They are famously dicks. They admit it. That goes for most of the State. I dont want to be their friends, i just love what they do. I've seen show around brooklyn and he does look like a walking 'do not disturb' sign.
so what, they're artists. Would you rather meet david Spade and have him rub your tummy? -

Same thing. Today saw him near NYU and asked him for a cigarette and gave me that "beep off, kid" kinda look and barely whispered "no." Then saw him again while waiting in line for a show around 3pm today and I said "hey, michael" and he just gave a smile and a nod. Probably likes to keep to himself but wish he would at least acknowledge the difference between a groupie and a respectable fan.

fortunately, my encounter w/ mr showalter was quite different
i had a minor ' crush ' on him from years & then a buddy of mine from college [ we graduated 13 + years ago ] briefly dated him; howev1908er, i had never met him
[ as i recall : ] sometime earlier this year in brooklyn while running some errands downtown [ nevins / jay street area ] i happened to espy mr showalter while he was already engaged in a conversation w/ a pleasant-looking young woman : i excused myself, introduced myself as ' [ xxx ] ', asked if was indeed michael showalter [ which he in turn confirmed warily ], stated that is a was pleasure to meet him [ while extending a hand to shake which he did ], asked for his pardon for the brief interruption to state that i was both a fan [ ! ] & a buddy of ' [ my friend from college ] '
mr showalter was polite, smiling & asked that i forward his regards to [ my buddy ]
perhaps it was the approach as some ivy grads [ my buddy & i are, too ] are occasionally notorious sticklers for the sometimes arcane etiquette protocols for introduction, etc
