I'm home!
yay, did you have fun?!
My roommate slept for an hour. She kept turning off her alarm after planning to sleep for 15 minutes. Now she gets up, cursing herself for only having five minutes until class.
It's her fault!
Yup, Arizona was fun. It's really pretty, and the weather was really nice.
Delayed flight + no sleep +jet lag= me not getting up for class this morning.
CS congrats on finishing.
I'm happy that you had a good time in Arizona!
Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.
I can't sleep because I'm sick, so I either feel too hot or too cold. Therefore I'm not going to class either.

Yes.
Yay! *waits impatiently*
I have a sore throat. I'm not sure why, but it doesn't seem to hurt enough to be a serious illness, just enough to be annoying.
aaaaw, Anthonyyyyy.
Feel better, skittles
Anthony!
Does anyone who bought their copy of hout You" from Strand still have the papers that were in it? I can't find my list of the signing dates. I know there's one sometime in March in NYC, but I can't remember when.
There's one at a school the week of the 13th, and then the one at the LGBT Center is the 21st.
Thank you! The one at the school was during the day, so I can't go to that one. What time is the one at the LGBT center?
March 21 at 7 PM at the LGBT Center in New York, NY
I kind of want to go to it.
Which might be silly.

Ok, thoughts on last night (I'm running on little sleep, and have been driving all morning...apologies if I ramble/don't make sense...haha):
Attendance was probably about 350 (I know for sure 325...)...far beyond the B&N's expectations of near 100-150.
He read out of "We Begin" with singing at the opera showcase, his birthday, and the Peasants feast (and meeting Adam). And talked about how long it took to write the book, how proud he is of it, the responses he's been hearing so far, etc etc. Sang a verse of La Vie Boheme...
Q&A-In the words of my mom, "Watch the documentary before you ask a question!" Lots of silly questions, which I guess was to be expected to some extent. Some girl asked something along the lines of, when did it hit you that you were actually doing the movie...and his response? "Haven't you read the book yet?" Muahahaha...Someone asked about his education to which he responded he did film school but dropped out...pause..."I'm not proud that I dropped out...stay in school!" Nice little PSA for the kids Best question was how do you feel about big name celebrities on Broadway (It's a double edged sword-it introduces people to theatre that might not otherwise come, which is good; but usually there are far more talented people that could be in them...his example was Julia Robert's play thats about to open).
It was a little hectic with the signing, of course. Someone tried to start a singalong...and thankfully were stopped (really, offkey singing of Tango Maureen is just not cool). Some people brought every piece of Rent memorabilia they had...including some girl who brought a promo cardboard cutout thing (woah). In front of me was a little boy and his mom (she was the fan), but regardless took a picture of the little boy with Anthony. He was so nice and trying to talk to him and the boy just stood there the whole time, serious look on his face. It was sweet (and slightly amusing). When it was finally my turn, did the picture thing, had him sign my book and Look Around book, said something that probably made no sense about how much I loved his work, and how much I appreciated how honest the book was...I was about halfway through the line, and left about 9:30. So he was going to be there a loooong time.
Anyways, good night, good times. I heart Anthony. I'm sure I'll think of more later...
Em, I'm bummed about not getting to go to the one in DC, so it's not too silly. Then again, I'm probably not the best judge of what's normal vs. silly.
Sounds fun, Amber, glad you had a good time and it wasn't TOO chaotic.
Thanks, skittles.
He read that chapter in NYC, too. He said "Adam Pascal" and everyone went nuts. I just sort of curled up.
I'm tempted to go to another one too. Thanks for the review, Amber!
I think if I went to that one I would skip the waiting in line part. My mom asked me why I didn't just ask him to sign my book at the concert, which honestly, just never crossed my mind.
