... that run-on made me dizzy. But that's ok, you're just excited.
I found a clip of the 2nd act of Wicked with Taye in it, and I'm very excited. It's funny to see Kristin glowing next to him. At least Idina is green, so she doesn't glow.
And to jump back to Project Runway, I think Santino is talented but irritating. However, I doubt he's as bad as the editing makes him seem. I think the top 3 ought to be Daniel V., Santino (if he doesn't get himself kicked off), and Nick. However, I think Zulema is pretty good. Any other guesses/wishes?

Did Anthony ever respond to your PMs. I wrote quite a long one to him after seeing Rent just to tell him how truly impressed I was with the film, and with him as an actor and role model. Maybe I went on too long, but it would have been nice to have received even a few lines of acknowledgment.

I'm in a freakishly good mood today, despite feeling like crap because I'm sick. I just got tickets to see RENT on March 12th! I got great seats, too. Front mezz, just how I like it. Center, too.

March can't come any sooner!

Can you imagine how many PMs Anthony receives daily? Perhaps Anthony was away for the holidays - you should just give him some time.

Also, for everyone who was freaking out about a signing in Chicago, LOOK:

2/8, Barbara's Bookstore (Oak Park) - reading/signing at 7:30 PM. Anthony will also sing two songs from RENT

So, what lesson have we learned from this? Answer: to relax!

On that topic, anyone going to the San Fransisco signing? I'm planning on it, but I have a few questions to ask. Like, which bus/train station should I arrive in? I have a bunch more questions, actually. Could any San Fransiscans pm me? I promise I'll respond- I'm not as PM'd as Anth (although I'm certainly more popular. )

Hey all!

Does anyone know where I can get a schedule or something as to where Anthony will be going to signings? I need to know if he will be anywhere in the midwest (or really anywhere in the country that's not on a coast)... maybe? If anyone knows the schedule or anything about this please pm me, it would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks so much for the info! I seriously driving to Chicago and getting to the store in the early hours of the morning. No joke. It's only a 9 hour car drive. It's worth every mile! :)

Now that Chicago's been added, maybe they'll do Boston.

Wow. I could concievably go to three of those (Dallas, Phili, and, of course, NY) since it's the vacation, but I'm not *quite* that insane. Plus, my mom won't let me, she sort of yelled when I casually suggested it

And I guess the fact that he's singing two songs means that he can't be in too much of a rush, so we can take pictures. I'm so getting there like five hours early, because a) he might come early and I might get to talk to him, b) he might sing before 7:00, when it says the book-signing starts, and c) it's Barnes & Noble! Even if nothing happens beforehand, I can't possibly be bored.

Oh, and btw people, I watched Twister and didn't see Anthony at all! Can someone specifically tell me what scene he's in?

In Twister, Anthony's in the scene when they're at the restaurant/diner place and the bad guy (don't remember his name) is showing everyone their new 'thing' (don't remember what it's called--the thing that was like Dorothy). Anthony's in the background somewhere there. Sorry for being vague, I watched it back in December, and I guess my mind decided to take an extra long vacation.

I'll get there early. I know my dad (and my friend who I'm taking with me) won't mind because a.)My dad doesn't like to rush to get to things and b.) It's a book store. I know we'll be able to pass the time.

Oh, the resturaunt scene! Thanks! I tried to watch *very* carefully for scenes that had a lot of extras, but most of those included the camera going haywire because the tornado was hitting. So, it was kind of hard. Does he have any lines?

And xoxRogue, which booksigning are you going to?

Are we thinking of the same restaurant scene? Camera going haywire? There wasn't a tornade hitting in that scene. It's kinda at the beginning, and the 'good guys' and 'bad guys' were almost going to fight. He's in the way back. No lines in that part.
He has a line or two later on, though, but he's not visible (it's over the radio).

I watched that movie (Twister) a really long time ago when I was sick, and I thought it was as boring as hell, probably because I was like ten. Of course that was because I recognized the screen godliness that is Anthony Rapp. I really want to see it again so I can see him in it. Seems that he's been in lots of movies I saw when I was younger, like Adventures in Babysitting! That was totally my favorite movie when I was six. I hadn't seen it since then, but then I rented it lat weekend when I had to babysit, and it totally rocks. All I remembered was the scene where they're at the garage. My favorite line is, when asked where they're going, Darryl replies merrily, "To hell! Kind of exciting, don't cha think?"

Yeah, I know the tornado wasn't in that scene, catharsis. I just meant that I usually tried to look for him in scenes with a lot of extras, like in the outdoor movie theater scene. I forgot to look for him in the restaurant scene- sorry I didn't make that clear.

And what songs do you think he's singing? I think Halloween is definitely going to be one, but, since Halloween is his only solo, he'd have to sing someone else's part. Oooh, maybe he'll do Without You! *tries unsuccessfully not to get too excited*

I think that's the most likely song combo, and he has sung Without You in the past.
