BT - I wish I were doing that instead of being here at work, just can't do that this week. It was so nice out this morning though. I did enjoy BARE on my IPod while commuting on the metro at least
Faile -
My only problem with listening to bare on the metro on the ipod is that I always want to sing along... But as you well know, people in DC are not so tolerant of that. In NYC, I suppose you could get away with it...!

BT - I'm pretty good about not singing along but sometimes I slip up. I am constantly tapping my foot or grooving to the beat. As for people on the metro, who cares what they think. People who talk on the phone in the metro are the ones who drive me crazy, only because they feel the need to shout into their phone.

Thanks.... I created the screen name in 1995 and haven't changed it since...

I love you even more because you know that reference!
BT it probably is more acceptable to sing out loud here than in DC, though I'm sure the urge to cry over something you're listening to in public is frowned on, no matter what city you're in. For that reason alone I rarely ever get past Pilgrim's Hands on my commute before I start skipping ahead to some other Michael song.
Nah, I get weepy on the train all the time... Pilgrim's hands always works for me. It stops people from coming up to me...

Luckily my commute only gets me through the first act so no worries about crying, although I come close during Ever After.

I find the headphones alone usually keep from coming up to me. But I am usually so engrossed in my music or a book that I don't notice anyone on the metro.

My death glare usually takes care of that very nicely.
When the voices get really high/loud at the end of One, I always have to make a mad dash to lower the volume because I'm sure the sound is hissing out at whomever is sitting next to me. I've gotten some funny looks over that.

MadeofGold has mentioned that glare...I don't think I saw it when I met you in NYC, but I can imagine it & know I wouldn't want to be on the other side of it!! **deleting the scary smile because it is way too freaky looking**

A death glare is a handy weapon - but it is hard to muster one listening to such great music... I caught myself singing along to Are You There the other day - my coworkers gave me funny looks. At least I wasn't singing 911 Emergency!

My CD-Rom drive is still on the fritz here at work so I can't just stick a CD in and listen, and I can't put my headphones on, so no danger of anyone catching me singing. Though that is something I can control. I have no tempation to sing in public mostly because I don't even want to hear my voice, which can't carry a note if it was strapped to my throat with duct tape, much less subject anyone else to it.
What does get me funny looks at work, however, is reading these boards. I'm terrible at containing laughter and I do a lot of that while reading.

Ditto and I have a loud laugh which is bad since my boss is across the hall...

Will you be at opening night?

Favorite scene?
Hard to say as I haven't seen the show, but I assume I'm going to love "Pilgrim's Hands" and "Queen Mab" from what I've heard. I WILL cry from "Cross" to the end, those scenes are the most powerful to me.
Favorite line or lyric?
I have so many...
"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've loved you from the start, and if you hold that close to you, we'll never be apart"
"Once upon a time, I first held your hand and love was not a crime. In a private world where you said "dont look down" and then I did and now you're lost above me. So much left to say, trapped alone here with my best laid plans astray. Standing scared outside a cold church, soul search, seeking some lost answer from a god who loves me. Can I turn to You in my need? Would You take me back or watch me bleed? Are You there, there at all? And as i fall from the person that I tried to be, could You really love someone like me? Once upon a time all I needed was your hand in mine, then I lost my way and now I know not what I do, I bow my head and turn to You."
"All I ever want is there in your eyes. They tell me I’m alright and I realize I always knew. We whisper words when we’re alone at night, I want to hear them in the morning light. 'Cause with love on our side, maybe we’d be alright. Beneath a million stars there’s no need to pretend, I want to be with you. I think its time that we end the best kept secret."
Favorite Mikey line: "Did you know how much he loved? Did you know how much he cared? But lost in the teaching was a boy, so all alone and scared. Father we were so in love, and that's what I find so odd. Our love was pure and nothing else brought me closer to God."
I can add many more lyrics, but I'll spare the length of this post.
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 would love to sit down with Michael and ask him about the character of Peter. How he relates, what motivation he brings, what compelled him to take on the role, and etc. I'd have to ask him about the vocal part of it, and just his voice/training overall. I'd probably be babbling jibberish the whole time anyway, and I'd be praising his every word...but...
If you HAD to change one thing in Bare as is what would it be?
Complete closure for every single character, develop relationships a little more, Peter/Jason love scene (sex accompanied by a beautiful romantic duet preferably )
If you could make one thing stay the same what would it be?
"Bare," "See Me," "Best Kept Secret," "Cross" to the end.
Whoa that's a long post...
I swear to God that one of these days I'm not going to be plagued with insomnia. Ugh. Trisky, please slip an Ambien into my drink tonight. Thanks! :)

I am so with you hon. I honestly don't think I've ever listened to Act 2 all the way through on public transportation. And I'm of the "Listen to headphones and read a book on the subway so random guys don't come up to me school" as well!
Hey TheGAIsSilent: Love the AIM name.....and Tyler C
OMG Newcomer, I love you. The question is did you love him when he was just Tyler B? I just outed myself as GH fan!
If yes where?
Row A with "My Two Wives" & Starlyricist
Newcomer, polygamy is so underrated! I'm so glad to be in your little harem you stud. :)
If yes where?
Row B, hopefully behind Trisky & MoG so I can poke them at the end of Act I
Faile, you may need to poke me just to make sure I survive John in his briefs. O_O
MOG!!! You didnt love me already!?!?!?!?
Oh hon, you KNOW I love you as is evident in my PMS!
BlueWizard, the logo contest is a good idea. Unfortunately there are four year olds in the world with better Photoshop skills than I so I don't think I'll be able to participate in that one. :P
And to my 2Day4U I'll be sending the signal soon. Check the sky!

I'm right there with you AG!! when I get around to figuring out how to post pictures and other things I've seen Trisky & MoG do, maybe mine will get more interesting...maybe, but not likely...
Faile, you may need to poke me just to make sure I survive John in his briefs. O_O
That was my thought. Make sure you remember to breathe. Should I bring a rope to tie you down so you don't jump up on stage and attack Jenna so you can take her place
well it is great to be able to know a little more about the people behind the icons!! glad everyone shared:)
P.S. MadeofGold I'm here!!:P

Please don't mention me, John and ropes all at once. It just...please don't.
Oh no - I can see it now - the front page of broadwayworld.com on October 14 - a picture of MoG handcuffed and being escorted from the stage while John is tied down to the set. You go girl! I'll pay your bail.

LOL! Poor John. He must be like, of all the people I get to love me, I get MadeofGold?!
And thanks for the offer of bail hon. God knows Trisky would let my ass rot in jail. :P
And btw, your Paul Hamm icon is so cute!

I think the wrong person is sending out the signal! HAHAHA
MoG, I didn't see it!!! I'm jealous of everyone in NJ, tho...I'll keep my eye out all night! You're the bestest fake girlfriend ever. Thanks for the.....
John would be lucky to have you, MoG. And yes, I'm sure Trisk would be on stage untying him while you were being lead off to the slammer... *wink*
