Nobiz -- where in Illinois do you live?

I've talked about the age stuff elsewhere, but in regard to the most recent question, I hope that the fact that we're more mature will only allow us to dig deeper into our characters... But I think we'll be able to summon up all of the requisite energy and passion and drive and everything.

Tiff -- what exactly do you do in yoru criminology job? And how *do* you have time for this board?

broadwayguy2 feels that certan things that have been said were out of line and unneccessary.

Type_A_Tiff sheds an insincere tear for broadwayguy2, hypocrisy, and for the overuse of third person references.

Anthony,I'm 14 years old, now do you think it would be smart to tell everyone where I live, especially on a crazy message board like this?

[Broadway Matt]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 5:34am

the name is Matt, and I'm a strapping young lad of 21. I'm currently living in lower Manhattan, having grown up in the San Jose area of CA and transferred here from UC San Diego. I'm finishing up a degree at Marymount Manhattan- major in Theatre Management, minor in Theatre Education. And, as of yesterday, I'm on house staff at Dodger Stages. I think that covers it

Nobiz -- sorry about that, wasn't thinking. I was just curious, being a fellow person from Illinois and all.

Matt -- what's happening at Dodger Stage now that Bare was cancelled?

Tiff -- has this been a longstanding feud with Bwayguy's use of the third person, or am I walking into a new battle?

anthony! omg, don't be sorry, I'll just pm you.

"Tiff -- what exactly do you do in yoru criminology job? And how *do* you have time for this board?"

Criminology's fairly comprehensive. I've had to study and shadow on a few things, like autopsies, the courts, visit prisons, parole hearings, forensic psychology, etc. (Hence my excitement at you appearing on L&O:SVU - the only thing I spend more time doing that being on this message board is watching all my crime shows religiously and picking them apart.)

As for spending so much time on this board...I credit an ability to function on no sleep, a small laptop, wireless internet, and the blessings of having a counter job at work. Next time you're going through immigration at the airport and the officer is questioning you while staring intently at the computer screen, $20 says he doesn't give a damn what you're saying.

"has this been a longstanding feud with Bwayguy's use of the third person, or am I walking into a new battle?"

New battle, somewhat new war. Hopefully short lived if Joey will knock it off and talk like normal people do.

It's 5am right now in TX.. there is no such thing as normal at 5am.

[Type_A_Tiff]

I thought you were going to say "there is no such thing as normal in Texas". heh. No offense, but your current leader hailing from the Lone Star state has not cast you guys in a favorable light in Canada.

man, I leave to get a rice plate at 6 AM and I miss so much! with BARE pretty much confirmed as a no go, that leaves 1 of the large spaces open. there are shows in all 4 of the others, with the newest one coming in being Modern Orthodox with Jason Biggs and I believe, Molly Ringwald. I know there is something set to take BARE's theatre for a 6-week run but I haven't been told what it is. it's a great space, so hopefully it'll be put to good use. the only other Dodger news I have is that they're getting their liquor license on Monday.

Tiff -- do you think that SVU is accurate? CSI? Curious about that. My mom was a nurse, and she was always dismayed at shows like ER getting praise for their depiction of "reality."

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 5:59am

I was born in Texas, but I am not a Texan by ANY means. No one who meets me believes that i was born and raised in Texas. Bush is an ass and his recent gay marriage comments piss me off even more

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:08am

which ones? the ones where he backtracked on his original statements and tried to come off more moderate while still saying that he's only willing to budge so far as to accept "civil unions", or the other republican commercials that attack democratic candidates on the sole basis of their pro-stance on gay marriage? both are sickening, and i say this as a heterosexual canadian gal. (move up here! you guys can get married and reap all the benefits!) seriously guys, PLEASE vote towards shaving off your Bush, because I actually like it when our countries yet along, and right now our liberal government is not too keen on your current leader.

