I'm With, Um, That Guy Over There

This article profiles Adrian Maher. You don't know who Adrian Maher is? You'll be forgiven, because the only people who DO know who he is are security guards at every Hollywood institution. That's because Adrian Maher was, until increased anti-terrorism measures made security too tight, Hollywood's premier party crasher. He got into Oscar parties and figured out ways to get into practically every venue and hit the buffet and open bars and mingle with the most famous people imaginable. His M.O.s were flexible, sometimes involving wearing a tux under a maintenance uniform, carrying tons of lanyards of different colors to match the ones at the event, or even just pacing outside with a glass of Champagne and getting ordered inside by a guard because he wasn't supposed to drink it outside. Never arrested. Now, he's written a book spilling the beans, and other crashers are not pleased that he's exposing their methods. But would you go to those extremes to get into a cool party to which you weren't invited? FUN FACT: Maher found the high-end parties "incredibly boring." YOU'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING.
