Anthony's new blog post is pretty lengthy, so I won't post the entire thing here, but I'm pretty sure that the link should work for both MySpace members and non-members.
Anthony's new blog post

Good Morrow, fellow Rappheads!! I've been taking a playwriting class with Hilary Bell, a renowned Australian playwright. Her father, John Bell founded the Bell Shakespeare theatre company and has been acting there for years. She's been a really awesome teacher, and so from that I'm attempting to write my first play. Hope it comes out good.
Many of you may remember hearing some great buzz about a show called SIDES: The Fear is Real, because Anthony's partner, Rodney To, was one of its stars.
For those of you on the West Coast, SIDES will have a limited run in LA. It's absolutely hilarious, and I urge all who are able to go see it.
For more information, visit www.mrmiyagi.com and www.eastwestplayers.org, and this Main Board thread about the show:

It sounds like a really interesting show. Too bad I live on the East Coast.
My sister just told me that Anthony Rapp is gonna be at her college in November to do a book reading/signing! I stopped breathing.
University of CT. My sister is part of a sorority that is sponsoring it. I don't know exactly when, but he's suppose to be coming in November. Yay

Sorry you guys can't go. I'm sure some people living in the city will be able to go, but it's still a pretty long drive.

Just found out something interesting. Anthony did a brief cameo on Tom Green's live internet show. Andy Dick was Tom's guest for the June 28 show, and Andy decided he should call his celebrity friends (starting alphabetically). Some fun Anthony moments with Andy and the macaw.
If you want to see this episode, go to tomgreen.com and click on "On Demand." On the right, click on "Tom Green Live Episodes" and scroll down to June 28th 2006. You would have to wait until 26:40 mark on the streaming file before Anthony shows up.
A warning to the younger posters. Since it's Tom Green and Andy Dick in the same room, expect some crudeness and language. (In my opinion, this time is the most subdued I've seen them together. ... However, I'm still watching the show now at 33:00 minutes. Something may still come up.) The show also drifts off on tangents because the structure of the show is very loose.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the heads up!
ETA: I had to put up with Tom Green and Andy Dick for 27 minutes before Anthony answered the phone. But he answered really cute and it made me laugh. I only wished that Tom Green would have been quieter, so I could've heard Anthony. I know, I know, it was Tom's show, but still...
Actually, I hate when either friends call me or I call them and they're distracted by something else and don't listen to me. I always feel like saying, why did you answer the phone if you were busy and couldn't talk?? Oh wow, end rant, I guess. Oops!
Anyways, thanks for the snippet of Anthony.
I'm jealous that I live pretty far from New York...
Anthony is apparently participating in The Unauthorized Musicology of Ben Folds, which takes place on Sunday September 24th at 7pm.

Anthony was pretty adorable on Tom Green, when you could hear what he was saying.
Did anybody know that Anthony was apart of some charity show at Joe's Pub called "Don't Quit Your Night Job." Well he was. They posted pictures on Broadway.com. I love the caption for this picture of Anthony & Rodney. It was something like: SOrry ladies, Anthony's heart belongs to Rodney To.
ETA: Anthong is going to be at UCONN on November 1st. He's suppose to be there at around 7 or 8, but it hasn't been confirmed. He's just supose to be talking, but no singing I believe.

Hey, thanks for the info and pictures from Joe's Pub. I just realized something about the one picture of Anthony and Rodney (the "Sorry ladies" one). Rodney is wearing Anthony's shirt ... or maybe it was vice-versa.
I've seen a layout featuring Anthony in that shirt...
And, yes, I must agree that Anthony was pretty funny from what we could hear of him on Tom Green Live.
