a friend of mine just moved to Baltimore and met John while walking down the street. He just smiled, said "Hi, John" and John reciprocated in kind.
I have Trash Trio...can't wait for the new collection of screenplays. | |

I have Trash Trio...can't wait for the new collection of screenplays. i've met him a few times at book signings - he's very cordial and funny, always "on", but in a very charming way. one time i asked him to autograph a magazine article he'd written and he looked at it quizzically and said, "Did I write this? I think I was on drugs. Was it good?" | |

From the foreword of Bill Maher's New Rules:
The urge to rebel in youth often predates having a reason to do so. But then one day you take a lawn dart in the kidney and suddenly following the rules — at least the rules about lawn darts — doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
I never did take a lawn dart in the kidney — that’s just an example — but I did wake up one morning after a sleepover at John Waters’s house to find my sleeping bag wasn’t zipped up the same way as when I passed out. We all learn. It’s just a matter of how and when. Did you ever see Waters' review of Richard Kern's Fingered?: Fingered is the ultimate date move for psychos. It's the best hillbilly-punk-art-porno movie in the world and I always show it to people very late at night to make them happy.
Recently, my mother called to tell me that she had seen Cry-baby on TV and loved it. I'm starting to worry about her. | |

He just started hosting a film series on the HERE channel (does anyone get that station?) where he says "it's like having me over to watch movies, only I don't get to touch you." | |

If you get the chance to meet him, jump at it! He was here in the Twin Cities at the U of MN Student Union several years ago promoting his book. I was on the planning committee for the evening, but by the night of the show I was SO sick with the flu I couldn't go! I did, however, stop in for a bit afterwards when the group took him out for drinks at Nye's Polonaise (a piano bar and polka lounge in Minneapolis). He shared some really great stories, most of which I missed since I only stayed a while. The best was a recollection of one of the many times he and Divine sat around getting high in their younger years. On this particular occasion, Divine suddenly left the room, returned a few moments with a bed sheet wrapped around her as a makeshift dress and proceeded to lip synch an entire Dionne Warwick record!

I met him many many years ago at a lecture at San Jose State University. I swear, the entire lecture was like a stand up comedy act. His stories, amazing. He signed my Trash Trio and he signed my ex's copy of FEMALE TROUBLES vhs original.
Thanks Anx. I want to see him in San Francisco. M MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

I met John Waters last month. He was standing on line behind me at the Landmark theater on Houston St. (He bought one ticket for 'Keane'.) I told him how much I enjoyed 'A Dirty Shame' and how I laughed from start to finish. He was very nice and reminded me that 'A Dirty Shame' is out now on DVD. | |
