How it All Started...
In 1987, long before the web came along, I stumbled on a mail-order ad offering a little brochure called VIP: The Complete Manual to Acquiring Backstage Passes. It was only just about thirty dollars, so I took a gamble and bought it.
The author had discovered an (almost) foolproof way to beat the system and get "Special Access" passes to all kinds of events!
In the ad, he mentioned that had used this know how to get:
- VIP passes to film sets
- Tickets to the Academy Awards®
- Of course, I had my doubts.
- Invitations to the White Home
- Front-row passes to sporting events
- Backstage passes to concerts
But once the book finally came, I see it all the way through... twice. I knew instantly that he actually had patterned it out!
