Aww Emcee I am right there with you.
It seems much longer than one month, yet so much shorter at the same time. At times I am still in denial.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 6:31pmlol i love you gabby! i thought that i was the only one who realized this! i can't believe it either. it's crazy. everytime i look at something that has to do with AIDA i cry. I sang 'easy as life' at my voice lesson about 15 minutes ago and i was like sobbing throughout the entire song.My voice teacher was just like...'wow, you put a lot of emotion into that song!'.

I can't believe it's been a month. sometimes it seems like longer, sometimes it seems like it never even closed. It;s always sad to tell my friend that wanted to see it that it's gone A moment of silence is in order.

::hugs Emcee and sobs::
I have a kinda funny Aida story to cheer you guys up...
When I saw it in June, I had green mascara on cuz I was going to also see Wicked later that night. I cried so much that it all washed off and got ALL over my face. So I spent a desperate few minutes in the stagedoor line trying to wipe it off before anyone saw.

I'm so upset now that you mention it closing one month ago!! So I just turned on my recording and opened up the BOOK...still sad
The thing is, I really didn't think I'd be this upset. I thought I'd react just like any other show closing, but this has been so emotional, for some reason.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

*sigh*
I slept in one of my Aida t-shirts last night. I woke up today, and looked at the picture next to be bed and went "oh, look. It's October 5th." I just... I still don't believe I got to be there that day. I've been past the Palace a number of times, and I can't ever even look at the All Shook Up billboard. I keep thinking that if I ignore it, Aida will still be there when I turn around. Then I see that sign on the door "AIDA's final performance was September 5, 2004...." and it actually hurts me. I listen to the CD every now and then, and I can picture every single thing. I remember how every time, in the middle of Act II, I'd turn to whoever I was with and be like "Oh my God, it's over." It just flew by. Every. Single. Time. Okay, I'll shut up now. You guys know I'm sad. No use beating a dead horse.
AIDA, I miss you!

Posted: 10/5/04 at 9:48pmi thought that i would be fine when aida closed. oh booooyy was i wrong. i was sobbing the entire day. heck! i'm sobbing just writing this! whenever i get upset i remember one thing 'fortune favors the brave'. we have to be brave and fight the emotion! it's going to be hard, but we have to be brave.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 10:44pmI miss this show, and I wish I had seen it a million times. I just thought it was so amazing, and it was also hilarious (the princess Amneris). I'm glad that I got a chance to see it, becuase it started everything on Adam Pascal!! But one month... wow. It's so weird listening to the music, and realizing that it's not playing anymore.

"becuase it started everything on Adam Pascal"
*squeals*
And I had been SO good about keeping him out of this! 
Yay for the Pascal, though.
I used to listen to the CD every day. I tried to ignore it for a while. I still dont' listen to the whole thing very often, but I always welcome the music when it pops up on my iTunes shuffle.
