Wow, sounds like you guys had quite the experience. Oy, fangirls.
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
--NYU student quoted in the Washington Square News about students ignoring the frequent fire alarms in dorms
Yes you were, Em. I could only imagine what the crowd would have been like if Adam wrote a memoir... and his little kids came to the signing only to be mauled by fangirls.
i grew up 13 miles north of bohemia and 31 miles northeast of hicksville.
I was here! But, wasnt in the BWW section. Sort of in the middle of the middle clump after the chairs. I thought it was fun though. Got there at 5 and bought the book. Stood there, made a few friends, moved up so we can let more people in. And, it got really annoying when a group of people started clapping and screaming and everyone looked and freaked out. Everyone was looking for Anthony and then the people who started it were laughing. I did notice the girl with the angel stockings, she was a few people in front of me. She was standing on her RENT bible and anthony's book and was actually ripping the front of the book after jumping on it so many times! It was cool to see and meet Anthony though. And, after the first group of people in the chairs went, someone decided to start mooing, which started everyone else on a mooin frenzy. So, every now and then, you heard this burst of moos. After standing there for 4 hours in a hot Barnes and Noble, Mooing was the last thing on my mind!
I had no idea what I was in for. To be honest, had I known how insane it was, I might've been tempted to stay home. I enjoyed the reading and the Q+A immensely (as well as the opportunity to meet Anthony), but it was over. the. top.
