub - genre , but others , like cyberpunk , have since come into creation as well . steampunk takes place in victorian - esque settings but weaves fantastical steam and gear powered inventions into the story . cyberpunk pairs cybernetic technology with a breakdown of social order . technological feats are probably just as popular a theme in science fiction as space exploration . a book club focused on technology - based science fiction has a wide range of sub - genres to choose from , including artificial intelligence , nano - technology , mind uploading , and singularity—the idea of a major but short - live technological boom . hard sci - fi focuses on scientific accuracy , and most hard sci - fi deals with technology . soft sci - fi relies more heavily on sciences that are less precise , such as psychology and anthropology . if you only have an interest in certain types of science fiction , then you should build your club and its book roster around that interest . if , however , you have an interest in science fiction no matter what the genre is , you can spice things up by planning a book club that will cover a range of topics . sometimes the boundaries between science fiction , fantasy , and horror get blurred . for instance , some science fiction takes place in a future that has , for whatever reason , reverted back into fantasy - like sword - and - sorcery state . similarly , some post - apocalyptic books portray a world filled with the grotesque mutants and violence common to the horror genre . you can really push the envelop by including a few books that could be classified within these other genres . if you do not know where to start , consider paying homage to the classics that helped build the science fiction genre into what it is today . the list of science fiction classics includes , but is certainly not limited to , h . g . wellss the time machine and war of the worlds , philip k . dicks do androids dream of electric sheep , isaac asimovs i , robot , aldous huxleys brave new world , orson scott cards enders game , george orwells 1984 , and ray bradburys fahrenheit 451 . when all else fails , pull titles off bestselling science fiction lists . science fiction bestsellers usually consist of both recent titles and classics being turned into movies . |
settle on a number . contact friends and family . advertise . | how to start a science fiction book club 2 | a group that is too small may not have much to say , but a group that is too large may prevent some people from participating . usually , groups that range between 5 and 15 people are a good size . smaller groups will create a more personal atmosphere , but slightly larger groups will allow for a greater exchange of ideas and may be ideal for science fiction book clubs . ask anyone you know who likes science fiction to join your group . you can also bring it up to people who do not like sci - fi and ask them to pass word along to anyone they know who might be interested . put posters up in your local library or create ads on free online classifieds . you can also advertise in science fiction forums online . even though these forums already offer members the chance to discuss their favorite stories , some members may also be interested in participating in an actual book club , especially if they want to meet with local sci - fi fanatics in person . |
find a good meeting place . settle on a convenient meeting time . figure out how often to meet . make use of technology . cover the ground rules . learn how to lead . | how to start a science fiction book club 3 | the size of your group will likely impact the space you need in a meeting place . homes tend to work well for smaller groups , but library conference rooms and restaurants with secluded sections tend to work better for larger groups . alternatively , you can also meet online . if your members are scattered across a broad distance or simply prefer to interact via the computer , you can set up your own blog , e - mail list , or forum to facilitate discussion . in order to set up a time , you need to balance your members schedules . after dinner tends to be a popular choice , since most people work during the morning and afternoon , and participants with young children can put their kids down for the night before attending . meeting well after dinner also means that you do not need to provide a meal . if you want to discuss your books as you read them , then you may consider meeting every one or two weeks . if you prefer to discuss the books only after you finish them , however , you may opt for meeting on a monthly basis , especially since many science fiction books are fairly long and may take that long to finish if your members have busy schedules . this is a science fiction book club , after all , so the odds or running into a member with a technology phobia is rare . even if you meet offline and in person , you can still set up a blog or online forum to facilitate discussion in between meetings . you should also keep contact with your group via e - mail to inform them of any changes or other pertinent information . stress the importance of reading the books and making the meetings . without these two elements , your book club will completely fall apart . you should also make sure that each member knows when your club meets , how long meetings will last , and any rules surrounding the discussion of books in your club . you will need to decide whether you will moderate each session or if you will take turns with other members . you should also determine whether to follow a formal set of discussion questions or if you would rather have a loose , casual conversation about the books . |

