The friend I'm visiting in Austin was a press photographer in college at Baylor. He really learned to smooze his way into place he was not invited. When visiting if we hear of something interesting off we go and we've never NOT gotten in.

Went to a media developers trade show, tools for making movies, games, photos, software, training, all that stuff. We showed up the evening before the show while the companies were setting up. We walked around and he would drop names and asked questions. I had the show people show me how their stuff worked. They, of course, shot and used a picture of me. They liked it because it gave them the opportunity to test their booth setup.

The next day we walked right into the show because the door people recognized us. Didn't even ask for ID. Once in I noticed I got all kinds of stares from the show goers. Then I realized almost all the booths were still using my picture! It was hilarious, me everywhere! AND it got us into even more invitation only stuff because I somehow looked familiar. Ha ha ha.
