Welcome, Anthony Rapp! (part three) — Page 72

Ok, so after walking up and saying hi and the street, I was really happy and immedialty called all my friends (or the ones that would care that I just met him). Then I went in the bookstore and sat on the ground, and tried to read. I was sitting about 2 feet from the counter, and all of a sudden Anthony comes up and stands at the counter. That was preety cool, I really liked his pants

So then there was a lot waiting around, untill 7 when he came out. He talked about his book for a little, and then was gonna read. He made sure everyone had their cellphones off, but right before he started someones phone made a really loud noise, followed by a "Uh huh" from Anthony( he then described yelling at people during Hedwig who had their cells on). Then he read Glory, which was amazing. Next was the Q&A's. Some of the highlights were someone asking him if he was going to play any gay roles. He replied saying that he had done some, including Hedwig. Everyone laughed at the mention of that, and he started laughing a little and then said "Yeah...Hedwigs preety gay" It was hilarious! Hmm im sure others remember the questions better than I do. Then his guitar guy came out, and he sang Loosing My Religion first. I love when he sings that, so I was happy. Then after request for Halloween and LVB, he said he would do Without You ("Im putting my foot down," he said) About a minute into the song, he forgot what part came next, but figured it out. That was preety funny. Then it was time to sign the books. The place where the signing was going to take place was on the opposite side of the room that he was talking on, so because I was in the front the the reading, I was just about last in line. Luckily, my dad had been saving me a spot way up front, so I went there. I waited for about 2 minutes, and then went up. It was really quick, but he said something to me like "Sorry I screwed up Without You", and I laughed and told him it was ok, and I was just glad he did it because I really like listening to him do that song. He was getting ready to sign someone else's stuff when the guy handed him David Searching and he said "Oh Cool" and sighned it. I walked away and said "I already read the book (I'd say a majority of the people there hadnt), and I thought it was great". He said thanks, and then that was it. I was suprised at how fast that part went (once I upload the picture I'll show ya'll, he has the 'WTF' look on his face and I look like im rolling my eyes at him). So after that, I was really happy I had met him prior to everyone getting there.

Pictures soon!

Edit: No, I didnt bring any Fingersandwhiches. I didnt want to get him sick ( I might have, concidering I shock his hand and had a fever)
