2Day, you are such a party pooper!

Mesmerized, that's a great idea. I'm going to skip the first part though if you don't mind. I don't really feel comfortable giving out all of that info on a public board.

But here are my answers for the Bare related questions:

Favorite Bare cast member?

So tough. I'm still going to say John Hill but Michael is just so amazing!

Bare character you most relate to?

Probably Peter just because I know what it's like to feel so much for somebody and then be disappointed by them.

Bare character you relate to the least?

Lucas! :)

# of times you have seen Bare?

Just once.

Will you be at opening night?

Opening night preview for sure, yo.

If yes where?

Row A next to Trisky, Starlyricist and Newcomer. :)

Favorite scene?

So many but the one that gets to me the most is Jason/The Priest during "Cross" or "Bare" and Jason's admission of love.

Favorite line or lyric?

"Stay in this moment where secrets reveal. Here in a world where there's safety in falsehood, I have discovered the one thing that's real. That I love you and I loved you from the start. And if you hold that close to you, we'll never be apart..."

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom?

John Hill. Will you marry me? Oh wait, I did say that to him already!

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be?

A more structured and well developed Peter and Jason romance.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be?

"Best Kept Secret" and "Bare"

Favorite Bare cast member?
Michael Arden

Bare character you most relate to?
Nadia

Bare character you relate to the least?
Ivy

# of times you have seen Bare?
One, but soon to be three, well not soon enough!!

Will you be at opening night?
OF COURSE, wouldn’t miss it for the world!!

If yes where?
Row B on the left, next to Mesmerized24601

Favorite scene?
Queen Mab

Favorite line or lyric?
Oh my god there are sooo many, but if I had to choose, I guess it would be:

“Where confusion is a crime, so you fill your life with sound, and if you dance like hell, you hope you’ll never touch the ground, what happens when the music stops?”

If you could sit down with someone from bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom?
Michael Arden, I would ask him how he became involved with Bare, I don’t know if he has ever mentioned it, but I always wonder???

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be?
Although I really like both 911 Emergency and God Don’t Make No Trash, and I think they are both very important for the show, I would maybe like to somehow see them combined, I think that they both send sort of the same message.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be?
EVERAFTER!!!

Bluewizard, I am really LOVIN' the new icon, of course I am sure this is not a big surprise to anyone, but I just had to share!!!

Thanks! It's one of my all-time favourite pictures of Michael. He is the very definition of "adorable" in the picture. I love how his eyes sparkle and squint when he turns on that radiant smile of his! I have to say, I like his dark hair best. And I have a thing for guys in light-blue shirts.

Michael looks so loveable, he's definitely someone I'd take home to meet the parents.

Posted: 9/1/04 at 10:49pm

Forgot to mention that I love Tori, too! "Winter" and "Hey Jupiter" are such gorgeous songs.

Moving on from the Michael lovin', I'm gonna play the poll-game too:

Favorite Bare cast member?
- Michael Arden, of course!

Bare character you most relate to?
- Peter. I think the character is written that way.

Bare character you relate to the least?
- Ivy. I've never been the slut. I guess there's still time for that, though.

# of times you have seen Bare?
- Two times!

Will you be at opening night?
- Sadly, no. I hope you all have an amazing time, though.

Favorite scene?
- That little scene after Wonderland and before Quiet Night At Home, where Peter borrows Jason's green shirt.

Favorite line or lyric?
- Hmmm, hard one. "Where was the boy who said I was his soulmate? Where was the boy I believed? We climbed an escape grown from seeds that you planted; you slew all my giants ignoring your own. And now that they haunt you, I'm left with my courage, alone."

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom?

- I'd ask Michael, "What's your idea of a perfect date, and are you free Friday night?"

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be?

- I'd make the whole Ivy-faling-for-Jason thing more believable, or take it out altogether.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be?

- Only one thing? I guess the "See Me" scene, which is perfect as is.

That was fun!

Favorite Bare cast member? John Hill

Bare character you most relate to? Peter and Nadia

Bare character you relate to the least? Matt

# of times you have seen Bare? none

Will you be at opening night? I wish

Favorite scene? since I haven't seen the show, I can't really say, but I imagine it would be whichever one has Mr. Hill in his 2xists (seriously, though, I can't really pick a scene, but my favorite songs are Role of a Lifetime and Are You There?)

Favorite line or lyric?
Ivy: Nadia, I checked, and at no point does the Nurse slap Juliet.
(various assorted and sundry lines)
Nadia : I just really think I should slap her.

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom? *ahem* John Hill...and I'd probably be too busy drooling to actually ask him anything.

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be? again, haven't seen the show, but it just seems like the Priest needs to have a greater presence in the show...and ,of course, a love scene between John Hill and me...I mean, Peter and Jason

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be? John Hill + 2xists, now and forever

Bare character you most relate to? Peter or Nadia

Bare character you relate to the least? Ivy i guess

# of times you have seen Bare? 0 (grrrrrr...it's so pathetic..i just don't have a way to get there)

Will you be at opening night? no...*sits in a corner and cries*

If yes where?

