Good for you. If you don't mind me asking what do you do? You obviously don't have to be specific. I have a bunch of PR friends and even they don't go to as many events as you do.

I moved from PR ages ago, still dip in there a lot but now working in cinema; I manage an international docs & films sales company... Based in the UK, travel an awful lot around the world and meet everyone, essentially distributors but also lots of known like less known directors, actors etc. Meet a lot of fantastic people like lot of entitled anal sores, and yes met an awful lot of celebs the list would be long haha!.. Anyhoo so yeah lots of pressure but also lots of fun it keeps the balance :)

so yeah still connected to PR because they organize all the diners and after party etc. So I bump into old colleagues and also work with them when my company wants to organize a diner with potential buyers, producers and actors to get acquainted etc.
That's pretty much it.

Ah ok. I couldn't figure out what required so much travel.

After spending a lot of time with Indiewire’s Eric Kohn, McQueen excused himself to relax at the bar. The music was playing loudly and Fassbender began to dance. If there was one person in the room who was truly happy it was him. He and Nyong’o shared a few numbers before it quieted down.

Here's the article in it's entirety for those interested.

Quoted are the parts involving Fassbender.

As good as Shame was, it had enough naysayers to prevent it from finding much traction in the awards circuit. It was misunderstood by many men much the way Blue is the Warmest Colour will be misinterpreted by some women. Male ambivalence about watching a sex addict probably has something to do with Fassbender being such a good looking guy who can snap his fingers and the women drop their clothes. With 12 Years, they needn’t worry; Fassbender has transformed into the worst kind of man.

Tomris and I walked ahead until we got to the park. Michael Fassbender came whirling by with a few friends and then disappeared down into a bar. A cloud of marijuana magically appeared. Come to Colorado and everyone will always be stoned now that pot is legal here. Everywhere you turn someone is hitting the ganja.

It looked like it would a clear night. Maybe there would be stars after all. With a few of my colleagues in tow, Jeff Wells among them, we landed at the Fox Searchlight party at the Sheridan. The open bar kept the drinks flowing. Tiny crab cakes and chicken satay were served on clean white plates to the journalists waiting for Steve McQueen, Michael Fassbender, Lupita Nyong’o and the film’s extraordinary star, Chiwetel Ejiofor.

The party wore on. McQueen was tired and jet-lagged, so interviews with him were tough to get. After spending a lot of time with Indiewire’s Eric Kohn, McQueen excused himself to relax at the bar. The music was playing loudly and Fassbender began to dance. If there was one person in the room who was truly happy it was him. He and Nyong’o shared a few numbers before it quieted down.

And the scalping prices are insane.

Oscar blogger Jeff Wells wrote a whole blog post about his interaction with MF. Jeff Wells is incredibly weird, just so you know.

I sometimes dance a bit when I feel good. A subtle kind of slow-roll thing. Low-key, hip-shakey, bop-shoo-woppy. Never on a dance floor, of course, but at a party, in a parking lot, in a checkout line…anywhere but in a ****ing club. Why am I mentioning this? Because this is what Michael Fassbender was doing Saturday night at the 12 Years A Slave party in Telluride.

Or he did, at least, during…oh, the first 20 or 30 minutes when he was talking to his friends and colleagues. He seemed to be saying to himself (and to any perceptive person who was watching), “This is good, this party. I feel nice…uhm-hmm. I’m just gonna cut loose a little bit.” He was talking and listening and being the debonair adult, of course, but he was doin’ it besides. Like he was dancing to “All Shook Up.” And I was saying to myself, “This guy is cool because he dances whenever and wherever. Like me, he’s a free man in Paris. He doesn’t need a ****ing dance floor.”

I was so in awe that I devolved into a fan mentality when I spoke to Fassbender 10 or 15 minutes later. For some reason I asked him where his character’s plantation was located and…****ing Christ, did I just ask Fassbender a question I could answer in 10 or 12 seconds by going on the IMDB? Stunned by my faux pas, I quickly said, “I mean, I know…kind of a dip**** question, right? I could get this info by going online.” And then Fassbender, to his immense and lasting credit, looked me in the eye and said without a smirk or the slightest tone of condescension, “Then why don’t you go online to get it?”

And he was right! Honesty blast! When I’ve said something asinine I know it right away and MF was straight enough to say, “Yeah, I agree with you!” I laughed (well, chortled) and recovered by sharing my feelings about 12 Years A Slave when I caught it the previous night at the Palm. And then we talked about the feelings everyone seemed to be having after it ended. And that was all right.

And then my dp friend Svetlana Cvetko (Inequality For All, Inside Job) stepped in and started speaking with him, and then maybe ten minutes later I sauntered over and said, “Michael, could I get a photo for my column?” And Fassbender said, “You know what, man? I’d rather not.” But not in a snide or dismissive way. It was almost a pleading thing. His eyes seemed to say, “Do you get this? It’s not you…I just don’t feel like it.” And I said, “That’s cool, man…no worries.” And we gave each other a little upper-arm, top-of the-shoulder reassurance pat and that was that.

I patiently await the made-up stories: I hope they will be brief and witty. As usual there will be no accompanying photos. I will get all the details from outside and will be able to verify ....................
Let the games begin........
