mmm. That was a goooooood day. I want him to sign it before he leaves. ugh. Watch me show up with a list of things I've always meant to do -- a pile of stuff to sign, pictures I need to have, and a list of everything I ever wanted to say but was too shy for.
That'll look cool.
This makes me sad. Quite a major step, but like I said when the 24 Hour Play cast was announced, he tends to jump into the deep end of the pool.
Two questions for Cheno: what else was in this article and where were they handing out the magazine?
Hahaha, wow this is going to be fun.
Hey if you get to take a billion pictures and you've already taken a billion
I got to a point where I decided convos and pics were more important than autographs but maybe I'll bring something for old time's sake if this may be the only time.
Heh, Em if you're able to get out all the stuff you've ever wanted to say, you will definitely be dueting w/ me when the night is over! :-P It's been nearly half a year, quota's up, right?
Maybe this is nothing more than my not wanting this to be true, but was the article definite about it? Since I haven't seen it, my optimistic side says maybe it's just an idea in the sense of his comment to the Times. Who knows?
I'm sad. I'm going to miss him. I know that's really, really silly. But I am.
It would be really funny if us and everyone who was going to well anything Adam was live at brought like a whole stack of stuff to get signed and wanted pics and wished him luck in LA and then he'd be like umm...what's going on in LA?
So something I would do...
Are you kidding? I *should* feel stupid in such a situation, but I'd drop everything and hug him.
Hahahaha...the funniest part is in this scenario he still has no clue what you're talking about, so then you go and hug him for no apparent reason. See I think I'd just feel stupid in that situation, but then I'd prob be better after seeing your reaction. If that were the case and if you actually singing, etc relates to the "highs" you get on, after that interaction, I could prob get you to a karoake bar w/ me!
I just don't want this to be true.
Yes. I'm selfish. Yes, I suck. Yes, I'm spoiled.
He'll never be as powerful on film as he is on stage. It just won't be the same.
/end rant number I-don't-know-how-many. It shouldn't matter.
Em- Are you going to have him sign a spork?
I think it is necesary for 'old times sake'.
hahaha. Perhaps. Maybe I'll give him a copy of that picture. God, I can't believe I made him do that.
On a serious note, I certainly intend to put a good bit of thought into what I say, or whatever -- last hurrah.
(Why am I still awake?)
Oh this is intersting, us westcosters finally catcha break?
um...no offense to all the East Coast ppl, but yay! maybe if he does, i'll actually have a shot at meeting him.
but seriously, if he feels if it's the right choice for him, then by all means, he should go for it!
Certainly. And now that I've slept, I'm going to be fair about this and not cling to his leg. Of COURSE if he can find success out there that's a good thing (and meeting him is nice, too, but I'd rather him be successful than someone on the West Coast get to say they met him).
What I'm afraid of (aside from being sad that I can't see him perform live every few weeks) -- and not that anyone can kill this fear right now -- is that he's looking for something he just can't have. I'm worried that a lot of factors about his personality as an actor are just not... cut out for LA, and that he'll disappear. And that's really sad to me. But he's not stupid enough just to go out there and be ready to give it the old college try. I know he's not that dumb. He must be pretty damned confident. I hope this doesn't backfire. If I can't see him in person, I want some movies, damn it.
Sorry, thought about this the last couple of times I scrolled down the thread, semi-OT but Em, those couple of posts we made back and forth, when you scroll down quickly it goes from my pic of Gerry to yours of Adam to Gerry to Adam, Gerry, Adam...gah! It's become one of my fav threads to just view lol.
I started thinking about a song from "Fame: the musical," in LA. Carmen goes there to try to become famous, but all she meets is drugs and poverty and strip bars and she begins the song by discussing her dreams and LA is the perfect place for them, and the song ends w/ "In La, your dreams all come true."

Seeing as I live in Chicago, this isn't affecting me as much as it is for you NY-ers(even though I'm a future NY-er... but thats beside the point). I think Adam will do well in film, provided he keeps himself separate from all that superficial drama and controversy.
I mentioned the Clinging To Adam's Leg plan to my friend Katie, Emcee, and heres what she said.
flatsville: I can totally see that headlining the news...
flatsville: "TRAIN IS FORMED, ORIGINATING ON BWAY STAR'S LEG - CHAOS ERUPTS!"
flatsville: Aw, forshame! Well just think of it as a test for her - if she reeeaallly loves him... maybe she'll follow? Haha! Just a thought!
Thought you might find that funny :)
I'm torn. I mean, if I believe in him, I should be able to sit here and say "sure, become a huge star, go!" But... like someone was saying the other night, I love him and his work, but I know he's got limits. And then I'm sad. And I don't want him to ever, ever ever, stop singing. He's certainly proven himself a selective actor, and hopefully he can stay that way if he goes out there and not just do whatever floats his way because it's like "oooh, shiny."
Fizz, that's really funny. And I do really love him, but I also love New York (and my sanity!) far too much to move as well. I'd just be bordering psycho -- I soooo wouldn't go there. It'll be okay. I shouldn't be so sad over this, you know? I hate to say it, but I've got to force the notion that he's just an actor, as personal as it's become.

Y'all should really stop worrying. Adam will be back in 2 seconds. First of all, he's not a strong enough actor to take parts away from anyone. Second, Sh-K-Boom has had plenty of opportunities to make inroads for him into the LA music scene and they have not been successful. So unless he's got rocking new management and has suddenly developed the acting skills to rival Edward Norton, he'll be back on Bway in a few minutes, and that's precisely where he should be.
I still thinking clinging to his leg is a viable option. At least then you can get his autograph on a restraining order.
That's just what I've always wanted!! You know I like unique things autographed...
I mean, what better way to demonstrate your feelings than to latch yourself on to one's leg?
It works for kids. You'd be surprised how many parents would rather be late to work than leave their child crying. It makes them feel more loved or something.
Yeah, but I'm almost 20. May not work so well.
Just bumping this to see if anyone's got any new info?? Please let him stay in NY!
Look, the pit in my stomach just came back. This thread makes my heart sink.
He says he's going to start working on a new CD soon -- which presumably would be done in New York. If this z100 thing on Friday turns into something substantial, and I can go, I'll try to bring it up, in some inconspicuous way.
noooooooo Adam! we'll miss you!
I'm sorry Emcee but I had to bring it up!! It makes me wanna die, too, although probably far less than you because I've just started to get into him. I still hear sometimes that he lives in Westchester and I dream that I'll meet him one day there because I go to school over there. Oh well.