follow your idol on social media sites . post thoughtful comments . respond to your idols social media messages . share your idols social media messages . contact your idol directly through social media sites . | how to meet your idol 1 | social media has made the world a smaller place , making people like celebrities who were previously inaccessible to us much more so . it also benefits celebrities to have followers because the more fans they have , the more endorsements they get and products they sell . it also influences their pay scale and opportunities for more work . the two primary sites for connecting with your idol are facebook and twitter . with facebook , you can follow someone even if you are not friends , as long as the person has made his or her profile available to the public . for many high - profile public figures , facebook verifies the person is who he or she claims to be , placing a blue badge , or check mark , next to the persons name . with twitter , you can follow whomever you want . however , you cannot directly message someone who does not also follow you , nor will your tweets appear in the other persons feed . finally , while you cannot follow your idol on linkedin , you can connect with other linkedin members by sending them requests . if youre able to post comments , based upon how the person has set up his or her account , comment upon what you like about his or her work , how it inspires you , ways in which you may have used it for charitable purposes and the like . avoid overdoing it . you should not post multiple times per day , let alone multiple times per week . that begins to look like stalking and will not get you what you want – contact with your idol . you could also find yourself blocked . if your postings goes unnoticed or if it takes a long time to get a response , dont get upset . celebrities are inundated with requests for their time , along with messages and a steady stream of social media chatter . and never leave a snarky remark in response to feeling rejected or for any other reason . doing so will drastically decrease your chances of meeting your idol . additionally , keep in mind that while some celebrities work on all aspects of their social media sites themselves , others do not . instead , they hire agencies to do this for them . this is another way to get on your idols radar . again , you want to be thoughtful in your replies . demonstrate that youre not only articulate but that you also know about what youre writing . opinions are great , but opinions backed by facts , including references to things demonstrating to your idol youve been a longtime fan , are better . also consider sharing something youve created that relates to what your idol is discussing . on facebook , you simply comment on the persons post if public comments are allowed . on twitter , you can reply to your idols tweet however , replies will not show up on his or her home timeline if your idol doesnt follow you . one way to get your idol to notice you , and hopefully to respond , is by sharing their messages and content , particularly those they ask fans to share . for example , if your idol asks followers to repost or retweet information pertaining to his or her favorite charity , an upcoming performance or event , a personal statement contradicting tabloid rumors or a statement supporting another in the industry , do so . send your idol a message a explaining who you are and b either asking him or her a question or explaining why youd like to talk or meet . be polite and professional . dont start off by telling your idol how youre his or her biggest fan ever or that youve listened to every album ever recorded . a lot of people have . you need to stand out , and to do that you should do the opposite of what most fans do when writing letters and messaging their idols . in other words , dont gush , blabber , use too many exclamation points , include hearts or other emoticons , express your undying devotion and love , etc . write to your idol politely , in a clear and concise manner and using a standard letter format . quickly get to the point , which is to either ask a question or explain why you want to talk or meet . next give your idol a compelling reason to want to respond . except under certain circumstances hes your professor or there are serious time constraints , for example , it could be in your best interests to start a dialog before diving right in and asking to meet your idol first . you might consider creating a video or slideshow instead of a letter , as long as it is short , professional and to the point . skip the singing and dancing . dont be afraid to contact your idol again in a few weeks . remember , he or she is likely a very busy person . when doing so , begin by referring back to your previous message and include it below the second . |
go to book signings . buy vip tickets . pay for fan clubs or upgraded fan - club levels . attend movie premieres , awards programs , film festivals and other ticketed events . do what your idol does . | how to meet your idol 2 | your idol may be a relatively unknown but up - and - coming author whos set to sign books at barnes nobles next month in your city . heres your change to meet her book signings are also a great way to meet both world figures and celebrities . increasingly , celebrities are writing memoirs and actresses and actors are appearing at signings that coincide with the openings of the movies they starred in from that particular book series . in almost all cases , you are required to buy the book from the bookstore hosting the signing , so make sure you bring along enough money to buy one . consider buying more than one book , so you have extra time with your idol . to find out if your idol is having a book signing for a recently published book , look for a social media announcement from your idol go to the publishers website and its social media sites look on major retailers websites like barnes noble and talk with local bookstores , particularly if you live in a major metropolitan area . in case youve always wondered but never thought to ask , vip means very important person . you can be one , too , for the right price . usually , that price is high . yet purchasing vip tickets to concerts , plays , comedy shows , the ballet and sporting events come with a variety of perks . one of those perks