I can’t believe I always miss these things!!! Looking forward to the transcript… : D
Rainn was awesome! Sorry you had to moderate so many of my crappy questions tanster! I’ll try to be more conservative next time :)
I was so excited to be there for it. Rainn’s AWESOME! Thanks Rainn and Tanster! (and yes, some of the text should be put into the quote randomizer)
Missed another one!! NO!!
and with Rainn Wilson nonetheless.
I am thoroughly disappointed in myself for not refreshing officetally this evening…
lesson learned.
The one night I don’t check my Twitter obsessively *shakes head in disappointment* I can’t believed I missed another chat. Oh well, can’t wait to read the transcript- I heard it was awesome :). By the way, I had fun chatting with you all after Rainn had left haha.
No! No! NNNOOOOOO!!!!!! I can’t believe I missed that!!!
I can’t wait until the transcript gets posted. I have a feeling that I would need that after today.
I always miss these chats. So sad.
Looking forward to the transcript though.
I logged in and hung back quietly to read the questions and Rainn’s answers. That was fun! Great questions from the OT fans and Rainn was a hoot. Thanks for doing this, Tanster! And Rainn…you rocked the house.
Dangg. I totally missed it! I usually check this site like 20 times a day and the one night I’m gone and don’t have internet access Rainn is in the chat. ohh wells. Can’t wait for the transcript tanster! :)
How ’bout putting this up a few days before he actually visits so that we can actually ask him questions.
[from tanster: sorry about that! i’m not able to pre-announce chats.]
Rainn is hysterical. Thanks for the transcript!
Who is sockington and why does rainn want to eat his face
“In bed with birkenstocks” lol!
What does FTW mean?
That was awesome. I love these chats!
#13, Cara – read Rainn’s Twitter updates and you’ll find out all about it. ;) (they’re also on nbc.com if you’re not on Twitter)
[from tanster: you can follow Rainn’s Twitter feed here — he has half a million followers!]
ahhhh, I made the transcript…yay!! This was the first time I was present for a chat with one of the cast and it was so cool. Thanks again Tanster, you also rock!
#16, pamelajnewell – FTW means “For The Win”.
This chat was hilarious. Rainn is a genuinely funny person and I appreciate that. I hope he does go to Broadway some day… I think that could suit him well.
Thanks to Rainn and Tanster for a great chat last night. Loved it! Rainn was as hilarious as always, and I was so happy to see that I got a couple of questions answered.
Radiohead is my favorite band of all time. Rainn just confirmed my eternal love for him. Goodness.
Fun reading, thanks for the transcript Tanster!
>What does FTW mean?
FTW means “for the win”
nice interview btw
Wow, thank you so much for letting a few of my comments go through, it is the strangest feeling to know you have ‘chatted’ with Rainn Wilson.
#11 Steve – the chat room was swamped! There is no way these things can be announced in advance – the internet would probably collapse :)
