John Waters

 If you're paying to see John Waters speak, go ahead and spring for the meet-and-greet.
Dec., 2012.

He was kind of pissed the venue had these promotional cards in the lobby. For the meet and greet, he had a couple boxes of his latest book to sell and sign, but everybody just grabbed these cards and had him sign them.  I don't think he blamed anybody for doing that, but he was a little annoyed. He was like, "Where did you get these?"
