That's great! I've tried to add Alice, but fb won't let me. I've just recently spoken to Michele Mais, Anthony Rapp, and Jason Danieley.

Spoken to? Or do you mean send fan letters and receive a quick thank you note back?

Yeah, I've often thought about doing that, but it would seem creepy to me. I think personal letters are much nicer.

I think they all have different rules. Some "friend" fans, others do not. You are always welcome to send them a message to clarify. Most will respond graciously. They almost always respond to messages of kindness from fans.

I got a nice thank you from Susan Blackwell. I never really tried to Facebook message anyone else.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

IMO it depends. If it's a page that has a lot of "fan" friends, or a fanpage, or something of that nature, I think fan "notes" are expected, or at least should be. If it is someone's personal facebook then in my opinion, it is a little creepy to send a note, since if they wished to have more open contact with fans, they would be more public about it, I think.

Sending a letter to the stagedoor is a much more appropriate venue, in my opinion, for fanmail.

I want to be BFFs with:

Hunter Foster
Chris Sieber
Orfeh
Alice Ripley

They all seem like sane, humble, and rational people to me. I would love be their "friends"!

Tazber-You can meet Orfeh is public at the Broadway Flea Market on the 26th. She's supposed to be at one of the celebrity tables. I'm sure she'll want to be your best friend based on that.

And no, I'm not joking about her being there. That part is true.

Edit-She also is at the same table as Alice Riply. You can kill two birds with one stone.

I posted on Sutton Fosters wall and she deleted it. I had to keep posting it over and over again before she wrote back. She said "lol". I called my best friend and told her that I talked to Sutton and she didn't believe me and I screencapped our conversation an she was so jealous.

@Jordan
Jason Danieley just sent me a quick thank you, but I actually spoke on chat to Michele Mais for a little bit and Anthony and I talked about his upcoming concerts with Adam Pascal.

lololol! I saw that post Jordy! I thought you were very complimentary. Did you really expect to explain why her brother is such a douche though? Or were you just making conversation?

I was just trying to get her opinion. We had lunch together a few weeks ago (it was so cool. My mom and I were eating and looked over and THERE SHE WAS) and I wanted to bring it up but it didn't seem like a good time.

I occasionally see Leslie Kritzer online and I've wondered what would happen if I tried to talk to her via chat, but never actually intend on doing so.
