After his appearance at the Wang he spoke at my school. Never did I imagine that he would be such an excellent speaker, so much pride and passion. After he read, he took some questions, sang Seasons of Love, and then took the time to sign copies of his book (or anything else people brought with them.) I had him sign my invitation to the Rent benefit, and he asked me if I was going. I told him I was working on the financial aspect, and that if it were at all possible that I would be there. He took his time to get through the line, not making anyone feel rushed. I respected the man a ton before I met him, and now, if possible, I respect him even more. Truly a great guy.
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!
