I have to say, I was very excited tonight. I met the one and only Mandy P tonight at a celebration for Barney Greengrass.
Mandy is cool.
He was very gracious. He is a really nice guy! I am sorry but it was a thrill to meet him.
Alec Baldwin was there too. I still don't have the courage to talk to Alec but he was three feet from me.
You can actually see a few shots from the event on http://www.corinescorner.com

Yes. He told me that he will be in a show at the Culture Project and he is growing the beard for the role.
HE WAS A GEM. I was so excited to meet him. It was a thrill. The beard is not sexy but Mandy was charming.
He is my favorite singer so I am on a cloud!!!! He has Duncan Sheik's old facial hair.

Posted: 6/19/08 at 12:27amHe seems like a really charming and personable guy. I'd love to meet him. Not only is he a very accomplished stage actor but he created one of the most memorable film roles in the past 20 or so years.

Oh, I thought this was about Mandy Gonzalez.
Way to specify, Corine.

Whatever his personal antics may be, his voice is otherworldly. I love his voice so much that I can forgive him the beard.
He is so phenomenal in The Secret Garden and Sunday in the Park With George.
It must have been so exciting to meet him.

Posted: 6/19/08 at 1:27amHe is brilliant in so many ways. But he looked like Quest For Fire

Alec was talking to someone and I have a crush on Alec. It is hard for me to talk to people I have a crush on.
Even puffy, Alec is hot. I do know about his temper. Thankfully, there was a lot of air-conditioning there. He puts his fist through the wall from heat.
Mandy was very charming and I have heard he is not. He was really nice and it made my day! (I LOVE HIS VOICE AND HE SANG AT THE EVENT!!!!!!)

Posted: 6/19/08 at 10:23amOn stage he has something of a poor reputation as being somewhat self indulgent. Not unlike his FORBIDDEN BROADWAY parody, and then there was his behaviour in THE WILD PARTY both onstage and off.

Well, he was very nice at Barney Greengrass last night. And a reporter friend told me Alec was nice also.
Mandy must be happy when eating smoked fish.
Barney Greengrass is a fantastic place. I didn't eat. I spent all of my time chatting with the crowd.
