Oh, and, Emcee, Sherie René Scott is now my Julia Murney.

Julia so should've done that concert. She could rip that music to shreeeeeeeds. Kind of like the little pieces Raul left my mind in.

Why am I still here? I'm addicted.
The video was fantastic, lack of jam and all.
Yes, he had his jam at that time. I was standing by him the whole time he was being interviewed and I could not stop laughing because he was being so serious while holding jam. He did talk about the jam in the interview but they cut it out. :/
Okay I'm really going now.

hee, I was wondering why you were still here.
I thought those were Broadway Beat cameras, but I could be wrong. Perhaps wishful thinking, but maybe THEY have jam video! It seemed quieter when we saw Raul being interviewed.

I'm sorry, the size of his hand makes my brain hurt. He looks beautiful. He looked stoned in mine because I think he wasn't ready for the photo. In the first one (I closed my eyes, so we deleted it) he looked GREAT. Whatever, I certainly have other excellent pictures with him. Cutie.
I always say what a visual memory I have, and I think one of the best images I have from that night is standing there with you, Stef, watching Raul talk to the camera about the jam, and him seeing us laughing, then looking over and straight-up bursting into giggles.

Ah true Em(about other good pics w/ him). And this is the first time I've paid attention to the size of his hand, now that's all I'm gonna see when I look at the pic.
Heh, see I remember I wasn't paying attention to Raul...maybe was watching Anthony or someone else if anyone was still there or just off in space...and all of a sudden notice you guys burst out laughing and him laughing and either he said to you guys or one of you said to me that he/you're laughing b/c he had to explain about the jam.

It's the size of my head.
I'll say no more.
He was so happy about the jam -- I had to laugh!

Hello all. I'm back. The play was a trip. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet.
Raúl looks gorgeous in that picture and I'm about to watch the broadway.com video again.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up on the bway.com video! It was awesome to see those bits and see some of the interviews. I feel like I remember hearing Raul say something about I Suck I Suck I Suck and laughing a teeny bit, could be creating a false memory though...it's sad though b/c like when Raul's talking you see Anthony talking to the people and I wanted to scream turn your angle, we're right there to the right, we would have been famous....err...sort of.
And Em ROTFL about the Adam/tall thing. I was a couple feet behind you and it was soo funny, you tapped him, he turned around looking almost at me b/c I was in the back, took a second of looking confused at not seeing anyone, that looked down to see you. Haha, you know I can relate. Actually on my way to this event on Monday I saw someone from DRS I know pretty well, said hi twice and nothing. Talked to him yesterday, swore he didn't see/hear me, but said it's probably b/c due to my shortness I'm not in his eye level vision, even the bottom part. I promised next time to jump.

Oh, I'm totally not exaggerating when I say it took him a good ten seconds to find me. I don't put anything past him, really. It was cute. He was sort of like "oh, hi! Hey sweetie! Of course!!" I had caught his eye a few minutes before that, but it took me a while to actually approach him. It's still kind of odd to think that suddenly I can just walk up and talk to him. Every time I see him, I realize I'd forgotten that he IS pretty tall.
I've been so spoiled these past few weeks. I hope he does something with his own music again soon.

How tall is Adam? All this talk about him being a giant and he's probably my height or something embarassing. I'd rather be short than tall. Shortness can be remedied with heels. Tallness you're stuck with.
Oh, Emcee, I saw someone shilling Civilian on LJ and wondered if you had joined.

Nope, I haven't.
Adam's probably just under six feet.

Didn't I take that picture, Wickedrentq?
It made me so happy that he was SO happy about the jam. I was so worried that he wouldn't get the joke or that he would think I was weird. I'm glad that he got the joke aspect of it. I doubt he's ever been given jam before. I even told him before I gave it to him that it was a joke so he shouldn't take it seriously. Haha.
His jacket was very soft. I was nervous while talking to him and I like... touched him arm a few times while pouring out my heart. In retrospect that might not have been a good idea. He was probably wondering while I kept touching him. Haha. Oh well.
His hand... wow. What a hand!
#7070a complex fellow
Posted: 11/4/05 at 11:52pm
His jacket was REALLY soft! I probably subconsciously pet him again. But seriously, he wears very pettable jackets!
On a serious note, I do that. I don't know why. But only if I can manage to let my guard down enough to be comfortable. Like me, Adam and the hand-holding/arm touching we now share. Like, if I can joke around with someone, sometimes I do that. I don't know, I'm touchy-feely?
I hope he ran home and ate the jam.

"I had caught his eye a few minutes before that, but it took me a while to actually approach him"
Oh, I am quite aware darling. Remember, I was pushing you.
Skittles, I've heard that argument before but when Norbert Leo Butz is 7 inches taller than you...it's just a tad on the short side. There aren't heels that can help. And checking my picture, with Adam, I come up to between his chin and lips. I'm 5 feet so figure out how much height a person or he prob has from between his chin and lips to the top of his head.
Yes, Stef(should I call you that b/c that's how I was introduced to you in person or bww name?), I believe you did take that, thanks! For a second I couldn't remember b/c I just kept throwing cameras at people, but I do remember throwing it at you lol. Great picture taking skills!
Also a big fan of jackets.

Dude, I just love hugs.
I'm just barely up to Adam's shoulders. He's definitely just shy of 6 feet.