is often a meet and greet pass . depending upon the event , this could mean you meet your idol or that you meet someone or several people that are part of , for example , a ballet troupe or a baseball team . this could include your idol . you also often get a photograph as a part of vip packages , and , in some cases , much more , such as invites to pre - or post - event parties . make sure that you read the details carefully . you can get vip tickets in a number of ways – from ticketing services like vipnation . com , ticketmaster . com , viptickets . com , premiumseatsusa . com and from the venues and organizations themselves . not all events will have vip tickets , and youll want to buy them either through pre - sales offers or within minutes of tickets going on sale for many events . often , joining an official fan club is free , and with some you can get one of the most coveted perks of belonging to a fan club – being included in a lottery or drawing to win a meet and greet pass after you buy a ticket to a show or event . frequently , however , this opportunity is only available when you upgrade your membership , or pay for a higher level . plenty of fan clubs , however , are not free for even basic membership . many of these , such as certain major league sports team fan clubs , will go beyond basic meet and greets and include invitations to dinners and other events . some of the other benefits of upgrading and paying for fan clubs include access to dress rehearsals and practices where you might get more than a handshake and a photo , online chats and conference calls and dibs on pre - sales tickets which can help get vip tickets . while major movie awards programs like the golden globes and the oscars are virtually impossible to get tickets to , even for those in the industry , others such as the bet music awards are possible . these , along with movie premieres and film festivals , give you an opportunity to potentially meet countless celebrities . if your idol is less well known , see if he or she has a website that lists upcoming speaking events or performances nearby or in your area . some may even be free . heres a good site for finding tickets for movie premieres , film festivals and awards shows thevipconcierge . com . this might be leaning to the stalker side , but if you know that your idol works out a particular gym , for instance , you might consider joining the same gym . if you know that your idol always attends lakers games and sits in a specific spot , you might try to get seats nearby . if , for example , your idol is your towns former mayor , and she eats at the same diner every wednesday for lunch , you might eat there as well . strike up a conversation and offer to pay for her lunch |
get a press pass . attend free speeches , lectures , demonstrations and gallery openings . use your connections and network . obtain tickets to talk shows . wait by theater stage doors . go to filmings . be a seat filler at awards shows . enter and hopefully win a contest . get a job where your idol goes . find a way backstage . determine where your idol is staying . | how to meet your idol 3 | optimally , you would already be a legitimate member of the media and , therefore , have an opportunity to get a press pass allowing you backstage for a variety of events . press passes arent , however , given to all media outlets for all events as theyre limited in number . if youre not a working member of the media , consider joining your student newspaper getting an internship at a local newspaper , radio or tv station or offering to cover the event for free for a local publication . however you go about it , the rewards could be substantial – time spent interviewing your idol , hanging around after the event and even perhaps striking up a friendship . if youre an indie blogger or journalist , email the event organizer or press contact person several weeks before the event , explain who you are and what you do , provide links to work samples and request a press pass for the event . call in one week if you didnt receive a reply to your email . additionally , it might be helpful to become a member of the international association of freelance journalists , which can help bloggers and freelancers get press credentials . for many , their idols arent seemingly untouchable multi - millionaires that appear to exist in an alternate universe . they are emerging or just really good local artists and musicians , retired academics or nasa engineers , activists from the 1960s civil rights movement or small - city gardening experts . going to these types of events provide excellent opportunities to meet your idol and likely walk away with more than an autograph or photo . to find out about these events , read your local newspapers and magazines look for fliers posted at public libraries and in other public places visit college , university and local tourist websites and the like . you know someone who knows someone whose cousin went to school with your idol . sometimes all it takes to hit pay dirt is to look through your all your contacts and start making calls to people you think might know someone to get you to the person with direct access to your idol . as they say , theres only six degrees of separation between any two people . also , social networking sites can be very useful tools in this endeavor , so dont overlook themif it doesnt happen immediately , create new relationships and cultivate the old to get you closer . you never know when someone you might have scratched off your list is suddenly back in touch with a missing link . celebrities and public figures frequently appear on talk shows , in large part to promote their latest ventures or agendas – new movies , tv shows , clothing lines , albums , books , causes , charities and so forth . most daytime and evening talk shows are free , though you often have to wait a long time to get tickets , if you ever do . nonetheless , if you do manage to get a ticket , you might just meet your idol either