Are you effin kidding me? That's brilliant!
A friend said that they saw a TL5Y signed poster for $25 but he didn't have enough cash on him. When he got back, they were gone.
This makes up for that though!
Thanks a ton! How much do I owe you?
And of course the big question is...is it also signed by his date?

Crap, I should've agreed to the overnight shoot last night for The Cleaner's last day. I sort of wanted to avoid it since I didn't want to make eye-contact with my slimmer, more attractive doppelganger with superior cuticles, and then it turns out she was at Demi and Ashton's wedding instead.
I only paid $5 for it, Pat...no worries.
Did I miss something, Tiff? What happened w/ the last night for The Cleaner?!? Good free food? Orgy w/ Lucy Liu?!?!?
ETA: Pat, I didn't see any L5Y stuff, but I also didn't make it to a lot of the more popular looking tables until things had been picked over. It was CRAZY!
Aaah, THANK YOU MABEL!! Did you have to line up and pay $20 to get the Spelling Bee-ers autographs for your stuff? How much do I owe ya? (Did you succeed in getting me everything in under $10?) What are the NYC map things? What time did you get there? And That Pillowman script is such a steal!
ETA: I forgot, I got a creepy little garden gnome and The Garden Gnome Book, an illustrated history, becuase it was too funny not to get for $2!
I actually have that! He sits on my desk at work. His name is Osama. The little plot of grass is especially a nice touch.
Thanks again for picking up that picture. I can't wait to see it and rub it in the face of those in the Norbert Love Thread.
Tiff, you don't owe me anything...I'm almost embarrassed that I spent so little on you...and I totally forgot about Ellie and Elphie! I did buy myself a copy of the autographed Bee-ers, so I'll probably send that to Elphie as a belated birthday present (kinda takes the surprise out of it)...I picked it up late in the game, and they dropped the prices of most things.
I was VERY giddy about the Pillowman script. I was like "What is that bright orange...No?...Could it be?!!?? IT IS!!!" Now all I have to do is track down Martin McDonagh next time he's got a play on Broadway to get him to sign it!
I got there at 20 to 10 or so...it was supposed to open at 10, and there were already MOBS of people there.
Awww, my garden gnome doesn't have a little plot of grass! What a rip!!! I've got a thing for gnomes...not really, I just think they're kind of funny (Amelie's roaming gnome, and the bit w/ the gnomes in The Full Monty). I forgot to bring my tube of posters this year. I've got a George Harrison All Things Must Pass poster w/ George and garden gnomes on it...LOVE IT!
Where was it held? Close to Shubert Alley, right? Was it totally congested with screaming little green girls?? How's the binding on the Pillowman? Is it like a working script, or a published official one? (Wouldn't you just DIE if you flip through it and suspiciously, all of Jeff or Billy's character's lines were highlighted, and notes were scrawled nearby? Not to mention the doodles of BC+MLP scratched out, with CD scrawled on top?)
You didn't miss anything about the last day of shooting (which was from 4pm yesterday until 7am today). I turned it down because I had a pharmacy shift that I was too lazy to switch with someone, plus my LuLu Complex has gotten the better of me, and then it turns out she was out of town, attending the wedding instead.
Hmmm, a gnome without a patch of grass is like buying cereal and no milk.
Maybe I'll make that my signature.
It's just the regular script that they sell at book stores, etc. I would have DIED if it was Billy's (or any of the cast) working script. AAAHHHH!!! This'll do though.
It was held on 44th and in Shubert Alley. It was kind of a disappointing year. A lot of stuff was crazy expensive...stupid stuff, like back issues of Show People magazine. Who's going to spend $10 for the Summer issue?!?! I know it's for charity, but when you've got boxes upon boxes of something that sells for $2 (that you know they're really just looking to get rid of)...what else was irritating??...OH, tables w/ a bunch of SH*T just thrown on the table w/o any prices. There were tables that looked like someone just took boxes full of books and Playbills and just turned them out. I also love that when they have ridiculously expensive stuff just lying there. One of these tables had some Madonna book and a guy was asking how much it was and the lady was like "oh, that's $200, because it was signed by Madonna." ?!?!?!? Just laying there, under the 25 cent black and white Footloose Playbills?!?!?
You should, Pat...it's borderline genius!
Ellie, if and when you read this, I'm sorry I didn't pick anything up for you. I didn't realize I hadn't bought more. I figured I'd have more stuff I could divvy up (1 v or 2...too lazy to look it up). Poor planning on my part!
Who cares? It's only Ellie.
(We can go flea market shopping on Saturday or Sunday!)

Aw, no worries, Mabel! I forgive you.
I'll look forward to the flea market shopping, Tiff. (That bitch Mabel's not invited, right?)

Of course Ellie wasn't shilling for her to get stuff for her like Tiff and I were.

Nah, I'm too classy.
*watches Ellie scratch her own crotch and sniff it*
Yes, yes you are.
Aww come on, Tiff. She didn't taste it.

BRB. Gotta re-hook up my entire entertainment system in my room, now that my mom has damaged and torn it apart.
Oh yeah...I forgot to comment on that...sounds tres bogus to me, Tiff!
Whoo! I found someone on interference to replace all of the lost U2 DVDs through B+P! *fingers crossed* that they somehow, miraculously get to Pat this week, so it won't come to that...though, it is nice to know that I can get them replaced, and all in one place! Even better! I think after this, Pat, I'll send you a couple at a time. I'd rather spend more that way than risk them all getting lost again. I'm going to be totally paranoid! Besides, that way you can go about copying them in small, manageable pairs. Or at least that's my freaked out plan for now.
There's a faint beeping coming from an unplugged cordless phone base somewhere in my room, and I can't find it because of the mounds of junk that is now strewn everywhere. I'm actually going psychotic listening to it, to the point where I've just trashed everything in sight. The parents are yelling and I've actually gone mad. If I can't find this F*CKing beeping phone and throw it out the goddamn window, I'm going to kill somebody. I've actually gone crazy.
Is it a cell phone or an actual phone? Can you call the phone and find it from the ringing?
No because it's unplugged from the telephone cable thingy, so it won't ring when the number's called. I think that's actually the reason it's beeping. I'm going crazy. It's like the man in The Tell-tale Heart, who keeps hearing the beating, no matter what he does. I can't drown it out, and I can't figure out where the hell it's coming from. I feel like I'm going insane. I'm actually trembling.
Just found it. It was on the floor, underneath the hollow area of the bottom drawer of my newly placed cabinet. Now I've banged it against the table, taken it apart into 5 pieces, and I feel quite better.
That, folks, was my Glenn Close-type of rage and psychosis. (Don't worry Mab, I've never gone crazy like that before. So none of this, "Err...actually, I don't know if you can stay at my place next month." crap. )
