I saw jesse cook - a canadian guitarist a couple of months ago in YYZ T1 MLLJesse Cook website
He was sitting by himself between the salad bar and the TV.
I have always wondered what to do when I saw someone famous in the lounge - if I should go up to them or not - They are there for the same solitude as the rest of us.
I chose to introduce myself, and ask if it was OK to chat. I commented on a recent concert at which I had seen him. Yes, I asked for an autrograph, addressed to Ms. Hussar. She is the reason we went to his concerts. And boy did it get me some brownie points from her!!!
What do other people do when they see someone famous in the lounge?

Perhaps. Or, alternatively, a Minister of the Crown travelling on official business....hard to believe, yet it does happen.