during the show , if youre very lucky , or before if you play your cards right . heres how it works and what you need to do . often celebrity guests will arrive about an hour before the taping through a side door . in many cases , like with major stars or public figures , some type of barrier is erected . youll a need to know if and when your idol is appearing on a talk show , b where the stage door is located prior to the day of taping and c ensure youre there about 2 hours early . bring whatever you want signed , something easy to write with like a felt - tip pen , your camera fully charged and ready , a smile and good manners . taping schedules and guest lists are on each shows website , or you can look here , too onlocationvacations . comtalk - show - guest - schedule . waiting outside theater stage doors is a bit different from talk shows in that theatre productions have both matinee and evening shows , sometimes require actors spending a long time in make - up and often travel from one city to another . its often best to avoid the matinee shows as actors may not leave before the evening performance . friday and saturday nights arent the best times either because youll be one amongst so many fighting for your idols attention . finally , dont go to the last night of the show because the crew will often be packing up to leave . here are some more tips . try to stand near the theater wall just to the left or to the right of the stage door to , essentially , block your idols way before he or she can get too far . if theres a large crowd , stand back , directly opposite from the door and wait until the crowd breaks before approaching . you may even have more time with your idol this way . always be polite , congratulate your idol on a great performance , have your paper or playbill , pen and camera ready and say thank you . television shows and movies film in cities around the world , though many are filmed in los angeles and new york city . if you happen to live where a show or movie is being filmed , you might randomly stumble upon a filming . but if youre focusing on meeting your idol , you need to know where to look . research what your idol is next starring in and then find out where the show or movie will be shot . heres a site to help determine this onlocationvacations . com . once there , find your idols trailer and navigate around security so you can wait outside of it . its certainly not subtle , but if you are polite and dont behave in a way to frighten your idol , you might get a quick chat and a photo . because producers dont want viewers to see empty seats when the cameras are directed at the audience , they hire people to wait in the proverbial wings to slide into these seats when people go to the stage or take inevitable bathroom breaks . being a seat filler wont be glamorous , and you likely wont be paid . you may not fill your idols seat , but you might . or , perhaps , your idol could be sitting nearby and whomever left the seat never returns you may even get lucky while youre standing in the periphery before , during or after the show . oftentimes radio stations put on contests for tickets , backstage passes and meet and greets for upcoming concerts . it often goes like this , be the 6th lucky caller , and youll win two vip tickets and backstage passes to see acdc friday night at alltel arena other times the djs will ask the caller to answer an odd quiz and , increasingly , you simply fill out a form on the stations website to enter a drawing . a variety of other companies and organizations participate in contests for free tickets and sometimes amazing winnings , not only to concerts but also to sporting , cultural and theatrical events . this might take some semi - stalking , but if you can find out where your idol regularly eats or shops , try to get a job there . this might provide more interaction with your idol than most of the other means discussed . after all , if youre helping your idol find the perfect book for his mothers birthday , youll likely end up talking a good bit . or , if youre doing a good job as a waitress or waiter , you wont only list the specials , take his or her order and deliver your idols drink and food . unless you have a press pass , are a crew member , special to a member of the band or other group performing , affiliated with the band or group or bought a special vip package , itll be tough getting a backstage pass . with that said , it can be done in one of three primary ways . the first relates to bands and involves joining or creating a street team , or a group of people who promote a band , both on the streets and now online . the second is by getting a job working at the venue where the event will be held . and the third requires a lot of schmoozing . heres how it works . first , if you didnt get a job working at the venue , go to the venue and start chatting up the venue workers prior to the event . be very friendly and offer to help . if this doesnt work , try to make friends with the opening acts when they arrive and see if you can get a pass that way . express a sincere interest in their music and in your desire to meet more people involved in the tour . if this fails , move on to the concert crew theyll typically be the ones dressed in black . offer to help move things and set up equipment , talk about the tour , throw out hints and see if anyone bites . and if all of this fails , and youre still dying to meet your idol , the tour bus will be in the parking lot near the back entrance or by the loading dock . but be warned , roadies may be around with hopes of their own . and for the final , and perhaps most creepy , means of meeting your idol , find out the hotel in which he or she is staying and then wait outside . the best way to do this is to check out paparazzi photos online to determine his or her location . or , spend a couple of evenings in the hotel bar in hopes of meeting your idol . another option is nefarious , and not particularly wise , but possibly successful . follow the band or other group of which your idol belongs and its entourage to the hotel , walk in with them as if obviously a guest , grab a drink and mingle . but not with the band or security , at least not at first . |

