Plus he's got black hair and it's hot.
I wanna watch one of my Chatterboxes now. Hmm.
It's a lot better than the typical talk show interview, and funny too.
I just finished watching and it was definitely candid and relaxed. There were certain things like the pot smoking or crotch grabbing comments or when talking about dancing that I kinda rolled my eyes and thought "Ohh Adam!", but it was a nice little study break.
I haven't really seen much other than pictures of him with the black hair. I wouldn't have thought that I'd like it, but it's oddly...sexy?
I'm lucky that I don't have any food allergies. I'm just allergic to everything else in the world. I've developed a random allergy to band-aid adhesives, but only on half of my skin. And I've had to make sure that my field placement is fragrance free, because I have a lot of problems with that too.
I'm also lucky with no allergies. That must've been scary, Em.
Adam is pretty funny in that chatterbox interview, but my favorite parts are always when Seth goes, "Okay, I'm uncomfortable now."
I love Seth.
It was scary, but I'm okay now. :)
I'm glad you're feeling better Emcee!
I'm crossing my fingers that for Christmas I might be recieving one of the Chatterbox's with Adam, perhaps from the 'rents or Santa
I had a dream last night that I met Adam, he was wearing the "Dirty Sanchez" shirt and I was very disappointed when I woke up and realized that I never really met him.
What exactly is a Chatterbox and where are they found? I'm guessing its an interview...
They're interviews. Seth Rudetsky, who did the musical direction for the Actors' Fund benefits of Hair and Chess, amongst other things, conducts them and they're all videotaped. You can buy them on VHS or DVD, and the sales benefit BC/EFA. :)

They are well worth the cost, and when you go to the website you see more and more that you want. Very good cause, also.
Just got back from the funeral... It was all so incredibly sad, but beautifully done. The hardest part was when the parents read the letters they'd written for their son. I'm amazed that they can go through something as terrible as losing their child and still comfort everyone else at the end of the service. Strange how funeral-goers look to the bereaved for comfort.

Those parents sound like great people. It's such a shame they had to lose their son.
I watched the Chatterbox interviews shortly after becoming a fan, and they're a terrific way to get to know Adam. In the Aida one he's sort of sweet and goofy, and in the Cabaret one he's funnier and tougher. There's a certain amount of shared information, as Seth asked him a lot of the same questions in both, but the way he comes off is quite different. He's always seemed rather chameleonish to me, and you really see it in these interviews.
Wasn't he just getting over pneumonia or something when they did the first one? That probably accounts for part of the difference in demeanor. :)
That's true, it probably softened him a little. I also think he was on a big high from going into Cabaret a few weeks before the second interview, and that contributed greatly to all the energy in that one.

I'm totally giggling at the thought of Adam laughing at some of the overly analytical posts here.
(It's okay, I'm probably one of the most overanalytical people ever.)
Aren't we all... We make something out of every single nothing of no significance.
Adam seemed a bit more articulate in the second interview, and his analysis of his career was a bit more profound (potand onstage antics notwithstanding, of course). He was definitely very buzzed about Cabaret. I think it's funny how he spent time imitating the broken lift from Aida both times.
Yeah, we really are at odds with Adam's own live-in-the-moment mode. But that's what we like about him, right?

I just kind of realized that my last post could be considered semi-offensive. Forgive me? (But it's not offensive if it's true, right? )
Anyway, not to bore everyone with the boring details of my life, but I'm attempting to write a paper on The Merchant of Venice and just cannot muster the motiviation to actually write it. I know what I want to say in it, but I'm at the point in the semester where I am literally too lazy to page through the book to find citiations. I'm frustrated, PMS-y (uh, sorry Adam, if you're reading), tired, bitchy, and just want to go home.
I'm writing a paper, too. It feels like it's neverending, bleh.
Anything ever happen with that movie shoot this weekend?
I should be writing a paper.

Not to my knowledge. The chances are looking slimmer and slimmer that I'll even be able to go considering I leave for home quite soon, but I can't really complain given my earlier luck.
Ugh, this PAPER. The professor drops the lowest grade on the five papers we have to write for this class, so I don't even know why I'm bothering to make this paper decent.
I've already written an insane amount this weekend and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty far away. Guess I'd better get used to it if this is to be my profession.

I'm hoping to be a journalist as well, but my excuse is that I really do enjoy writing if it's about things I enjoy. I'm hoping to work in a field that allows for a lot of interviews, too, rather than just being bogged down in paperwork all day.
I love Kraft's Easy Cheese.
"I'm frustrated, PMS-y (uh, sorry Adam, if you're reading), tired, bitchy, and just want to go home."
I couldn't agree more. Between making outlines, studying, and writing papers, I've barely slept for the past three days. I just keep telling myself that I get to go home for 5 weeks on Thursday.
