I saw Cybele's blog last night but didn't have the heart to post about it then. I hope you get the chance to see Adam tonight Emcee, and wish him luck.

skittles' post is lost in limbo.

I can definitely see why you're worried, but hopefully it'll turn out fine. Random, but: I love your signature, skittles....very fitting to the occasion.

Reposted because I'm an attention whore:

You can make cooking shows in NYC just like you can be an actor in NYC.

*pretends not to be bitter*

I'm addicted to Food Network too, bu I hate food. Well, I don't hate food, I just hate having to cook. I'm such a picky eater though, so I probably wouldn't touch 90% of the stuff they make. So usually when I'm home, it's my brother and I watching Iron Chef (original, not US because it's bad) and eating Easy Mac. Fun stuff.

WRQ, I'm mostly worried about stuff like the fans. Like, I'm worried there will be too many really immature fangirls that will scream and act ridiculous (ala Idina's last show, Adam's concerts, Anthony's signings, etc. etc.) and since it's all of them there together, it will be magnified. I also don't want people make this event out to be like one big stagedoor and their only purpose in going to the show is not celebrating the tenth anniversary of Rent, but like, focusing just on getting autographs and pictures with cast members. It's supposed to be a concert and charity benefit for an anniversary, not a meet and greet, but I guess that's asking too much of this fanbase.

Ash, I was reading over my post before and noticed my sig line was really appropriate for my first post- especially the control freak part. I know I have to accept I have no control over what happens with all this (other than my own behavior) but there's so much stuff that's going on in my life right now that I have no control over, so it's all manifesting itself through this.

Your signature is going to be my mantra for today.

I'm leaving now to run some errands, and then I'm going you know where. I'll talk to all of you later.

I thought about that skittles...but the 5th anniversary wasn't THAT bad was it? I know there was screaming and such, but I don't remember hearing about it being out of control/obnoxiously so...

Chloe, what prompted you to look?

I have no idea what to say to him. If it weren't you know, tomorrow, I would write him a letter, but I don't have time for that. Whatever happens, I'm not going to cry. But in all of these years, I've never told him how wonderful I think he is, and that HAS to happen tonight.

I check her blog and about ten other sites regularly for news. That's how I manage to bring little tidbits here once in a while.

Yes, do say whatever you feel has been seriously left unsaid. Also, I bet a lot of people will be crying for one reason or another. There's nothing wrong with it, though of course you want to keep your composure.

I'm sitting here trying to think of things that I haven't yet done or said or... whatever. I mean, I know he's not a friend of anything, but things that have been happening lately with real friends have made *even* this over "just an actor" a big deal, and I don't want to have any regrets.

Bleary eyes, maybe, and I'll probably cry during the show, but I don't want to be like... hysterically clinging to his leg.

(And one last photo, no?)

I need to try to eat.

Definitely try to eat. I'm sure you'll come up with the right thing to say.

I feel unreasonably depressed over this whole thing myself. I guess it would feel a little better if he had one or two projects lined up.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:24pm

I just don't get why he's just... up and going. If I can, I'll ask what his plan is.

*sniffles*

[Chloe]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:27pm

That would be good. I can't help but feel he must have gotten a lot of encouragement to make the move from somewhere. Or maybe he's just being very bold.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:29pm

Well, he is bold. :)

I don't want to go into this with any expectations of what I'm going to get with him, but I'll try to ask either Adam or someone who might know what he's up to. I guess my priority is saying goodbye and thanking him for everything.

Boldness is his middle name. (And why is everyone so interested in his middle name?) I suppose it'll be pretty crazy, but I'm sure if he sees you you'll have a chance to talk. Did you actually get a ticket, or are you doing the lottery?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:35pm

hee, I'm curious about his middle name. I don't know why. IF they sign autographs and the like after, it'll be hard to get to him, but he's been so kind lately that if I can find him, I'm not concerned about not at least getting to say hi.

This reminds me a little of the opening of the movie, but a little sadder. It's an end of an era kind of feeling, a ten-year RENT full circle. The movie came out ten years after the NYTW was getting the original production together, and now the tenth anniversary concert is the last thing Adam's doing before he starts quite a new life.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:50pm

I feel weird. It's an event that's totally new and huge for me, but at the same time, it's the end of an era within an era; this is the last time they'll perform this stuff together, most likely, and it's the end of that, but it's also a smaller end, with regards to Adam.

Adam, don't go.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:50pm

I still have the feeling that he's just going to drift into the background in LA. It makes me sad, even though I don't feel I have the right to be considering most of you have been fans for much longer.

At this point, I'd really love to see him get a great part in a film or even a role on a weekly TV show, but how many actors have successfully transitioned from stage to screen at his age?

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:50pm

It's weird. I think the fans are just going to be so ecstatic and hopefully won't distract from the performances. Yes, it's a celebration of Jonathan and 10 years of his work, but it's also really really bittersweet.

[Chloe]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:53pm

Bittersweet is a good description.

I don't know, Lexi, but Adam has never followed the rules.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 12:55pm

I just think it's going to be a really overwhelming, emotional experience for everyone who is involved (both actors and fans). I just keep thinking back to some interview (I think?) where Anthony said he's only been on the Nederlander stage once since he left the show, and he almost fainted it was so overwhelming. Now, times that by 15, and add a screaming house of 1,500.

Anthony said he's only been on the Nederlander stage once since he left the show

Was that at the 5-year reunion concert, Fantab?

I'm excited to read everyone's reports.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 1:00pm

I really can't even begin to fathom the power of it, emotionally. I remember the first time I saw Adam sing Glory; first time I heard an OBC member sing a song from Rent live. I didn't think it would *really* impact me, but I cried. I remember seeing Anthony sing What You Own in the middle of the East Village, and the wave of emotions I felt that night. I can't imagine how this is going to be.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 4/24/06 at 1:00pm

No, the 5-year reunion show took place at Studio 54.

Posted: 4/24/06 at 1:04pm

Oh, right, Fantab. :)

Em, did you ultimately decide to buy a ticket?