dress to impress . express your excitement . ask for an autograph or photograph . be polite . | how to meet selena gomez 3 | meeting selena gomez could be a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity . you do not need to wear anything formal but try to put your best foot forward regarding your clothes and appearance . doing so could make you stand out from the rest of the crowd and improve your chances of being noticed . consider wearing a fan shirt . you can buy an official concert tour shirt or you could make your own shirt that has text or images expressing how big of a fan you are . consider putting together an outfit together with garments from her clothing line , dream out loud . show excitement when you see her to make yourself stand out in the crowd . if you actually get to meet her one - on - one , express your enthusiasm in your words , tone of voice , and body language to leave the strongest impression possible and to make the occasion memorable for everyone . most celebrities will enjoy hearing how much you love their work . consider saying something along the lines of , i love your new album . ‘revival is my favorite song avoid touching her without permission . if youd like a hug be sure to ask her first . never grab her arms or reach for her – thats the quickest way to lose her attention . dont be pushy . these mementos are great ways to remember meeting her and depending on the circumstances she might oblige . however , there could be some situations in which such actions are not feasible . if your request is denied , accept that fact and move on . for example , if you ask her for her autograph while shes trying to get to an event she may not have time to stop for you . courtesy is always important no matter what but you should be especially courteous during a moment like this . after all , being remembered as someone who caused a disruption or created a problem could have serious long - lasting consequences . besides , who would want their idol to remember them as a rude person be courteous when approaching her . if you spot her by chance while she is clearly in the middle of a date , meal , or casual evening out , it would be polite to leave her alone . |

consider your location . get involved in something that brings you close to celebrities . attend a meet n greet . send your celebrity mail . meet a celebrity through a mutual acquaintance . maintain your composure . treat the celebrity as you would anyone else . although it depends on their level of fame , famous people tend to be used to people sucking up to them or going nuts at their mere presence . remember to be polite . add your two cents to the conversation . most people approach meeting a celebrity as a one - sided ordeal . know when to say goodbye . | how to meet a famous person | location is everything . if you want to maximize your chances of running into celebrities , its important to consider where you live and how likely famous people are to frequent your neighbourhood . cultural hubs like los angeles , new york and london are far better - suited to meeting celebrities than any small town . check online to see if there are any places in your city where celebrities are known to hang out . even if youre already living in a right city to meet somebody famous , you should consider the spots you frequent . different environments will attract different kinds of famous people , but ritzy environments like nightclubs and fancy restaurants are the most likely place to run into celebrities . think of the kinds of people that brush shoulders with famous people on a regular basis . media and field - specific professionals like film set crew etc . are used to dealing with celebrities because its part of their job to do so . if youre interested in meeting a famous person , you might try getting involved in something that will put you on the front lines . start a webzine , and try to get press passes into media events . send requests to press agents to interview celebrities . depending on the level of fame the person has , your chances of getting a response may be low . doing something like this will make your interaction with a celebrity much more fluid and natural than if you were approaching them purely as a fan . many celebrities use their fame to advance pet causes they are personally passionate about . for instance , you might show an interest in the vips charity of choice and volunteer time into it . this will immediately offer common ground between the two of you with which to build a mutually respectful relationship . meet n greets are specifically there for fans to meet their idols , and vice - versa . although you wont likely have a lot of time to talk to the celebrity in question , its still a controlled and relatively certain way of meeting a famous person you respect . if you do end up chatting , make sure its convenient for the celebrity . check online for scheduled appearances . most celebrities have a webpage that will catalogue or list all of their public appearances . if your availability permits , you might try going to one of them . touring bands often have meet n greets prior to going on stage . n the case of bands , you can sometimes purchase vip ticket packages to meet the musicians before the performance as well . vip packages tend to be significantly more expensive than regular tickets , so weigh the benefits and whether or not the cost is worth it to you . even if meeting the celebrity in person is out of the question at the moment , you can still send an email letting him know you respect his work and achievements . given that the schedules of famous people dont allow much time for dawdling , its important to keep your email relatively brief . state briefly who you are and what you do , followed by a short body of the message