Welcome, Anthony Rapp! (part four) — Page 29

*I* keep thinking my avatar is of someone else.

The clothing...choices make me think of Elton John a little. But other than that, no, not really. Who are you thinking of?

---

agreed.

Thats because he is unique, and chooses to sit on tables instead of chairs, lol.

Wait, what movie?

Yes. I keep thinking of Elton John. I didn't want to be the only one. Obviously, I'm not.

---

I said he looked like Elton in that picture months ago and people told me I was crazy. I win.

---

Oh, it's always a competition. Yay for Skittles' victory.

---

I didn't mean it like that. I say "I win" all the time. It doesn't mean I was competing or something, it just means that I was right, I guess. It's just this weird thing my friends and I do.

---

Ha, I love Anthony the Human Pretzel.

I went to Anthony's Hollins booksigning in Roanoke, VA tonight, and it was a really great experience. I'll brief, since I know you've all been reading a lot of these lately. Anyway, it was much more crowded than I'd anticipated.... the seats filled up and a lot of people were sitting on the floor and on the stairs. It was a fun, very enthusiastic crowd.

Anthony is a fantastic speaker, which I knew on some level, but it didn't really register to what extent until hearing him. The tone of the entire thing was very casual and conversational, and he does a great job of reading the audience. As with other signings, he started off by reading excerpts from Without You before devoting the majority of the time to answering people's questions. The questions were interesting, but I would imagine that most of what was covered has been discussed in regards to the other signings. At the conclusion, he sang "Losing My Religion" and "Seasons of Love."

I was completely unprepared for how nervous I was when actually meeting Anthony. I managed to get out a sentence or so, but none of what I had prepared to say. In any case, he was very gracious, and it's so nice to have met him.
