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 -

Ahh, yes. That's what the OP was missing. And just think! Had they only gone to an Ivy League school and known someone that Showalter used to sleep withwell, then they just might have understood how to talk to him!