Favorite scene? ummm..since i haven't seen it i'll say that my favorite numbers (from the sampler) are : Are You There, See Me, Role of a Lifetime, All Grown Up...ahhh i love them all!!!!!!!!!! i can't pick!

Favorite line or lyric? "am i here to damn you or to help you navigate this maze, where confusion is a crime, so you fill your life with sound and if you dance like hell you hope you'll never touch the ground. what happens when the music stops?"

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom? I'd talk with Michael and ask him to sing to me...*sigh*...i want to melt just thinking about it. ...or i'd ask him how to get over stage fright. i do anything in front of an audience except for sing...i freak out when i have to sing in front of people. which is really stupid b/c that's my favorite thing to do besides acting...grrrrrr

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be? nothing

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be? everything

Posted: 9/1/04 at 11:50pm

Man crazy updates! Fun game.

but first...blue my director isnt hiding it but she isnt focusing on it rather antonio's mere attraction to find a companion in sebastian. Which begins, for us anyways, as a simple tactic for a smuggle, and then progresses more to a relationship in the second scene when sebastian finally opens up to him. Then of course when Antonio rescues cesario(viola) thinking it is sebastian it is once again touched on. She also type cast a tad for both of these roles. hahaha! But yeah its fun.

AND NOW FOR THE FUN!
Favorite Bare cast member? Michael Arden

Bare character you most relate to? Peter, for sure.

Bare character you relate to the least? Ivy, I aint neva gon be pregnant! hahaha. No. really I think its lucas cause Ive always been against drugs and setting examples and good grades and things.

# of times you have seen Bare? umm legally? none. =)

Will you be at opening night? shortly after

Favorite scene? wonderland is of course hilarious and I cant get enough of it, but I really loooooove the queen mab/bare scene i know different but sequentially similar and i love them so much. so sad.

Favorite line or lyric? Oh man. You cant do this! I love the line keep on dying, dying to fit in. just because it is so universal. But as far as delivery goes I could listen to john hill sing "that I love you and I've loved you from the start..." over and over.

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom? Man, too hard! I think I really admire damon and jon for being so young and writing such an amazing show. But I have to go with michael just because, well come on. And i have no idea what i would ask him.

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be? I really dislike, love dad. I mean its fine but it just isnt on the same level as the rest of the show.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be? The truth behind the lyrics. Not one word in that show is sang, delievered or acted without such truth to it that I find it hard to understand how people can not see more than a "gay story." there is so much more there. its just unbelievable. LOOOOVE IT!

Favorite Bare cast member?

Michael Arden followed closely by Natalie Joy Johnson.

Bare character you most relate to?

Nadia's insecurities and cynicism (during "Spring", MoG and the other person we were with both turned to me with a look of recognition that someone had been spying on my life) and Peter's goofball moments and heartbreak, being a momma's boy (or girl in my case) whose momma still knows so little about you.

Bare character you relate to the least?

Ivy.

# of times you have seen Bare?

Once, in person.

Will you be at opening night?

Was there any doubt?

If yes where?

Hiding under the seats in Row A and surrounded by MoG, Newcomer, starlyricist and possibly some other friends.

Favorite scene?

Best Kept Secret and Bare.

Favorite line or lyric?

"And if you dance like hell, you'll never hit the ground. What happens when the music stops? In the silence will he stay. One day he'll realize that these feelings aren't going away. So we drive ourselves insane, spinning circles in our souls and once again reprise our roles."

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom?

Jon Hartmere and I I'd ask him if he was in the market for a co-lyricist. Hee!

More seriously, I'd probably like to sit down with either Kristin Hanngi or Damon and just ask them what they feel they've done well and what they haven't done well that needs some work done?

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be?

Give Peter/Jason a respite that's not all angst and surrounded by other people.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be?

The line in You & I "Well think about tonight, when everything is right, we'll shut off all the lights and cuddle in bed". It's so fuzzy wuzzy cutesy wootsie that it actually sort of makes me cringe, but when I get past the cringing I have a nice, mental picture of them doing just that in my mind that leaves me content to think about.

Speaking of which, what happened to that logo/poster contest? I think it's a great idea of we try to create our own BARE logo. (I think a graphic-designed logo would be amazing, so I'd suggest that we avoid using images of the cast or production.)

Will you be at opening night? Damn skippy!

Favorite scene? Cross...it rips me apart every time.

Favorite line or lyric? "Father we were so in love, and that's what I find so odd, our love pure and nothing else brought me closer to God..."

If you could sit down with someone from Bare (cast or creative team) and have their undivided attention what one thing would you ask and to whom? AHHHHH. I've already picked Damon's brain, so I would have to say Jon...as a lyricist I would really just to just sit with him and pick his brain about how he does what he does.

If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be? Epiphany. I always felt that the beginning of the show needed to be changed.

If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be? Urgh, the cast! I know we've lost Sasha and Romelda and Isaac, but to me, 'bare' will always be associated with Mikey, John, Natalie, Aaron and Jenna.
