I think it was more to give very stark highlight to things that were symbolic, rather than the colors themselves being symbolic.

Elphie, it's all black and white.

*grin* AMDA is the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (http://www.amda.edu)...which is in New York.

You realize my first thought actually WAS..."I can see Raul in Company now!"

I'm such a loser. :-/

You're not a loser! Anything having to do with Raul is totally unloserish.

Often, when I talk about Raul, my friends call me a loser. But, they *always* mean it in a good way.

Right?

Of course they do!

My friends don't know who Raul is.

I was telling my neighbor about Raul, and he thought I said something like "Rola Nuspar". Something like that. He thought he was from Bolivia or something.


Roland Spicer. *cracks up*

Picturing Raul as porn star Roland Spicer is something that will never fail to make me laugh.

No, I didn't know that. I guess I should go check them out.

Yeah, they're great.


But, for serious (I love saying that!), there was an interview where Raul talked about people butchering his name, and he said one of the worst was "Roland Spicer. That sounds like some sort of porn star's name." Something like that. I find it tremendously amusing.

I have officially turned my mother into a Raul fan- she is in love with TTB and Taboo. And I'm getting her into Sondheim through Raul... this is a very good thing!