::end soapbox::

Anthony, as for what I feel about shows like CSI and SVU...are they accurate? My short answer is no. My long answer will come tomorrow after I've gotten some sleep. I've got a diagnostic LSAT test to write in about 5 hours and I'm in a bit of trouble now. Only problem is actually prying myself off this board.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:12am

Mr. Rapp - just been reading through your entrance to the boards here - good for you for being willing to share.

We just saw Little Shop at the Ahmanson at the beginning of the month, and both really enjoyed your performance. Good luck to you in your future endeavors

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:13am

all of his gay remarks piss me off, though his pandering Civil Union speak drove me even farther over the edge.

my election day saying ::

*Shave your Bush
*Don't play with your Dick
*Stop massaging your Colin



I highly enjoy CSI and SVU shows, but I feel that people need to learn the difference between fiction and fact because people can take principals from those shows to heart and it can hinder criminal court cases.

"(move up here! you guys can get married and reap all the benefits!)"

LOL Tiff. Gay men need to stay here in the U.S. so that they can keep fighting the battle against prejudice until they win. (and it's only a matter of time until it's won; just think that seven years ago, it was shocking to have a gay lead character on a sitcom and not abnormal for the local NBC News in Chicago to feature a special report on "ten signs that your child may be gay"... who knows how things will be seven years from now when Bush will have been out of office for at least three years)

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:22am

No defeatist tone, Evelyn! You mean what will happen after Bush has been out of office for the last seven years, don't you?

[Whiteboy Spice]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:26am

AMEN, Tiff!!!

Evelyn -- tell me about yourself. The others are doing it, so why not you?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 6:29am

Alright folks, I've gotta hit the sack now. I haven't slept for almost 48 hours now and I'm feeling like Al Pacino in "Insomnia." Good talking to you guys. Even you, BwayGuy2. Type_A_Tiff bids you adieu.

Have some good shows today, Anthony.

G'night!

I want to think that the election can go either way so that when Kerry wins, I can jump through the ceiling out of the most genuine sense of relief possible (did I just contradict myself?). But on the topic of same-sex marriage -- I'm assuming that Kerry really supports it, rather than civil unions alone, but is just being cautious about saying so until he's actually elected. His daughter Vanessa has a wonderful influence over him.

What can I say about myself? I'm a 20-year-old senior at Northwestern University's School of Communication (formerly School of Speech). By June of 2005, I will have completed an interdisciplinary major between the Film, Theater and Communication Studies departments, which means that I've been able to take some awesome Music Theater courses for major credit in addition to courses like African-American Rhetoric and Independent Film that attract people who tend to express a certain degree of contempt for musicals. The fall should either find me pursuing a PhD in Chicago, New York or San Francisco, or living in my hometown of Chicago while working and pursuing a Master's at the School of the Art Institute part time. My favorite musicals are Chicago, Ragtime, Rent, The Wizard of Oz, The Last Five Years, The Threepenny Opera and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but I'm known around these parts as "Ragtime's biggest fan." My reaction to EL Doctorow coming to campus is comparable to the way that many of you react to meeting some of the people currently starring in Rent on Broadway. A touring company also performed Ragtime for "several weeks" on the same plot of land as my dorm a couple of years ago (literally a ten-second walk away). The moment I approached the theater with my friend of eight years -- who, btw, has turned me into an even bigger Renthead than her -- I couldn't speak because I was just that moved by what I was about to see. Good theater will do that to you. Same with good movies; I almost went into cardiac arrest watching Chicago, and I expect to have the same experience watching Rent. Contrary to what any other posts might indicate with regard to my concerns about seeing more than a couple of people reprise their stage roles, I'm still probably more excited about this film than anyone else here.

Oh, and I'm actually a "he" rather than a "she," and to top that off, I'm a "he" who likes "hes" and "shes" and therefore supports marriage rights for all! (or civil unions for all; as long as we're on equal footing)

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 10/30/04 at 7:05am

yes, I like that Kerry's daughter has an influence
