So, who haven't we met?

Sleepy and Dread - be afraid. Be very afraid.

First, they will try to set up a meet in some secluded location. Arrive before the appointed time to take them by surprise so that their plans are a bit foiled. Sit near an exit, and certainly not with MBC near any door that lead backstage.

The crazy cat lady....the one thing about her is it's easy to get her monologuing (think The Incredibles). She likes to do that. So during those lenghty speeches, you can get away.

Do not eat a corndog prior to your arrival. Trust me, it isn't safe to smell like a corndog near MBC specifically.

Have a friend call you 5 minutes after you are supposed to arrive at the meet. This way, if they are all too scary (a genuine possibility), you can claim there is an emergency and leave.

These tips and tricks served me well, as I am still alive to tell you about them.
