I've noticed a bijillion negative message boards-They are so dull, man
Here is what is AMAZING
All of Rent
Broadway World Radio
The Fact that a bunch of Bare is avaliable for free and legal and it is an amazing musica-er 'pop opera'
Sporks
A Frog Prince, because you think the songs are metaphorical (as 'Luck be a Lady') at first and then you find out they are literal and it is amazingly funny
TKTS
Sneaking into the box seats at Rent and everything that are always empty
Chanticos from Starbucks
Avenue Q
William Finn
The Dentist song from LSoH

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

What is the point of this, you ask, In Lights? (Yes, i know I am misinterpreting your name, but still)
Everyone should add their input here, so everyone can know what is amazing. Think about te good moments of things you hate, even. This will be an exercise in positivity and general happiness and being listed can be an award of exellence in musical nerds lovin' you!
And may I add Mary Sunshine in the stage version of Chicago? OOooh and Liza Minelli as Sallie in Cabaret!

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Sporkie, are you my alter ego?
Sporks are mine. Well, THE spork is Emcee's, but you know.

Well, then you should have claimed it more aggresively. I am now Sporkie. I have been obsessed with the following things since I was in third grade
Sporks
42 (The number of life, the universe and everything plus the classic broadway street...it doesn't get much better than that)
Noses (Giggles uncontrolably)
Custard-i don't know why, man...just hail the custard.
Anyway, these are the four things that I consider mine in this world, in the deepest of senses

Posted: 3/21/05 at 11:10pmI'll give you that. Sporks ARE awesome, though I never much cared for them until last summer.

Did I just witness a small fight over sporks?
The Dentist Song is most certainly NOT awesome.
But I'll agree with everything else. And it was, indeed, a nice refreshing post. Bravo!
