it would've been funny...haha i know it's mean but if i saw a fan-girl acting like that and she fell..i would have laughed my ass off
There was quite a collection of obnoxious fangirls at the Virgin signing. But that day kind of also showed me how great and open and welcoming some RENT fans are. I met some really nice people that day, and met my first BWW person - totally by chance.
How are we going to know who is at the signing if we don't know what each other looks like?
There are a lot of nice RENT fans, and then there are some crazy posessive ones. They scare me.
Sometimes I wonder if we're judging others too harshly, like maybe others think we're just as bad as they are. But then I encounter another obnoxious one and I realize that who am I kidding, I'm not *that* bad.
People are just very free spirited. I would never squeal, or jump, heck, I barely can talk at stagedoors or at signings. I kind of just smile and nod my head.
I tend to think I only judge when I have something substantial to judge them on. Yes, there are normal fans, and then there are the psychotic ones. Yes, we do generalize most of the time, but then I hear about people following people to their doors and I feel I can at least judge them here in our little bubble.
The CD signing was a lot tamer than I expected, actually. Maybe 'cause there was security.
It was fun.
Well, you were more towards the back. You didn't have the pleasure of seeing the folks up in the front
Good thing!! I did, however, see the girl dressed up as Mimi.
I would never be one of those crazy fan-girls. I just wait my turn and smile and maybe blurt out a sentance or two, I usually can't talk when i meet someone at the stage door.
I think it is just rude to scream and yell in the person's face..ugghh
I'd like to believe I wouldn't freak out around Anthony. When I'm around RENT people, I'm just really really quiet. For example, I met Barrett and Steph outside of Q, and I was fine. I actually hed a semi-conversation with Barrett. The same day, when I met Norbie and Sherie at DRS...I couldn't say anything. I'm such a loser.
yea Mandi i'm the same way
The only signing I've been to was to get a baseball signed by some of the Pittsburgh Pirates back in 2003. I also have a CD signed by the band in my signature, heh.
I'm really quiet around most people. The Avenue Q cast made me feel really comfortable, and I talked to them for a while. Anthony never intimidated me. I have no idea why that is, considering WHO he is.
I wish I could say things. But, alas, it's like my mouth is wired shut.
I think if I ever met Anthony I'd just melt into a little puddle.
Poor Adam, having someone hurl herself at him. No wonder he tends to avoid the stage door sometimes.
To change the subject slightly, I see that Daphne Rubin-Vega's upcoming project, Bernarda Alba, has already sold out its limited run at Lincoln Center. I hope it does well for her. And just to keep things on topic, maybe Adam will come to the premiere.
Do you think if i bring my Rent book to the signing, that Anthony will sign it?
If they're letting him sign things other than the book, than yes. If you call beforehand and ask what their policy is - I would say to bring it anyway. I learned my lesson the hard way. I thought at the Virgin signing that they would only be signing the CDs and posters if you had one, so I didn't bring my Rent bible with me. Turns out they were signing whatever you brought. So the lesson is: bring the book.
I wanted to see Bernard Alba
Rent and Rent-related people = me babbling incoherantly.
Everyone else I can have a pleasant conversation with.
They'll probably extend, if it's sold out ALREADY. I really want to see it.
He sure will, IHC. I think, anyway. Bring it and see, or you'll regret it!
That girl at The Today Show made me want to be even more well-behaved and blatantly repsectful toward him, in a way.

I've been kind of quiet for the last hour. It was like World War Freaking 3 at our house for a bit, although that's nothing new. My dad wanted me to watch an episode of ER on the DVR that he recorded for me last week, so that he could delete it, and I didn't feel like it and spent too much time on here. Then he came in and yelled at me about how I spend way too much time on the computer and that he is going to make my mom put time limits back on the computer. Although he doesn't know that would do absolutely no good because time limits only for AOL and I never use that anymore. My brother was also supposed to come over at 4:00 to help my dad load garbage bags from the party last night into his truck and take them to the dumpster, and he didn't show up until 6:00. So my dad was mad at my brother, and mad at me. And my dad and I yelled at each other. And then my mom woke up and heard the yelling and she and my dad yelled at each other some more before my mom started yelling at me and my dad started yelling at me again.
I told you my family is crazy. Although our extended family is much more annoying.
Anyway, thankfully they are all out of the house right now. Everyone calmed down and my mom went to the hospital to visit my grandfather and my dad and brother [who finally arrived] went to take the garbage bags to the dumpster.
We never stay mad at each other really in our family. My dad will yell at me and then ten minutes later he'll act like everything is fine. It's kind of annoying really, because he'll talk to me like nothing happened and I'm like "Uh hello I'm still mad at you, you aren't supposed to be nice to me."
Whenever I meet someone famous, I just babble, smile, and nod. I can't really do anything else.
My family is like that, Katt. Sometimes one of my parents wants to be very quick to fix things, but more often than not one person in the fight wants to perpetuate it to prove that s/he was right. It's like... the longer you stay mad the more you remind them of what they did.
Someone should take MY RENT Bible and make him sign it.
