Spending the evening listening to that amazing voice with my favorite gals and 2day: Priceless.
I had a great time last night, minus the embarrassing sh*t I say. It was great to meet you 2day. I am looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday!

I'm glad you guys had fun...I'm with you WDIN, not bitter or jealous or anything... But I really do expect a full report when I get back from class, 2Day. That is, if you can type by then...
Edit: Did you guys see the post on the main page by midtowng... (I don't remember the rest of the sn)? Hope is alive and well!!!
Aww. Everyone getting drunk without me?! I am the drunk of the family. This saddens me greatly. Not to mention I havent drank in a while since my show opens on thursday.
Well Im glad everyone had an excellent time, i am busy being sad and jealous about it.
Now off to the cafe and then to class.
It's kind of hard to give a report, when your mouth tastes like cotton balls and you can't remember half the night! Right now my memory of the night is as follows:
Queer Songbook, oh there's Natalie and Scott Allgauer, oh look they're so nice they came over to say hi - people can't pay their rent, we should collect money. Free wine!
Oh look there's the back of John's head and maybe Adam? Opens the program, watches MoG's face fall when realizing John sings in the second Act and not the first, but tries not to squeal because Michael goes up second in the first Act. Comfort her with the knowledge that she'll at least hear Cheyenne. Check watch. Sit in uncomfortable chair, check watch. Plan our escape route, check watch. Hear Shoshanna Bean, yay Shoshanna, hear Michael, yay Michael! Check watch. Hear other people, can't remember, but yay them! Check watch. Offer mouth to mouth services to MoG after Cheyenne. Check watch. Listen to Rob Sapp sing a new song from Zanna Don't and then very, very casually tear for the exit to make a mad dash uptown.
Haul ass in a cab, watch Newcomer nearly take the seat with him when getting out of the cab. Walk right into Kristin upon entering, exchange small talk about something - don't know what, promise to see her later. Find our table in the back with the help of Bruce Vilanche's incredible, amazing non-stop staring the entire way. Offers to give mouth to mouth to Newcomer after seeing the prices. Bump into 2day4u on our way to "tinkle", force him to "tinkle" with us, only you know, on his side of the hall. Get back, order liquor. See Kristin again, hey Kristin, try to brainstorm ideas to save the show. Oooh liquor. Begin consumption of mixed drink which was .5% orange juice and 99.5% vodka and costs approximately half of my yearly income.
Clap clap clap, ooh Michael. Michael's so pretty, especially when you start seeing two of him. Drink, drink, drink. Internally humming along with Michael to a song I don't know which made for an interesting interpretation. Laughs at Michael half acting out the songs he sings. Checks 2day4u in case he needs mouth to mouth. Drink, drink, drink. Blurry Michael singing, nearly cry at Better Than I. Drink, drink, drink. Checks 2day4us in case he needs mouth to mouth. Drink, drink, drink. Try to find a comfortable position with the twelve pillows provided in the booth, wind up becoming a contortionist. Drink, drink, drink. 2day4u still breathing? Check? Newcomer's head falling more and more to his shoulder in awe? Check. MoG laughing slightly louder than Michael singing? Check.
Waiter! Another round. Thinks of all of the good I could have done with that money like used it to sue the investor who backed out for emotional trauma. Screw it. Drink, drink, drink.
More singing. More clapping. Many more Michael's, about 4 of them on stage at once at that point, and all of them very talented. Slurp, slurp, slurp. Molest MoG's hair. No longer care if 2day4u is breathing because I'd probably break all of his ribs if I tried CPR at this point. Sluuuuurrrrpppp.
Clap wildly for so pretty, so talented Michael. Cry when I see the check. Room spins. I may have asked Michael to figure the check out, or maybe to pay it when he came over. I don't know, I asked him something, it's hard to say what when my singular memory of him at the table is something along the lines of him doing a techno interpretative dance because of my blurry head, only he wasn't so much with the actual moving around part in reality. MoG tries to explain geography. I proclaim Faile "you bitch", only I can't remember why exactly.
See Jenna after selling kidney to pay the bill. Liquor starting to settle in to every part of me, not sure where the floor is. Oh Jenna, poor Jenna, but her top is *sweeeet*. She wears really cute clothes. Bare sympathy. *sniiiffff* May need more liquor. Must tinkle in the worst way. Nearly run Michael over on a mission to tinkle.
Oh look there's Jenna again in the tinkle room. Oh look, the floor is still under my feet. Talk above the sounds of tinkling about girly things.
Must get air. MUST GET AIR. Take very, very drunk photos and act like asses on Park Avenue. Establish firm girl crush on Kristin and her hair (and her date). Trying to brainstorm, and all I'm firing at that rate are limp darts thrown against a quadron of tanks. No clue.
Sit on the stone thingy because I have to before there's no more ground beneath my feet. Cannot get up to take picture with Michael. Want to, but cannot. Happy that 2day4u does.
Traipse down Park Avenue in search of food, somehow wind up in Times Square - don't recall very much of that walk. Say goodbye to 2day4u and Newcomer. Get food. Reality starts settling in.
Room no longer spinning from alcohol but post-alcohol haze. Make it home by 2:30, think it best not to go to work still drunk. Sleep until now, but have happy dreams.
Give me some fog clearing, maybe I'll remember more.
You are the funniest human being on the face of the earth and I may print this out to read when I need to laugh. Seriously, you missed your calling!!! LOL

