You're all sure enthusiastic, and that's great!
Regarding a fan club ... Greg's official web site doubles as his "official fan club" also. We're one of the most fan friendly celeb web sites around, in my opinion, and there are places there for fans to participate. Greg is great at interacting with his fans, whether it's at the stage door, via his web cam, or responding to emails ... he mails out signed photos to any fan who sends him an SASE to the address listed on the site (currently the Imperial stage door) ... the web site beats any snail mail newsletter for news and info.
Ruthie, you're obviously a fan from way back who remembers a message board being on Greg's site. Most people seem to prefer either emailing the site or posting in the guest book, so we dropped our message board eventually. Nowadays, with Greg being back on Broadway, fans started gathering here on this board and since this thread was created, most have been posting here. So I don't see much use at this time for reviving a board on Greg's official site.
"Official" has advantages and disadvantages ... you all do a great job being supportive of Greg and his work, and I think you should keep that up and not concern yourselves with any official title. You can keep doing what you've been doing without that. If you all want to make shirts or whatever, I don't guess there's anything to stop you as long as you're not using any trademarked or copyrighted materials to do so. To support the "official fan club," all you have to do is support and promote Greg and his web site. If you've sent us a photo of you and Greg at the stage door (or backstage), or you've posted a msg. in the guest book, or you've contributed fan art, or you've sent Greg a fan letter via snail mail or email AND have shown (or at least not disproven) that you're a true fan who both admires and respects Greg (unlike one particular infamous person), then far as I'm concerned, you're a member of his fan club. :)

Oh, and tmyres (Talia), it bothered me that you posted your snail mailing address ... sorry, but that is NEVER a good idea on a public message board. You really should take that out of your post if you haven't already. JMO. I just care about your safety as well as your privacy. [edited: a mod must have gotten wind; the post appears to be gone ... Thanks to Talia for understanding where I was coming from here.]
