read part I here
so i couldn't get this one off my mind....
it's rare that i'm really excited by someone...no.. more rare that i respect someone artistically and socially.
so i decided to reach out- something i've NEVER done before.
i don't chase.
i knew i couldn't ask my TriBeCA friends for his email- obviously, that'd be a hugely unprofessional breach in confidentially for them and i was honestly so embarrassed that i was even thinking of emailing him that i couldn't tell them.
so i got it another way.... don't worry about those details ;).
and wrote a quick little quippy note that basically followed up on about a few things we had talked about, congratulated him on the success of the film & casually threw out that if he was ever in nyc, i'd be down for a drink or to see a show.... easy, breezy, beautiful.
terrifying.
what if he was furious that i wrote on his personal email?!
come on! who wouldn't find that flattering....
wait! what if he thinks i'm a super fan.
i've never been so bold.
i generally have a policy that if the man doesn't have the chutzpah to come after me, he's not going to go after life.... and that's a turn off.
so i sent it.
and waited....
a week later, my heart throbbed and my stomach dropped when i saw that he'd responded.
it was a short email.
kindly thanked me for my email and said he didn't plan to be in nyc in the near future....
then signed off.
which was a relative blow off ...but not humiliating.
but wait!
there was an addendum:
p.s. be sure to like (the film's) facebook page and check it for updates!
vomit.
vomit.
vomit.
he just relegated me to the league of superfans.
i'll never get over it.
i'm going into hiding.

Oh my gosh, you are so cute! I love the dramatic, I'll never get over it! So funny. He's missing out, love that you had the guts to share that story with us. Love your blog.
Just a little mormon housewife in Utah.
"I'll never get over it" - Ohh I hate that B. Jones-y feeling. OTOH, his little "P.S." reveals that he has all the depth of a potato chip, so maybe it's a bullet dodged.
Silly man.
Wait! Wait! Maybe just a courtesy email? Did he know it was you?!?? Did you reference any of your convo in your email?
I'm with you. I never chase. And those rare times that I do always backfire like your story. It's the worst feeling because you feel soooo brave putting it out there.
I've been waiting for the end of the story. That is seriously funny, only because I have had so many similar embarrassing situations. Bridget would have been proud.
What a lame-o!?! He must be gay! Thank you for sharing this and all your awesome stories! I just adore you.
I love that when I'm having a completely crappy day I can log on here for some much needed laughs. Thank you thank you thank you!
whaaaat? jerk. maybe it was an office aid replying to his emails for him?
"i generally have a policy that if the man doesn't have the chutzpah to come after me, he's not going to go after life.... and that's a turn off."
I agree with you a hundred percent.
This may be one of my favorite stories ever!
Thanks for sharing!
Hahahahaha "I'm going into hiding." That was the best. And his Facebook "like" thing? Gross! What an idiot. Loved this story. So hilarious.
