Posted: 3/1/06 at 1:27amCouldn't decide which board this goes on, so I posted on both! Is the area where the signing is taking place safe? I hate going into DC alone at night, I hate it.
What good is a life,
With no one to share,
The light of the moon,

Posted: 3/1/06 at 8:11amHey there! I'll be at the DC signing tonight. Website says its in Penn Quarter, as Feeling Electric mentions. Not sure whether that's a "safe" area at night, but I'm going with a buddy, so all should be well. Hope to see you there!

Hey, I saw you there FeelingElectric.
It was a good time. I enjoyed hearing Anthony read from his book, answer questions (though some were slightly inane), and sing SoL.
I could have done without the 200+ screaming pre-teens and teens, but they controlled themselves quite well, apart from a group of them singing an amazingly off key La Vie Boheme.
Glad to see, however, so much support for the book. Its a great read, and could potentially bring further enlightenment on the real messages in Rent.

That's the exact reason why I didn't go...didn't want to deal with all the twelve-year-olds going, "OMGRENTISMYLIFEANDIHAVESEENTHEMOVIESIXTIMESINTHEATERSBUTINEVERGOTTHECHANCETOSEEITONSTAGE"
There's a lot I am not certain of...

TheaterAddict7652, you could've just gone and mocked them in your head. That's what I did in SF.

Yeah, I mocked them in my head too. To Anthony Rapp's credit, he was very patient and professional- I was also impressed with his articulate answers to questions.
WickedlyPerfect- I was way near the back of the store near the window. I honestly did not expect this big of a turnout, and came from work. I should have probably gotten there earlier. Lucky for you to get front row, though!
