This weekend I went to a barbecue and David Wain was there. He directed & wrote Wet Hot American Summer and The Ten. It is the first time I’ve seen someone I knew from the movies at a party in L.A. I was introduced to him and I said, “I know your movies, actually. I’m a big fan of Wet, Hot, American Summer.” And he said, “oh, cool,” in that kind of “get this stalker away from me” voice. I thought I played it pretty cool, but maybe people who make movies are used to being harassed by geeks. Or maybe I shouldn’t have tried to kiss him … whatever, I thought he’d find it flattering.

The only other interaction I had with him was when I was talking to another guy who asked me to name an 8 letter word with only one vowel. David Wain was at the condiment table. “Strength,” David Wain said, almost immediately. In a Jeffreydinsmore.com exclusive, you heard it here first: red hot director David Wain is a trivia buff! Eat it, Perez!
