lovely pics. Im SO sad I had to miss the bryant park gig but of course I will have to settle with living vicariously through everyone else fortunate enough to have went. The pictures look amazing.
I cant wait for this show to open up again I am so excited. it is going to be amazing!

AG Cannot fall asleep :-/
So it's over to the BARE thread!!!
I seriously despise being 15...You've all heard it billions of times, but it's so limiting...argh!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to maybe someday being a part of the BARE get together, I think it'd be fantastic!
It'd be one big Michael Arden swoon-fest though...

Thanks MC, Trisky & MOG for sharing!! Great pics MOG. You have no idea how close I was to catching a train to go. I wish I would have.
Damn Savannah trip!! My friends & I decided to do something together this summer, first it was San Fransico (which I was excited about) but when it got switched to Savannah for financial reasons, my excitement disappeared. Must get psyched though. I don't want to let my friends down. At least I won't have to cruise Savannah for an internet cafe now.
Blue Wizard & Trisky - I actually picked up that book too yesterday. I may have a chance to read some this weekend

I saw Michael Arden for the first time at Bryant Park August 19. He was very good. I never saw him before so I thought it was Neil Patrick Harris from "Assassins" and "Doogie Howser" fame. He was friendly and was signing autographs. Aaron Lohr looked familiar, too. I think he appeared as a kid in a Michael Jackson video. He's grown up quite a bit but I recognized him.
What Do I Need--You will be lucky to count these two as friends. I heart them to death :)

WhatDoINeed, don't forget -- you are mine first! LOL.
Trisky and Cowbell are not on my good list.... a.) Adam is NOT John.. they are SOO different.. SOME people think 'different' is adn.. it is NOT... besides, Adam hasn't done Jason in ANY form in front of an audience before this as well...... b.) Adam is in no way OBLIGATED to stop and talk to everyone. If he talks to some, but not all.. so be it.. sometimes, if he were to stay and talk to EVERYONE, he'd be there FOREVER.... YOU say he heard you.. maybe he didn't. Just because you THINK he did, doesn't mean he did... I personally, have head people I know less than 3 feet from me saying something and don't hear because I can sometimes space out.......
Yeah, yeah keep kissing up, you know it's only because we have hot friends. :P
So yeah Bare/Brooklyn/Rent, in Bryant Park yesterday, PM for linkage which I shall be working on later tonight.
Broadwayguy, I'm sure part of it was that he hadn't played Jason before, but I just didn't like his voice on the track and had a hard time picturing him as the school stud. It has nothing to do with his talent as a performer, if he's not necessarily right for a particular role. For instance, I don't particularly care for Eden in Wicked, but I think she sounds fantastic in Brooklyn.
Oh Newcomer, you are so sweet.
Faile - we missed you yesterday. Have a good time in Savannah. We'll see you in October.
WhatdoIneed: You KNOW you're always welcome with us.
Trisky: I heart you for so many reasons.
And Bare performing at Bryant Park and then having Michael hand out cds might have been the best publicity yet. A lot of people were really curious about the show after their performance and mentioned "having to check it out" in the fall.
And yes there was MUCH squeeage over how cute Michael is from boys and girls all over the lawn. Oh, the burden of being so damn cute. Poor Michael.

LOL. You know the boys loves it!
You guys can borrow WhatDOINeed, but he belongs to me.. sorry!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
i've missed SO much. damn respiratory infection.
MadeofGold and Trisky, you girls rock my socks. and More Cowbell, i heart you too. october 13th is looking so far away...it's been so long since i've had a my Mikey/BARE fix that i'm seriously going through withdrawl.
BlueWizard, cruising Montreal? Um, why? You poor thing.
and AG, PM me. We need to talk like whoa.
oh, and these broadway in bryant park pics are making me become SERIOUSLY overheated. Big Mreow for Mikey. I think it's time I became a true Ardenite and get rid of the Max...AHHHHH.
Hey Star. Can't wait to see you in October. Wish you could have come out to the park yesterday.
First BlueWizard gets rid of Princeton and now you're getting rid of Max? What's going on here?
Now Trisky, there were no hidden motives, even though he was a cutie-pie. Chubs don't have a chance with cutie twinks (usually) in the gay world! :)

OMG, stop that Newcomer.
And might I add that it's so funny to hear our little friend referred to as a cutie twink! He'll so love that.
LOL broadwayguy... where is the love? I gave Adam the benefit of the doubt, plus I complimented his butt! I have to get some points for that, right?
Myron - though I don't think Michael looks anything like NPH, the reference made me laugh since I have a lot of Doogie love.
MOG - I saw your little friend yesterday and he was quite the cutie! You're lucky to have such hot buddies.

Ah, AG -
Don't complain about being 15... just don't make the mistakes of the kids in Bare, ok?! hugs!
Chubs don't have a chance with cutie twinks (usually) in the gay world! :)
*sigh*
Newcomer, a) i hope you're not referring to The Adamness and b) shame on you. i happen to think that "twinks" are icky. as we say up here, twinkies are snack foods, not sexual partners.
:)
Star, Newcomer is referring to my friend Nick, not Adam just to clarify.
Did you guys see that Natalie will be singing with Lori Ann Strunk at the Fez on August 30th? Cheyenne Jackson will be there too...hmmm....I've never seen him live but would love to! Natalie and Cheyenne - so tempting.
Trisky or Newcomer, could I convince either of you to come with?

This thread is getting so active I don't know how to keep up! Aaaah!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to maybe someday being a part of the BARE get together, I think it'd be fantastic!
That would be cool. I'm trying to convince my student govt to arrange a trip to NYC during Reading Week in February. I also need to scope out NYU for graduate studies soon (anyone knowledgeable in all things NYU?), so a trip back to the Big Apple is definitely in order....hopefully.
First BlueWizard gets rid of Princeton and now you're getting rid of Max?
Princeton will be back! (Esp. since some non-BARE folk are assuming the icon is of me; the PMs are getting weird.) Princeton just needed a break from having my hand up his....you know why.
MoG, I love the picture of you and Michael on the grass! It's adorable!
BlueWizard, cruising Montreal? Um, why? You poor thing.
Not really. But I couldn't help staring at all the cute-but-snooty boys in Montreal. Must be something they put in the water.
Okay, this is depressing me. I can't find a suitable replacement for Max. HEEEEELP.
Did you want a Michael picture?
Yeah, I'm thinking so. But, being the picky person I am, I don't want just ANY Mikey picture. Hmph. So hard.
Dark hair, blond hair, or short hair?
I'm loving the new faux-hawk. Naw on the totally blonde. Dark hair not too bad.
Have you guys heard of "Join Me" - a 'collective' started by a guy in England that decided it would be fun to see if put an ad in the paper that said Join Me and told them to send a picture. It started as a joke but tons of people joined and he decided to turn it into a service organization and they just meet up all over the world and have fun and then try to do good deeds on Friday. I'm thinking the Bare crowd needs to follow the join me model. get together for fun - and Bare talk... and from time to time do a good deed in the name of Bare - help a youth organization or a gay organization out or something...
check out the web site at www.join-me.co.uk and see how they make it work
just a thought, given how big this thread has gotten and how many cool people are on it.
