Posted: 4/23/05 at 10:18pmI have just returned from a) meeting my idol, Tim Curry, b)seeing Spamalot, and c)experiencing the show from seat A101. I'm too tired to tell the linear story of Friday and today, and, you know, really hyper at the same time, SO... if anyone cares I will eventually do that... Let me know. Or ask me stuff. *hugs Polaroid of self and Tim Curry and cast* WEE!
So let the party and the sounds rock on, I'm gonna shake it till the life has gone, gone, gone - rose tints my world and keeps me safe from my trouble and pain!

Posted: 4/23/05 at 11:09pmDid you have fun up there? You looked like you were nervous! I saw you by the stage door after the show and said hello but it was so crowded.

Posted: 4/23/05 at 11:46pmYes, an insane amount of fun. Did I? Ha... Just in awe of Tim, I think. I can barely remember what he looked like that close-up. I almost... blacked out, I guess. But I remember the sturdying presence of his arm on my back. Sorry I didn't hear you! T'was a great ending to a great show...

EEE! Oh, I was waiting for your report! Rocky Horror is love.
How was Hank Azaria? Was he...dashing?
How was David Hyde Pierce?
Oh, you are SO lucky. Go you!

Posted: 4/24/05 at 2:07amOh you are soo lucky. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that seat cost? And if you don't mind me asking, is that you in your icon?

Posted: 4/24/05 at 9:44amYeah, I was just about to say, glad it wasn't a B101 night!!! Sounds like quite the night!

I would kill for that seat. I had balcony...but it was still a blast.
You lucked out with A101. Now that they have multiple locations you're chances of being called weren't as great. Lucky you!

Sorry for the delay in getting back here!!! (After all that, I needed loads of sleep... and you know, reliving-style dreams) Ok.
Bal - Hank and David were great! They complimented my dress!!!
ShuQ - the seat was $201. Yes, that is me. 
bdwaygirl, mabel, starlight, and FOAnatic - Oh, I know!!! Thank goodness... Wee! Back in a second with all I've written on the experience! Hold on!

what a wonderful story.......and one you'll always remember. How cool for you!
I probably would have started singing 'Toucha, toucha, toucha, touch ment to be dirty......."
As I've mentioned before....Spamalot is the only thing that ever made me forget he WAS Rocky Horror

Sant, yes, they switch the location of the seat. Don't they have about four different seats now? My friend saw the show last week and it was C101.

I was there saturday too! You have no idea how I envied you. I was also immensley depressed when I found out Tim would not be out after the show. I got Hank, David, Christopher, and Michael to sign my playbill though which made me happy because I have serious hots for Hank Azaria. I got the shakes so bad when he came out the stage door.

Wow, quite a few BWWers came to the show I was "in"... *feels oddly shy* Yes, I was sad that Tim didn't come out, too... But it was very icky weather, and he's trying to protect his voice/health.
You know... if I ever do get on Broadway (besides that lovely, dream-like debut), as I am working to, they may be able to call Tim a prophet...

Posted: 4/25/05 at 6:47pmIf I may direct you attention to my fan photos, there lie pictures of Spamness! The only one missing is the one of me and the cast on stage, but that'll come in time, trust me. I just haven't had the time to scan it.

The last picture (which Im assuming is you and Tim) doesn't show up in a full version when you click on it, just FYI. And I'm amused a little because if I'm seeing it correctly, that's a friend of mine in the ride side of the shot
Great pictures though!