where youll speak your piece . dont get bogged down in detail . an excessively long email will probably be deleted before its ever read . if your email leaves room for the possibility of a response , dont hold your breath . even if the person gets around to responding , it may be weeks or even months before a proper response gets through . just like anyone else , the best way to meet a famous person is via a mutual friend . if youre meeting the vip through someone they already respect , it will bode well for the way they react towards you . more importantly , youll be meeting the celebrity on relatively equal grounds compared to the imbalanced fan interaction he is probably used to . most famous people will react in a fairly predictable manner if someone is going nuts over them . unless the celebrity in question is a total diva , chances are she isnt going to want to have a fuss made over her . if you are talking to a famous person , your best bet is to interact with them much as you would with a regular person you have respect for if you dont think you can meet this person without bursting into hysterics , its probably best to hold off on meeting the person altogether . if you stay calm and act towards them like you would anyone else , they will feel soothed by your presence . act as you regularly would . if youre not focused so much on the fact that youre in the presence of a celebrity , the interaction will turn out much more fluidly . if the famous person you are talking to has been featured in tabloids lately , its probably not a good idea to bring that up . in fact , it is best that you try to steer clear of anything of a potentially inflammatory nature . although it may be celebrity gossip to everyone else , this person has a life , and he may not want to talk about it , especially with someone hes just met . on the topic of politeness , you should ask before taking pictures . while it might feel very important for you to get a souvenir of the occasion , snapping a photograph is really inconsiderate . politeness includes not interrupting a conversation between the celebrity and someone else . while you may be desperate to get an inch in , its not gong to do anything to get you in the vips good graces . while it indeed may be more special to meet someone youve only seen before in newspapers or films , that doesnt mean the conversation should be all about the celebrity . dont be afraid to give your opinions . comment on things that have nothing to do with the fact that the person youre talking to happens to be famous . not only will you feel empowered by sharing your opinions with a celebrity the celebrity himself is also bound to get a lot more out of the conversation . if you want to have some kind of lasting relationship with this person , there needs to be mutual respect . that means you have to take your interactions to a higher level than simple fandom . keeping celebrities tight schedules in mind , the last thing you want to do is hog up their time . in some cases , a celebrity may be too polite than to tell you he needs to get out of there . you should bear their time in mind , and dont keep them occupied more than would seem appropriate . when it comes time to say goodbye , extend your hand and give them a warm greeting as you would with anyone else . treating someone with warmth and compassion will leave a big impression . that rings true regardless whether someone is famous or not . |

porn related . look at himher as more than a sexual object . support their work in the porn industry . | how to meet a porn star in your area | porn conventions usually take place in large facilities like convention halls . some porn star conventions travel around , while others are stationary annually . check newspapers , magazines , or online to find out when and where shows are . they will list them in events or news . make sure to write down the location and time on a piece of paper so you do not forget . this is critical because porn conventions are usually packed . people reserve their tickets months ahead of time . therefore , the conventions will be almost impossible to get into the day of . use the online site of the porn convention , or use the phone number you find in the newspapermagazine to preorder tickets . each picture andor signature of a porn star costs money , as does the initial entry fee . there are also plenty of sex toys , novelties , and food to purchase . carry some extra money in your walletpurse . make sure that you carry cash , in case some booths do not accept credit cards . while you are seeking a porn star nearby , the convention hall is likely not to be next door to your house . that means you will need to schedule ahead how long you need to drive , how much gas you will need , a hotel to stay inif overnight , and bus tickets to get to the hall itself . use an online hotel website to find the perfect place to stay . use sites like google maps to find nearby busingpublic transportation near the convention center . a trip to a porn convention is not for everyone . choose friends who are open minded . ask them what they think about porn . whether they have any favorite porn actressesactors . a group of close girlsguys almost always works best . if you are an open - minded couple , this might be something you are interested in as well . your porn stars only appear at certain times , at certain locations within the convention hall . print out a copy of the event schedule , usually found on their online website . map out when and where you need to be , and estimate how long it will take you to walk to each location . you can also pick up a schedule when you enter the convention hall , but you wont be able to plan ahead . outside porn conventions are usually a set of protestors , of a religiousmoral nature . these are to be expected . there are also those who flash throughout the convention hall . this is also to be expected . porn conventions are a mixed bag , full of surprises , so go into it with an open mind . people start