LOL - Wanna trade? I spent the day going back and forth between two doctor's offices. I have another doctor to see tomorrow and I have to go back in the hospital Friday for more tests. STILL MORE are coming next week! (PRAY that this doesn't kill my trip to NY! The gloomy storm clouds seem to be gathering...)

OMG...AMAZING NIGHT...ONE OF THE BEST EVER...WOW

(Thank goodness for the Internet so I can share the info and stories such, vocally communicating this would not work...I am currently sitting in front of the computer w/ the damnest biggest grin on my face if that face works, and even when I try to talk i can't take the grin off and sounds come out and for the most part my face is frozen...okay...hmm, may cut this in half...let's see

First off, here's my general overview review on the main board:

https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?page=2&thread=873622&startthread=1545049

Other reviews there too. Okay, lemme try to expand on who you all would especially care about:

Norbert. I mean, I said most of what had to be said, he was really great, especially on the first song. Nice harmony, slightly odd that he did lower notes on both, since he's the higher one on DRS. It was nice to see him an environment where his main focus was singing, didn't hafta worry about rolling over the floor, he really has a great voice, hit some great notes. Like I said, def was having fun in the second one, randomly making little jumps around the stage, and the Dirty Rotten Number finish. Ran out after though, didn't see him

Sherie...amazing as usual. Her rant...still hard to explain...she talked about how she's conflicted being here at Elvis Costello concert and missing the Halloween parade, b/c she loves the gay community...then went on to say how the name of gay community has involved from gay to lesbian and gay to lesbian and gay and transgenders and bisexuals(who make the perfect couple, she pointed out) and made an acronym for this but then said we hafta include questioning, and we all hafta admit we're questioning, or Q as it was in the acronym...so she had each orchestra member shout they're Q and then told us to. She ended it by saying in honor of her Q, she's always wanted to wear this "costume" and put on the mustache. So cute. And of course, she sang fantastically. I love her voice, the notes...gah. She too rushed out and I didn't see her, still didn't get to give her the card, at this point, i think i will give it to Greg or Laura or someone to give to her.

Umm someone mentioned Raul...again if you see that thread on the main board, he really was the best of the night. Just amazing, said what i had to there.

Umm...I know Liz loves Anthony...like I mentioned great eloquent speech, he also loved Elvis Costello and was so happy to be singing his songs. He too just puts so much feeling into everything and really loves everything he does, I just love him. After he asked me if I knew any Elvis Costello I said no and he started recommending CDs and such for me to get, LOL. He is also worried about the craziness of Rent at virgin megastore. Ooh, and will shortly add a pic from tonight of me, my friend and Anthony to my website. On another note, pics are finished! Will bring them in to get on CD tomorrow and all those wonderful pics should be up. Again anyone interested, I need e-mails. Includes group photos and Greg's Andre face and such.

Umm..okay...well if anyone wants me to comment or elaborate on anyone else there, let me know.

AFter....gah...soo good, I think it deserves it's own post...

Part 2----eeeeee!

Okay...will try my best to keep wows/amazings, etc to a minimum.

First thing I just did this last night so I don't know if I even told anyone about it. Well, I dunno if you guys knew, but in this past week it has been Raul Esparza's, Adam Pascal's, Anthony Rapp's and Matt Morrison's b-day, and they all were in the concert. I thought that was too awesome and set out to make them cards...I never finished Raul's...oopsy. But each card had a big happy b-day, message and picture I drew in them. Also reformatted Sherie's feel better card to look like that. I drew a bar of soap on a soap dish on Sherie's card(soap for the soap queen), two big eyes on Adam's card("You're Eyes"), Fozzie Bear on Matt's card(he's said Wakka Wakka to me before) and Charlie Brown on Anthony's card(they were pretty good if I don't say so myself.)

So after realizing we were in the wrong place, we entered another lobby where most of the performers were spread out talking, posing for pics, etc. First I see Adam who is taking pics, but then gets stopped again...then I see Matt who too is talking...then I see Anthony talking...Adam still taking pics...Matt taking pics but almost done so finally waited for him. Gave him the card, he loved Fozzie, got a hug and another kiss(hee-hee) and we chatted a bit, he's so fun to talk to. But yeah...onto amazing part..

