I bought Idina Menzel a "Wizard of Oz" Christmas ordament of the Wicked Witch of the West melting. I thought it was the coolest thing. I even bought one for myself!

Posted: 2/28/05 at 7:32pmI haven't, but thought about getting something small and cool for Sutton like a fan book of me and my friends about how we think she's great. And I'm gonna make a thing for Joanna Gleason and Sherie Rene when I see DRS they rock my world!

Princeton you're a hoot! Maybe I'll give some random chorus member my number. That might be a little extreme. LoL

Flowers are the extent of it basically. For one show (Cavalia...not broadway but an amazing show nonetheless), I brought one of the performers a boquet of flowers and I actually got to go up and give them to her during curtain call. She seemed very flattered which made me glad I bought them for her.

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:22pmI used to collect Disney pins and I read that Kerry Butler did too, so I included a couple of princess pins with my fan letter to her.

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:32pmI had a hard time wrestling with this idea in the fall. I wanted to give someone a little "going away" gift, and I just had no idea what to get. Not really the kind of guy you could give flowers to, even though that's easy.

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:36pmOther than flowers to a small number of female performers, the only thing I have ever given someone was a small hand written note on a blank note card. I enclosed a picture of the two of us, and actually, I think he *did* read it.

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:36pmI'd have given this *someone* a watch. Maybe then they can get to places on time!