camping out to these events , sometimes days in advance . while it is not necessary to get there that early , you should try to get there when it opens . this will alleviate some of the more heavy traffic you might experience in the convention hall during primetime hours . you can also get some of your desired visits out of the way , and just relax the rest of the time there . find the location of your favorite porn star to get your movies , posters , and pictures signed . you will also want to bring a camera so that you can get your picture taken with him or her . spend time chatting , whether it be small talk , or how much you appreciate their work . this is your chance to meet and interact , so take advantage of your time . while nudity is prohibited at these conventions , there are usually porn stars or strippers dancing . they might be doing this on a pole or on stage . feel free to watch and have a good time . while you can certainly ask porn stars questions at their individual booths , there tend to be lines . this means you have to get in and out in an timely manner . however , often times porn stars conduct forums at these conventions . these are times where porn stars open up on stage about their personal and professional life . feel free to ask them questions you have about them , or the industry as a whole . while meeting a porn star in the flesh can be difficult , you can always find them online . plenty of sites showcase professional and amateur porn stars who cam . this is where they interact through textchat while they strip . because a lot of these stars are amateurs , you might even be able to meet up with one of them for one - on - one time . the first major step is to search for cam girlsguys online , and find some that you are interested in . whether you are in a public chatroom , or in private one - on - one time , it is important that you are serious in your dialogue . do not use slang , or be rude to the model . be respectful , and have a decent conversation , whether it be small talk or sexual in nature . ask them questions about their life , what they like to do in bed , or fun hobbies they have . these are not objects , but human beings with real emotions . even if you are just joining a cam site to say hi and talk , it is important that you pay the star tips . tips are usually a small dollar amount that you give them to show you appreciate them . this is often times how many of these stars make a living . it is rude to simply take advantage of them and not pay . you will need a credit card in order to pay the girlsguys tips . these sites are protected by security and privacy measures . however , if you do not feel comfortable giving out your credit number , these sites are probably not for you . make sure that when you are charged , it is written down discretely on your credit card bill if you do not want to raise suspicion . sometimes you might meet someone on a camming website and really hit it off . you might even want to meet the person in real life . in that case , it is important to set up the parameters beforehand . what time you are meeting , where you are meeting , and what you plan to do on that date . is it purely sexual , a date , or simply a chance to have fun with another person it is probably best to bring a friend along to bail you out , just in case you meet someone a little sketchy . there are plenty of people on the internet looking to make a fool out of someone . whether it be standing them up on a date , or stealing their identity . it is always best to double and triple check information . never meet someone outside of your home that you have not seen at least on a cam before . never give out personal identity information online , or to someone you barely know . if you decide to go out on a date with the cam star it is best to treat it as a real date . do not view the person as a sexual object . ask them normal questions , like how your day is going , or what do you like to do . focusing on hisher cam work can be nauseating and a turn - off . instead , relax , and spend time getting familiar with the cam star . unless you live in los angeles , it is very unlikely you will simply run into a porn star . however , you may meet someone online , like a cam star , whom you wish to meet up with . you may have also been introduced to a porncam star through a friendacquaintance . in that case , it is best to treat the situationmeet - up professionally . shake the persons hand , and tell them your name . let them know what you do for a living . share some background about your family , and origin . after you have introduced yourself , ask the person where heshe would like to go on a date . if you have ideas in mind for a restaurant , or movie this is even better . be confident when you ask the person for the date , otherwise they might view you as being intimidated . whether it be hisher eyes , hair , demeanor , dimples , laugh , sense of humor , or clothing style . especially in the first couple of dates , it is best to stay away from talking porn too much . obviously a little is necessary in order to understand their professional work , but dont overdo it . focus on what makes the person an individual . while the person might have a higher sex drive , it is not up to you to judge simply because of the persons work . a date with a porn star is just like any other date . it is not a free chance at easy sex . porn stars are people with feelings , and real human experiences . focus on emotions , common goals in life , and passions . look at the person as a soon wifehusband to be . ask yourself , what good and bad qualities do you see in them do they reflect your own , if you plan on dating a porn star , you are going to need to be accepting of their work . each person chooses their own destiny in life . a few dates in , talk about some parameters . maybe when and where they will be filming the pornographic movies . discuss with them how their work conflicts andor agrees with your own goals and beliefs . |
