That sounds like a challenge to me, Em. You need to start your letter:

"Dear Raul,

I know you've signed enough sh(t for me, but..."

lol, and just hope that he's having a "witty sense of humor" day? I WISH I had the balls to write him a letter like that, because it would be kinda funny. I'm more the timid "*digs book out of bag*... can you sign this?" type. He has signed so much stuff for me, though. So I'm not complaining.

lol! JTT....I remember those days.

Anyway, BDavis, I just responded on your other thread how jealous I am of that signed headshot. I particularly love that pic, I just have no idea what to write to Raul.

This other guy at the stagedoor had him sign pictures of him and Raul, which I thought was great - so did Raul - but I still feel silly doing it because I dont even know him and I'd be asking him to sign a pic of us....

I think I'm too tired to be making sense, I just got back from 110. Needless to say, I dont think it's competition for Company, but you never know

The one time that I did write him (I did, shut up), I got a really sweet response -- and really, I just wrote what I felt. It was cheesy, but I meant every freaking word of it, and I think that's kind of what we owe them, you know? So, like Avenue Q said to vote your heart... write your heart. Tell him why you love his work.

I have a really adorable picture we took together a few years ago. I want him to sign it, but again, the "enough sh*t" excuse.

I was going to say that you'd think they could make nicer certificates or something, but... it's Broadway.com.

Yeah, well, with the amount they charge in fees for their tickets, they should have more than enough to afford better. At least those cheesy trophies you got at the end of the Little League season.

Raul IS the nicest person ever. And those Broadway.com audience awards? Totally not in his trash.

Em, I'll do it for your birthday. He just has to have a conveniently-timed concert again.

adorable, Em.

I have no real desire to write anyone, but I guess that is because I worked somewhere that received a large amount of fanmail, and I know the process. I am sure that with the broadway boys, you have a better chance of them actually reading it, but I dunno. Even though, if Adam hadn't toured so much and I didn't get to meet him, I might have broken down and written for an autograph.

Heh, it can be a birthday tradition!

I did, I handwrote him this long letter. I was a nerd.

Did you dot your i's with hearts???? hehe

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 1:16am

lol, no. Even my fanmail is all geeky-intellectual. =P

[MotorTink]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 1:17am

Oh, so you asked him for his take on the meaning of life? Or which hair style/color Adam should stick with?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 1:23am

No, but maybe I should. Not to mention my whole mental list of geeky academic questions about Company.

Did you guys watch Raul on Regis and Kelly? Adorable, and he sounded amazing. I loved his performance :)

I think Ted McGinley has a Raul Esparza mancrush now.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 10:10am

It seemed that way!

Heh, I love how that observation was reserved for this thread and not posted on the other one.

[keen on kean]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 10:12am

No, not Ted! The man whose whole career reads "Signpost for jumping the shark on TV"!

[Clayford27]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 10:16am

LOLL Craww!

[jenna2]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 11:06am

hehehe. McGinley frightens me for some reason... I can't wait to see the Being Alive clip on the R&K site later this afternoon. Stupid work makes me miss all the fun stuff.


There's photo of Raul looking like he's about to fall over and pass out from the Theatre World awards last night. Think the week's catching up to him?

At least he didn't wear the yellow jacket again. I thought all the photographs from that event were uniformly unflattering. And didn't they spell Bambi Lynn's name wrong?

[Ariella]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 11:13am

He didn't look very energized.

I was like, "Raul, you'd better be good!" after 40 minutes of listening to Kelly talk about whatever. But McGinley certainly seemed to be... compelled by Raul.

[jenna2]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 11:13am

I didn't even notice that they spelt her name wrong... You would think they'd have someone run a google search or something to make sure the names are right before posting.

Is it just me, or does Johnny Galecki look a little deranged in those photos?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 11:34am

I like how he tried to hug Raul.

Aw, those pictures. That's a "I don't wanna be here!" face if I ever saw one.

What's he wearing? We're not golfing in Florida.

It actually looks sort of like a safari get up. Lots of khaki colored stuff and what not.

But...chest hair!

[misschung]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 1:37pm

Poor guy looks totally pooped.

I like the chain, tho.

[Ariella]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 3:00pm

Heh, he's wearing the chest hair with pride.
