Fizz, I know you've freaked out about people getting too close/doing tango poses with Anthony before, so it seems a bit hypocritical for you to overlook and defend that now just because you know the person.

Zyla, it's kind of a long story. It's not important.

Hey guys! I just got back from the Philly signing (5 college students + 10 hour drive= Me very sleepy). I’m not gonna write anything too detailed about it, but it was really fun and I still can’t believe I was in the same room as Anthony… You don’t get that opportunity very often when you live in Ohio.

He read about Jonathan, had a Q&A, and then sang La Vie Boheme, which was awesome even with just one person. The question I was going to ask was sort of answered for someone else; I wanted to know if Feeling Electric was going anywhere, and apparently it is, I can’t wait to hear more on that. My friend asked him to do the spazzy hands where he spreads his arms out, lol, and she apparently got a picture of them together doing that.

I was number 80 for the signing so we didn’t have to wait long after the Q&A. I got my book and a book for my mom signed, and Anthony was a sweetie as usual. I’m afraid to say that I am an idiot though. I barely said a single word- he asked if I was Yvonne (my mom’s name), I said no, I’m Abby, and then we took a picture together and I said nice to meet you and left in a daze. It wasn’t even me being ‘star struck’ or anything, I was just really shaky and nervous about being so close to someone I admire so much, so I didn’t get a chance to even tell him how awesome I think he is, lol

So, Anthony, if you’re skimming this, I’m sorry I was too shy to tell you how much I love your acting/singing/writing, and what a huge inspiration you being out has been for me. There are so many people in this world that have drained me of self-confidence with remarks like “that’s so gay” and bills trying to be passed to take away rights- and you have helped to give me back some of that lost strength to stand up for myself and my beliefs. Thank you.

And, with that, I am going to bed, because I’ve been in a car 20 hours both ways, and haven’t slept for 2 nights, I’ll hopefully have pictures soon! It looks like my Spring Break is coming just in time.

I'm happy to hear that you had a good time. Sleep well!

Feeling Electric is indeed going somewhere.

I'm dying to see FE again.

I want to see Feeling Electric so badly, I love the music.

Shiska--don't worry..I don't even *remember* what he said to me. All I remember are the things I said, I was so nervous.

Shiksa, was it crowded?

[Shiksa Goddess2]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:41pm

I got there pretty early, and my friend saved me a spot, but from the looks of it there were a lot of people. I think I heard a lady say she was number 355, so that's a lot.

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:42pm

Wow, that is a lot! They gave away 223 numbers in DC.

[Shiksa Goddess2]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:43pm

I may have misheard, but I'm pretty sure that's what she said. We didn't wait around because we had been driving since 5:00 AM and were really tired/hungry.

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:44pm

Gosh, you're dedicated. Where the heck were you driving from?

[Shiksa Goddess2]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:48pm

Ohio, the very farthest away from PA Ohio, lol. What is REALLY ironic is that Anthony told some of my less shy friends that he just added a new date in Miami, OH. Enter us wanting to die, lol But it was totally worth it, I love cities and Philly was very pretty- the little bit of it we saw, anyway. Besides, he's going to MU, so we may not be allowed in since we're non-students, but we're definently looking into it to see if we can go.

Just wanted to say that it sounded like an amazing experience, Shiksa.

[Shiksa Goddess2]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:53pm

It was I'm going to sleep now, night guys!

I would love to see Feeling Electric. I'm really bad about finding info for this stuff. When is Anthony going to be in it and when will the public be allwoed to see it?

I read a little blurb about it and it sounds really cool.

I *really* wanted to see it earlier this year (I think back in September?), but my mom couldn't take me . I definitely have to see it this time.

Right now, it's still in the workshopping process, but a production will pretty likely be happening... not too far in the future. Casting for the production, obviously, is way up in the air.

It's really quite good.

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:57pm

I was so happy that I was able to see it.

[RachLaura]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:57pm

Got it. Em, you're like my broadway encyclopedia

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:58pm

hah. Hang on.

Posted: 3/3/06 at 10:58pm

I just found out that Norbert and Sherie had been involved with it at one point. Those two do *almost* everything together, makes me happy.

Feeling Electric is amazing.

Fizz, I know you've freaked out about people getting too close/doing tango poses with Anthony before, so it seems a bit hypocritical for you to overlook and defend that now just because you know the person.

*blinkblink* I wasn't TALKING about the tango pose. The photo in question was just a normal picture, unless its been changed since I saw it posted. As for tango pose pics, I have not freaked out, but merely commented that there's been too many and I think people need to do something new.

I'd appreciate it if you would please not pull up every single time I seem hypocritical in this thread. If you have a problem with me, please PM me about it instead of doing it publicly.