Well thank you, I always thought I had it in me to be an embarrassing drunk for a living!
I cant believe you got drunk! Don't you realize the responsibility you have to remember EVERY detail, Maby we could make it like a job, then you would behave and report back properly, how much would you charge per hour!
HAHA you know im just kidding it really sounds like you had alot of fun this time! And I know in time those details that us pathetic out of towners live for will come back to you!
ooh Michael. Michael's so pretty, especially when you start seeing two of him
Remind me to get drunk next time i see him!
OH i almost forgot---great news
===It looks like we will be comming to Michaels show in December, Now that the october trip is cancelled we need to get back into the city, and what better reason than Michael? Never been there that close to christmas it will be the best gift ever!

So my rendition of the night was not so funny. Unfortunately the waiter never back to my table and thus I was unable to get drunk. So I paid $50 for the show & 1 drink. It was worth it, but I could have used another drink. I did have a large margarita at Friday's but it had no affect. I'm thinking my summer tolerance is still there or maybe I am finally getting something out of law school, lawyers are known for their ability to drink after all. Oh well, I am home, I need to study.
It was great seeing Trisky, MOG, Newcomer again. And to meet 2day of course!! He's such a cutie. I also got to talk with Jenna & Kristin, both are just wonderful. Then there's Michael. I fear I interrupted him when he was trying to give a CD to someone important. Of course he was very gracious about it. I feel so bad. I have never been known for my timing.
Oh well, no time to catch up on the thread. Work has calmed down now, but school is calling.
I posted the last 2 articles in the Washington Post Series on being Gay in America on my LJ if anyone is interested.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/failes_place/#item16035
I also posted a journal of my weekend trip. It's not much of a read, but it's there none the less.
I have 2 classes today, so I must get to the studying. Later

Trisky, darling, you are absolutely fabulous!!!
I knew y'all weren't sober, no matter what you said! HAHAHA
But, really, that made me laugh in the worst way! Awesome!
I gotta have lunch and go to class. Will post my report by 5, hopefully!
LOL Trisky! That is hilarious.
Way to make the drunk one proud.
- from the drunk one.
I stopped looking at this thread after like, the 1,000,000th view, but was told to read Trisky's report. Quite wonderful dear! Now, I was at a quiet sedate table in the back and missed all this drama. Damn!

