Ha, this is the last signing I get to go to. I'm geussing he won't be back in San Fran for a while though.

Still, more than one is more than I went to. Have fun! Can't wait to hear about it.

Yeah, I'll try to find you. You'll probably be able to hear me coughing up my lungs.

[mizzairee]

Posted: 5/18/06 at 11:48pm

Aw, I hope you feel better! I'm getting over a cough, too... I'm going to Great America tomorrow, so riding rollercoasters probably won't help any.

I was sick last time also. Bah, not good.

[mizzairee]

Posted: 5/18/06 at 11:57pm

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Make sure to get lots of rest, and drink lots of fluids! =)

I'm sick too... no fun. Though I think I would feel better if I was going to see Anthony! Instead I get to stay home and do homework and clean my room, which has gotten out of control because I have been a sick lazy bum. Ugh.

I really wanna see Anthony in NY or something. I didn't get to go when he was there in Feb. because of school & no ride there. Hopefully he'll come back to NY, since it is his home

Well good luck, picturetaker. He seems to be there often. Hasn't he already done like 3 signings there?

Congrats, Rapp'unzel! Have a good time! I wish I could go... I am way too much the jealous type. Sorry. Anyway, can't wait to hear all about it.

I still love your avatar.

Ok, here's a rough document of today.

So my friend, my mom and I got there at around 2:30. I was hoping to get there a lot sooner, but I had driving lessons today, so we were rushing out the door the second I got home. But we still had a good view, and it was fortunatly a lot more laid back and calm than the last San Fran signing. So we bought our books (I'm not really sure what to do with two) and waited for him to come out, wearing the Italia jacket by the way

First he started talking about Rent, and the 94' workshop. He sang a little Rent and Right Brain, which was cool. Then he read the part from his book about singing the Rent songs at the opera presentation, and the Peasents feast.

Then he did a Q&A session. I don't remember hearing any new-ish questions, but as always, he answered each one very nice and thoughtfully. My mom raised her hand really suddenly, but thankfully didn't ask something like "Do you relate to Mark..." or "Why wasn't the original Mimi and Joanne in the movie...". Thank god. He finished with the Seasons of Love acapella, which was beautifl. My friend was this close to crying.

Next he started signing the books, and the line was moving pretty fast. I decided to wait and be last in line (we ended up something like 5th to last). My friend just read Nocture, and asked him how he memorized it, or something like that. I'm not really sure what he said, but she commented later on his direct eye contact throughout the whole answer, saying it was really "intense"

I went up next, and he said hi again, or something like that. Then he wrote "Opiv" on the post-it note they stuck in my book, and wrote "Hi Katie/Opiv." I couldn't believe he remembered that, wow he's amazing. He then signed the picture I brought of us from his show in Februrary- "Hi Katie again." And a

Blah, then my mom got her OBCR signed, and said something about me listening to Rent before the movie, and then becomming "obsessed" when the movie came out. I actually just started listening to it more in November around the time the movie came out, but whatever. If your reading this Anthony, I'm not a crazy movie fangirl.


So that's about it. I'll try to scan the picture he signed, and will post the picture I got with him once the lady that took it emails it. It was very fun, and a lot different from the last signing. Thanks again Anthony!

Yeah,the scanner works.



Edit: Heh, I geuss it cut off the smiley face he drew. Darn, that's the best part.

Ah, Opiv, that was amazing! Likewise, I'm glad it wasn't as hectic as his last SF signing. I'll try to post the picture I took with him as soon as I can get it onto my computer...

opiv, that's funny how you wore the same sweatshirt. Too bad he wasn't wearing the same thing. It would've been kinda like deja vu. I like how your previous pictures are in the current picture. Cute picture by the way!

[opiv]

Posted: 5/21/06 at 5:46pm

Guh I know, I need a new sweatshirt. I was thinking of wearing my puma jacket, but I didn't want to be matching him.

And he wore the Italia jacket to the last SF signing too.

Because you guys are the only ones that will get it:

Hey everyone! I just saw RENT on Broadway for the first time last night! It was AMAZING! I'm so jealous of all of you who've met Anthony and gotten his autograph and took pictures with him...but I did the next best thing!



The night that I went, Robin de Jesus was understudying for Angel, and I was so excited to see him because I loved him in Camp. So I found him and told him that!! He is SO sweet.



And then I met Ava Gaudet who was fantastic as Maureen!



Sorry for the slightly off-topic post, but I just had to share!!! I was so star struck last night since I've never actually met anyone like that before.

I actually have a question. Was Anthony Rapp at the AIDS walk on Saturday and Sunday?

[mizzairee]

Posted: 5/22/06 at 11:51pm

BeingAnUs, that's awesome! I'm glad you had a good time. =) Hm, I'm not sure if Anthony was at the AIDS walk... Saturday he was in SF doing a booksigning, not sure about Sunday, though.
