Spent an evening with Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero in the

lobby of the Music Box once. We went to a screening of THE ROOM and we were totally unprepared for the raucousness of the crowd. We took frequent breaks walking around the lobby and at one point we were just out there with Sestero and Wiseau.

Sestero seemed like a totally good and normal dude (I kind of recall talking about Indiana Hoosier basketball with him but may be misremembering, this was at least 15 years ago). He was in the ennui-laden space of being sick of being the butt of the ironic enjoyment of the film but not so sick that he was ready to get off the gravy train (such as it was)

Wiseau was just totally bizarre. Not at all engaging, kept his sunglasses on and responded to stimuli in the oddest ways. He sort of gave the impression of being addled but really moreso it was like some benign version of the T-600