Thanks Trisky. That was hilarious. It was exactly what I wanted!!!! Good way to follow up my sucky morning classes. I'm glad you guys had so much fun. Damn, why didn't I go to NYU or something?
You're all very welcome. I'm just hoping nobody said anything too incriminating that we can't remember now in the morning light.
Oh, one thing I remembered, Michael mentioned that he was singing at John Bucchino's show at Opia on Thursday night, if any of you all can/want to stop by and see that.
Also the structure of the show was Michael singing songs from a handful of composers. He sang John Bucchino's stuff first, then a couple of Jason Robert Brown songs, um... was Brian Lowdermilk's "Stand Here With Me" song after that? Eeek... don't remember, all I remember is something about Brian not being able to afford to get to the east side and leaving nasty voicemail messages. After that was a couple of songs from the work of Ricky Ian Gordon. I have no idea, at this point, what the order was, but Michael sang a few of his own songs (including the male version of "Still Waiting" that Jenna usually sings), told a story about his acting teacher who passed away and then a song about hitchhiking and becoming gay along the way? Maybe? I have absolutely no idea what the last song was, like literally no memory of him singing.
Thanks Trisky. That was hilarious. It was exactly what I wanted!!!! Good way to follow up my sucky morning classes. I'm glad you guys had so much fun. Damn, why didn't I go to NYU or something?
NO u don't
I just found out last night that one of my best friends who goes to NYU has checked in to an anorxia clinic in DC. shes like 6'4 really pretty blonde and checked in weighint 104 lbs. The dr.s said she was 2 weeks away from dieing. she was valodictorian of my senior class and class president and a huge amount of more stuff, and I just dont see it,
what causes people at NYU to do this, I just saw an artice about NYU a few weeks ago about how there have been 6 suisides in the past year. it makes me wanna say
SCHOOL IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
Ok, here it is, what you've all been waiting for!
I had an absolutely amazing night last night. I'm still in shock that it actually happened. It is unlike me to be spur of the moment, decide to skip class, drive to nyc, go see something. It felt so cool, tho, and I blame the lovely ladies of this thread for my actions last night! HAHA
I do believe I was the only one sober last night....even tho you wouldn't have thought so! HAHA...Like, I was gonna get drunk so I could forget everything the next day! You're funny! :-P
I couldn't type a playlist if I tried....Maybe when Trisky is done riding the porcelain express she'll be able to post one!
There were definitely memorable highlights, tho. I absolutely loved getting to hear Michael sing "Still Waiting"....one of my favorite songs of his! Don't get me wrong tho....I love Jenna like a fat kid loves cake! :-P
But, yeah, I'm horrible at specifics. He just sounded great as always, and my only complaint was that it couldn't last longer. LOL
I loved spening the night with the wonderful MoG, Trisky, Newcomer, and Faile! That was one of the best.walks.ever. For serious. HAHA
All in all, had one fantabulous night!!!! Thanks to all who made it this way!
And, FG, was there any doubt that our icon would go poof??? I think not! :-P

Thanks for the concern fake bf. Not that it's much different here. It's a crazy academic school. Last semester I almost killed myself with work, so I took it a little easier this semester.
I hope your friend gets better and knows that she has such a wonderful friend who cares about her :)

How did Michael and John know exactly what to give me for my birthday? Hee!

Grrr, where are you when I need to talk to you on AIM 2Day???
Anyway, so, trying to figure out how to get to see Easter Rising on Dec. 21. Found a place to stay, and my mother's okay with it. Just have to talk to my dad, but he should be fine with it. My mom just wants me home sooner, but she'll get over it. So here are my questions...
Do I need tickets in advance?
Who else is going? (that's just curiousity)
Um...anything else you can tell me...?
Wow, really excited about the possibility...hoping my dad will say yes... I keep thinking, I'm 19, why should they get to decide? And then I go, oh wait, 'cause they buy my plane tickets...
How did Michael and John know exactly what to give me for my birthday? Hee!
Wow, Trisky that is going to be one great b-day!!!!! I love the Chatterbox shows, Michael AND John AND Seth, it is going to be just too funny, can not think of a better gift, well you know within reason!!
So glad everyone who went last night had such a blast!!! I coulda used a couple drinks after my day yesterday too!! I am DYING that Michael sang Still Waiting. Of the music I have heard of his, I really love that song, and have always wanted to hear what him singing it would be like, although I do love Jenna'a version too!!
Jess- I really hope you are able to go in Dec, that will be so fun if most of us from the board can actually go to an event and enjoy it together instead of some of us having to live vicariously through the others, not that we don't love the reviews, but still it would be nice to get to meet everyone and join in the fun for real!!! I am still trying to get the kinks worked out about my time off, I am seeing if they will let me leave early on the 21st so I can make the flight into NY just before the concert??? I am just crossing my fingers at this point!
