"Great pics, bunnywings. I love the second one (I know everyone posts it)... "

I resisted posting one of my *favorites* because someone mentioned that we *always* post it, but I'm going to anyway. I *love* this one below for some reason!

I was just thinking with the new Adam thread- we probably post the same 10 pictures of these people 30 times within one thread, so this is no worse than the "sex flush" picture from Hair in that thread.

Anthony has a new track jacket.

The sex flush picture is just... yeaaaah. heh.

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 8:33pm

Is it new, or did he just unpack?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 8:34pm

Nooo, it's new.

Well, it's been a year and a half since LSOH, so he probably figured he might as well get around to it now. Kind of like a bi-annual spring cleaning.

Posted: 5/2/06 at 8:37pm

Sorry, that person would have been me. I didn't mean any harm by mentioning that, but just found it humorous that photo was on the page almost every time I checked this thread.

Additionally, nothing beats the sex flush photo.

And it's a pretty picture, so all is good.

"Sorry, that person would have been me. I didn't mean any harm by mentioning that"

Hey, it's ok. I think I like it because of the red background and with his hair and with that smile and... yeah, I just like it!


ETA: I just have to get my Anthony in. I'm going out of town in the morning. There's going to be like 5000 posts by the time I get back on Sunday. Ugh!

A new track jacket? Yay for Anthony

lol Em. For some reason that made me crack up.

Actually I don't think I've seen that one before. Congratulations to Anthony for getting some more clothes! My friend and I joke all the time about the next time we see him bringing him a suitcase full of clothes. Of course we would never actually be so ridiculous... though those 2 crazy girls on myspace might. :/

That may be new, but the blue Italia jacket was out in full force tonight. UD's event was mildly chaotic, he said UD and FL were the rowdiest crowds he's seen (didn't help that 900 people were doing RENT singalongs before he came in). Of course, I think I offended him when I met him by saying it was a huge change from 5 years ago with 20 people in a room - he kept saying, "no, it was more than that. its not like there was no one there" I think/hope he realized I didn't mean it that way! Poor guy looked tired though - it was midnight and he still had a line for autographs.

And with that, i'm off to bed.

Awww, I hope he's not getting too tired out. I love the Italia jacket, as I have said many times before. It seems to be becoming the new star shirt... lol.

Well I hope you had fun? um... maybe? lol. I'm sorry you had to deal with horrible RENT singalons... that happned at my Day of Silence party on Saturday... RENT kareoke is quite awful most of the time, unfortuantely.

[Tanssia]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 12:31am

The singalongs were actually quite funny. I had a blast, its anthony, how could I not! But, if I could do it again, i'd want the smaller crowd from 5 years ago. :) At least 1/4 to 1/3 of the room hadn't seen Rent until the movie. Interesting to learn...

He's off to Boston tomorrow, I don't know when the man sleeps. But, he did perk up quite a bit when someone asked about Hedwig.

[RENTingFAME]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 12:42am

Hahaha... I asked him about Hedwig when I met him at the RENT screening in early November. I felt really bad, since it was a RENT thing specifically, but he seems to like talking about it.

I still feel a little weird about "RENTheads" who like it cause of the movie... Even my friends that I took to the play, it's still a bit weird to think they're more familiar with the movie than the play.

Glad you had a good time. :)

I, too, love his Italia sweatshirt. I was *so* pleased that he wore it to the signing that I went to.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 1:01am

heh, I just spoke to a friend from high school who was there tonight; she says he does indeed seem tired, but that she really enjoyed seeing him.

[RENTingFAME]

*points to avatar*

yay.

[opiv]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 1:14am

Mabey the group on myspace devoted to him sleeping will inspire him?

The first thing my friend asked when I called her from the signing was "Was he wearing it." I love that jacket.

[Color and Light]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 1:18am

Gotta love that jacket. I took the picture during the master class he hosted today, which was an utterly fantastic experience. My very inconsequential and tiny photo album illustrating the day: http://delaware.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2021751&l=f0fdf&id=11314311

I was also at the UD book reading tonight - I was the girl who made an idiot of herself when she thanked Anthony for Hedwig and asked him "if he had any regrets as an actor". Bad question - conveniently enough, the things I plan to say beforehand always fly away when the time itself comes. My, my - I get so tongue-tied when I ask questions to people I don't know. It didn't help that someone I know (and somewhat detest) from our theater group shouted "I LOVE ANGELINA" from across the room when I started talking. I ended up saying "Well, I love you, too - but right now, I love Anthony more". I could have kicked myself, I sounded like such a deranged thirteen-year-old girl. Not that it wasn't the truth - I do love Anthony more than said girl, but then again, I also love migraines more than her. But I digress.


But it was a great deal of fun. There is something darkly funny about a massive crowd of mostly girls warbling "OUUUUUT TOOOONIGHT" and "mucho masturbation". My friend and I were laughing so hard that I ended up taking a video of the chaos.

I'm not quite sure if I should be amused or worried that he said that UD and Florida were the rowdiest schools he has ever been to - but it was so packed (was it really 900?!) that it was bound to get a little hairy. He *did* look exhausted by the time I got to the table. Bless 'im.

As I said earlier, I also got to do the master class with him earlier that day in the Trabant center. Having him sit (and stretch and crawl around) five feet away from you while looking you right in the eye and talking to you ... is crazy. That man does not break eye contact, which gets very intimidating when he's taking five minutes or so to answer a question, but man is he buckets of fun.

And I agree - he does get quite perky when asked about Hedwig. One of my friends was the girl who asked the Hedwig question at the book reading, and I asked him a lot about it at the master class, too - since the first time I had ever heard of him when was I saw him in the Pittsburgh production. Anthony seemed really pleased to talk about that, which is quite awesome by me, since it's one of my favorite shows.

Aww, thanks for sharing your pictures and story. Haha, he got perky talking about Hedwig... I think it's really great that he looks directly AT you while he's talking. I blush at the drop of a hat (and it's annoying, grr!), so I can understand about feeling intimidated, even though that's not his intention of making you feel like that.

[Color and Light]

Posted: 5/3/06 at 4:42am

Oh, I know he wasn't out to make me feel intimidated - I'm just about as shy as they come when I deal with people I don't know personally. I actually rather like it - I've been to a lot of Q&As and the like for writers/actors/whatnots who don't really acknowledge the people around them - not that I'm complaining. It's just a brisk change of pace when someone actually looks you in the eye! It caught me off guard.

Also, also - I died a little inside when Anthony walked into the room for the master class wearing the Italia sweater. But I'm easily amused, so whatever.

Awesome picture and story!

Does anyone have information about Anthony in Boston tonight? I completely forgot it was May.
