Lacking in the height department myself, I will admit to enjoying stripes because they make me look taller.

*POKES ELPHIE*

Saying things like that means you get annoying phone calls from me.

Just sayin'.

Okay, well you need to find out so that you can corroborate Elphie's claim and get back to us all, lol. Very exciting news, even if it's still not 100% certain.

I love Raul's preppy clothes. And his flip flops. Normally I despise both, but on him it just works, wonderfully

Sorry, Em. :-/ Supposedly, it may be announced tomorrow. I don't think it's *huge* or anything, so don't get super excited.

Speaking of annoying phone calls...the deli was de-lish! Yummy.

At this point, any news is huge. Or maybe that's just in my life!

I finally got paid, now I can try and order my Gypsy ticket. I will never look at Patti the same way again..

Oh, I think I might know what you're talking about. And if we're thinking of the same thing, yeah, it's not exciting at all. (And I can't go.) I hope we're not, heh.

If my toes wouldn't freeze half the year, I'd live my life in flip-flops.

Aww, that's disappointing. Although, unexciting is better than nothing.


I love flip flops. I could live in them, and I do for all of the summer and as much of September as I can get away with.

This is random, but does anyone know if Raul is going to Broadway Barks? I know he's gone in the past, but his name wasn't on the list of "guests"

I wear mine until it snows.

The list is subject to change right up to the last minute, so there's a lot of wiggle room. That would be fun.

How do you despise polos and flip-flops? That's like, my uniform April-September.

I think Raul might prefer taking a well-deserved vacation this summer instead of attending every single Broadway publicity event.

A STRAIGHT PLAY!!! It's only a reading but I don't caaaare.

I knew he was going to Williamstown, but not for this. And oh my GOD, the Stage Manager? I haven't read Our Town since like, my junior year in high school, but isn't that one of those all-knowing narrator types? AKA my FAVORITE kinds of roles EVER?

Dammit. I want to go. I know I said I wasn't travelling again, but I think I really want to go.

I'm a bit behind with the news - is he going to be in Bounce? I read on Datalounge that he's in rehearsals.

That was fast. He said maybe a "play" in the fall, but plenty of people use play and musical interchangeably. That'd be fuuuuuun.

Ugh, I hate Our Town. I had to do a scene of it my freshman year of high school. The Stage Manager in that was even more flaming than Raul.

Train and bus tickets to Williamstown are really expensive. I can't justify that. So... that's out. I'd have to drive. I've been meaning to make a trip up to the WTF for years. I guess this would be a good excuse. Maybe I could spend the weekend and see a few things. A friend of mine is working up there.

OUR TOWN??? HOLY F*ckballs, I've died and gone to heaven. Oh my, oh my. What a beautiful way to end this crappy week I've had.

Skittles - I went to a private school for 10 years that was very conservative, and flip flops and polos were literally our "out of uniform" uniform. So I don't despise them so much as I'm sick of it, you know? If that makes any sense. It reminds me of high school boys, hehe

HAHAHA. I'm watching Spin City. He was in the first scene -- I heard his voice before I saw his face, but he was ADORABLE. His hair was so very 90's. Hot.

I wonder if it's online somewhere; now that I know the name of the episode and where he is in it, finding it may be easier.

That venue is so perfect for this show. I'm almost glad it's not in the city, even though it means it's roadtrip time