so...my friend is a huge Adam fan and he knows her so first she got his attention and they took a pic and chatted. Finally I stepped up nervously and gave him the card, explained it was so many b-days, I had to make cards, he saw the eyes and loved it. So...wow I can't believe how slow moments like this seem from memory...so after smiling and giving me a big thanks and laughing at the eyes, he starts to lean down(he's tall and I'm really short) and get close and then I realize he's gonna hug me(eeeee!) and I was so...stuck on OMG I can't believe he's hugging me, that seemingly out of nowhere...I feel a little thing on my cheek...and we hug and he goes back to being tall...and I think I was paralyzed. Took me a bit to process the information, that he had just kissed my cheek, think was able to quickly mumble a "oh and you were great tonight" when we walked away but definitely just stood paralyzed for a little bit. I mean...I...don't love him quite as much as Gerry or the way Annie does John but he's up there...I've adored him for years from the Rent cast recording and seeing him in Aida and Aida cast recording and honestly there's a good chance if you asked me who's my fav broadway person purely from a performance standpoint if he wasn't my answer, he'd definitely be top 3. And I just...can't believe it. A week ago I had never been within walking distance of him and now....gah. I am in my glory, heaven, everything. Depressing **** from a couple of days ago means nothing now. I love him and broadway and elvis costello and everything and life. When really depressing things start to happen, I get a night like this and it's wow...I mean...I can't say I ever imagined I'd be saying within the course of..5 minutes the most I got cheek kisses from Matthew Morrison and Adam Pascal. Sorry, you guys know I post long, and I'm sooo happy and I've been depressed and OMG. Still sitting here like

Well to briefly finish up, finally unparalyzed myself enough to go over to Anthony w/ his card, he loved Charlie Brown, chatted /w him a bit too, some stuff I mentioned in previous post. Realized Daphne Ruben Vega almost left, but got a picture w/ her, of coursed had to mention Rent, but told her I just got her Seth's Chatterbox video and she loved it. Like I said, she was dressed up so that's gonna be an awesome pic.

Then got a pic w/ Patrick Wilson and aps;lkhflksjdah I forgot my Phantom DVD!! But I told him how much I loved the film and he was great and ahem "everyone" was great. Very true. Didn't mention the name. Very nice, very adorable, said he really enjoyed making it, glad I love it.

Then Raul was chatting and taking pics w/ lots of friends and even though I have a pic w/ him(don't like to bother ppl too much for more than one pic) I was just like oh, can I take one? And don't know if I mentioned that I was wearing my shirt that said "Theater Dork", which I called my "costume" and Raul was the only to comment on it, he was like Theater Dork?? Laughed a bit, said it was great, called it a "new one"(?) Really nice though, just like last time I met him.

Finally chatted more w/ Anthony, kinda walked out w/ him. Realized I had one more picture left on the camera and i had to end it tonight. So what is my final pic? Took it of myself as I waited for my car in the garage...my paralyzed grinning face. Most likely will not publicly post, though it is a great summary of the night.

Ulgh, early classes tomorrow. Sleep isn't happening.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Looks like you had fun. If only I knew Elvis Costello songs, I would have been able to justify going for 100 bucks. Oh well, glad you enjoyed yourself Amanda. Did you stay for the party after?

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 11/1/05 at 3:01am

Nah, that was an extra $150. I'm not that rich...

No problem, Liz.

I'm off to the world of learning in a while.

[cserannie]

Posted: 11/1/05 at 10:17am

I don't know Adam - maybe after I see the Rent movie I will know him and love him.

[gavrochegirl]

Posted: 11/1/05 at 10:18am

Adam only has one of the best male voices on Broadway!

GAV i love your new av...its GREAT omg. love it

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 11/1/05 at 10:54am

Thank you Gav (And is one of the most gorgeous...)

Okay, the main consesus here seems to be Norb, Matt and Raul(where's the Sherie love?) And Annie you will fall in love w/ Adam after the Rent movie, but we gotta expand all you guys, I mean there's...ADAM...and Anthony, and Patrick was great(mentioned how much I love the Phantom movie, he was great, "everyone" was great(see didn't mention names), and Daphne as well.

And yeah...great move by me. I walk into my English class...a tad late as usual, to see a sub(odd) and everyone writing dittos. I go up and she says here's the first part of your midterm, you can do the second one at home. Me: "oh." Me in my head: We're taking a midterm?? Today?? Did I even know we were having a midterm at all?? SH*T!"

Luckily, I think I did okay...made up a word for a certain form of compare/contrast organization, and put some things in different words(details/descriptions) but I think...I did okay. Considering knowing nothing and getting 5 hours of sleep, I will be very proud if I did decent on what to me was a pop midterm.
