Maybe all the nude pics of him you have on the site were a bad idea, Liir. Sorry I encouraged that one.
I needed something to bring in the female audience! Maybe I should not have put that camera in his dressing room after all ><
Anyword from Norbert, I'm figuring no since you haven't mentioned it, but I can still hope, right.
Indeed, Thes!
Have you been back in the city lately?
No word yet (havent gotten my mail yet) but I am starting to upload the site. I will let you know how it is going.
Oh and welcome back thespian geek. Who is that in your avatar now? He looks like Shane West from ER.

Thes, where have you been all this time!?
Ryan, does this mean the general public (by that I mean the people who didn't get to see the website folder) gets to see the site now?
I was actually in the city for a few days last month (I was in Boston for something and decided to drop in randomly) to catch Slut and Altar Boyz.
My avatar = Kevin Kern
I felt bad retiring the Norbert headshot, because that had been avatar for a year, but Kevin... oh man, do I adore him. Haha. He's right up there with Norbert for "favorite Broadway actors ever" now.
And I've been... uh... around. Altar Boyz and its actors has been consuming my life. SORRY!

Well, have you heard the good news, Thes? Norbert's getting an official site!
(SirLiir is the webmaster, and I am one of the co-webmasters, by the way)
Yepyep. Heard about it awhile ago, when you posted on the NLB community at LiveJournal?

Ooooooooh. That. LOL...
As for now, Gav, the site will up be up but password protected. However, you and the cowebmasters will have access to check it out and make changes (as well as anyone else who REALLY wants to see it). Uploading is so far a pain but its going okay. As soon as Norbert gets back to me, it will unlocked for all.
I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to see it.

Don't worry, past the rigorous test, and you'll see it.
If you would've been here earlier, you could have become a co-webmaster. Alas, there are three of us (and I was the first one to ask to become one), and we can't have any more than that.

i honestly can not wait for him to okay this so we all get to see it! i'm very proud of yall for following through with the site too!

Be proud of Ryan for now--us co-webmasters haven't done anything but look at the website folder.

hey that counts.. it took finger effort because i'm sure there was clicking involved!
Thanks Gav. Its been a ton of work truthfully. Researching and finding pictures for every thing Norbert has done on Broadway, Off Broadway, and on tour has been quite difficult to say the least. Consolidating quotes, interviews, and writing reviews has been time consuming as well. I still am not finished too. For example, I still have not found any photo for Thou Shalt Not with Norbert (Even Rent had many Norbert pics) in them so if anyone has some, I would greatly appreciate them. However, it has been a lot of fun. Though Gav, there are actually four co-webmasters. My girlfriend is number 4 but she provides more rah rah support than coding at the moment (^^) And I am only laying the groundwork. I am hoping the cowebmasters and I can organize different events. I am thinking of trivial contests, maybe a chat (if he is ever free), interviews, and maybe hearing some special, exlcusive quotes. I am hopeful its going to be great.
Edit: I cant believe I forgot there was no mail today lol. Oh well. I talked to Norbert after the show last week and I told him the site was 90% to which he said, "Alright!". So, hopefully, he is ready to send me the official okay any day now. I really do not want to post anything without his premission.

Well, ya know, Norb gets extremely tired sometimes! I bet, for the most part, that he usually signs everything and heads home for a nap or something.
Why not talk to him tomorrow or Sunday?
"I am hoping the cowebmasters and I can organize different events. I am thinking of trivial contests, maybe a chat (if he is ever free), interviews, and maybe hearing some special, exlcusive quotes"
I have an idea!
We can do a few trivial contests, but maybe there can be a super one where the questions are harder and complicated...and then whoever is the winner wins a free ticket to the show.
Just an idea to consider.
Well I am seeing him next week for sure so if he doesnt reply by then, well, Miss WRQ and I will poke him to death.

Heeeeeee. Poking is fun!
I know there was a pic of Norbert in Thou Shalt Not in the Playbill with the "Norbert Leo Butz quiz" I don't know if you can use it, but it is around, I think it may be at Curtain call though, he has flowers and a wifebeater.
Also there is one on Theatremania.com of him with Debra Monk, that one is definately in the show.
The article is three years old, but really interesting.
The Buzz on Butz
Yeah...but the pic is copyrighted and I cannot save it. Thanks anyway smart
I figured they were both copyrighted, but maybe you could use your status as "official Norbert webmaster" to gain permission.
ETA: I'm also afraid it is unlikely anyone has a "legal" pic of him "in" the show.
