Autographs--What Do You Do With Them After You Get Them?

Posted: 7/1/08 at 10:55pm

I cut mine out with cuticle scissors and paste them into a scrapbook underneath a picture of the star who signed it, with a notation for (1) who I stage-doored with, (2) how long I stood there waiting, (3) whether the person was nice or nasty (on a scale of 1 being Sierra Bogess Nice and 10 being Patti LuPone Nasty) and (4) whether I saw the show or not.

My all-time favorite is Cheyenne Jackson's signature and the chewing gum he wanted to get rid of. He stuck the gum next to his name and drew a little arrow leading from the gum to a circle with the words "Hey, look! My DNA!!"

What do you do with YOUR autographs?

Did you ask for his gum?

Yeah, that's pretty disturbing.

I eat them so as to absorb the DNA right into my bloodstream. Because then it's like we're one.

I wish someone would give me their chewed gum, PalJoey! That would make it so much easier!

Oh, PJ. I gotta get to bed. Couldn't you have waited until tomorrow?!

I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

I mail them back to the person that signed it. Who knows, they might need it someday.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

I'm crazy about my Playbills, so I'd never ever cut the autographs out (cute idea, though!)

What I usually do is take my autographed Playbill and arrange it along with my ticket to the show and any other things I can think of (understudy inserts, etc,) and arrange it on construction paper and put it in a frame. After I frame it, I hang it above my piano. It makes for a nice presentation, and I've got my own little Broadway Corner going on.

If you didn't ask for it, it seems kinda presumptuous of him to assume that his fans are dying for his chewed gum.

Of COURSE I didn't ask him for his gum!

What do you think I am? A saliva-stalker?

It was a beautiful moment.

Really, newyorkcurious, would you rather eat an autographed piece of paper (usually a Playbill cover, I'm getting used to the taste and texture) or a piece of chewed gum? I'm jealous of the gum thing!!

elphiesmagic, why are those my only options?

I guess I am in the minority. I don't know y'all it's kinda gross. Besides, I put my Playbills in the binder. I wouldn't want a piece of gum to bulge up and stick to the plastic sheet.

You don't SAVE it, silly. You CHEW it.

So that you're really, REALLY close to him.

I frame all of my autographed Playbills & hang them on the wall. Sometimes I also include the ticket stub inside the frame as well.

I frame the Playbill or poster they signed, look at them and think to myself, "Oh, isn't that nice." And PJ, is Patti really a 10 on your nice or nasty scale? I've never had a bad LuPone encounter. I guess you have?

Well, she wasn't exactly nasty.

She just looked at me one night and said, "Don't you EVER go home?"

I did my best to smile at her and said, "Good evening, Miss LuPone. I understand from my friends here you gave quite a performance tonight."

See? I didn't say if it was good or bad--I just said "quite a performance." I learned that in a thread on the Off Topic Board.

Well Patti didn't like that, so she turned to her assistant and said, "Pat? The HEAVE-ho!"

"Oh, no, you don't!" I said. "You can't make ME go. I'm here to see Mr. Gaines, and HE'S a gentleman!"

She just kind of snorted and said, "What? Do you want to get your grubby little paws on his gum too?"

I guess somebody must have told her about Cheyenne and the gum.

But Sierra Bogess was a DOLL!

Did she really say all that? Even about the gum?

Ah, I see. Well, durring my Patti encounters I keep it breif, usually out of fear (JV: "You're great." PATTI LU: "Thanks.").

I think I'd rather eat the gum than a Playbill. I used to devour quite a lot of paper when I was a kidlet, and nothing tastes worse than printed ink. Yuck! (Well, maybe those receipt rolls where they use heat to print rather than ink... those are pretty nasty too...)
