Weird that Gentlemen's Guide isn't having a table. I can't remember the last time the reigning Tony winner for Best Musical didn't have a table. And they haven't donated a signed poster to the auction, either. I wonder if they'll end up being at a table along with someone else.

Does anyone know why they're not using Shubert Alley at all? Is it under construction or something?

I suspect the alley will be used for the autograph/photo queue instead of setting it down 45th street. It will also be a nice overflow area for 44th st.

mikem- It's even more strange that Lisa O'Hare tweeted a picture and mentioned the flea market last month. Maybe the Jujamcyn table will have some GGLAM-related items for sale?

if they set it up like last year, the majority of the stuff is on 44th street, Shubert Alley was used for the auction and the photo and Autograph Table is on Juniors outside deck.

I live in the Bronx and I am trying to decide if I should take a cab home or just drive down. I am planning on buying frames from Triton, so it would be a lot for the train. Any thoughts? Anyone who drives - do you have any recommended parking garages? Are you able to go back to your car and drop stuff of in it?

The pre-bidding online has finished, and someone is apparently a huge Daniel Radcliffe fan, because someone bid $1555 on a poster and signed prop can of peas from Cripple of Inishman. Although I see online that someone bid $1588 for a signed Of Mice and Men poster. Those are both extremely high bids for signed posters. Has anyone seen such high bids before?

It looks like the auction is NOT in Shubert Alley this year for some reason. It doesn't look like they're using Shubert Alley at all (unless it's being used as overflow).

In terms of parking, it will probably be fairly expensive if you want to go back to your car and you can't find street parking. There are a couple of lots in the area that are self-park (meaning you can go back to your car after it's parked), but they are around $35 after the first 2 hours. How much would the cab be?

I think it depends on the garage. I think you can go back and forth at Port Authority since you park your car yourself. You would have to check with other places since I know there are a lot that take the car for you when you pull in. You should also check how much it will cost to park your car versus cabbing it. Parking can be pricy, depending where you go and how long you stay. Some garages have discount coupons as well.

Here is 1 company you can check out:

Cabs are kind of expensive to get back to my part of the Bronx - about $35 or $40 - and they almost always suck at getting me there. I have to give them turn-by-turn directions far too often. I was hoping to have a place where I could park and go back to the car, put stuff in the trunk, then go back out, since I'm planning on getting several Triton frames and there's no easy way of lugging them around all day. And I will be there ALL day, from about 9:30 until 7:30ish. Thanks for the Port Authority suggestion. Is it safe? Do they take credit cards? Thanks for any help.

I haven't been to the parking area at Port Authority in a few years, but always get the bus there. It's usually fine. You know, just lock up your vehicle and use common sense. Since you aren't staying really late, you will most likely be fine. I do think they take credit cards, but I would double check just to be sure.

If you r getting there that early, go up to the 50's and you should be able to find some FREE street parking.

So....

I'm curious how the auctions will go. Are the results generally published at a later date, or will there be some way to track what's going on live? Like Twitter or some other website?

I am planning to bring some playbills to donate tomorrow. If you are interested in any of them DM me and if I still have it it's yours.

bstoll, is that Idina Menzel's stage door signature to the left of her image on the If/Then Playbill? And who is the one on the top right on that same Playbill?

[frogs_fan85]

Posted: 9/20/14 at 11:28pm

I'm pretty sure that that is Anthony Rapp's signature to the left.

P.S. Any clue what the Tyne Daly table is?!

Does anyone know who's going to be at the Dramatists Guild table? Amanda Green tweeted she'll be there at 2pm, but I haven't heard about anyone else.

LOL. I'm sure I'll see you at some point tomorrow.

Has anyone else noticed that the weather fordcast has changed? It now says it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

"Has anyone else noticed that the weather fordcast has changed? It now says it is supposed to rain tomorrow."

Most of the rain isn't suppose to come till after sunset. If the rain is supposed to come in the day/afternoon, most sources say it is a 10%-30% chance.

I read it is supposed to drizzle before 10am, which is happening now.
