It was really good... Well I've watched the documentary and the featurettes... Not the entire performance (yet)...

The documentary was really good... It was nice that they started with Rodney Hicks and Gwen Stewart (interesting to know that Rodney was 21 when Rent opened.... not that much older than me really)... Seeing all the backstage stuff was really interesting... And the production manager taking down all of the pictures on the walls. That and when they filmed there was no audience present... I actually believed that the applause and cheers were real... I know I am still slightly naive, but wow... Adam Kantor saying that he was in fifth grade when Rent opened made me feel really old... But then Will Chase is like 15 years older than him, so I didn't feel so bad :P It was funny when Eden Espinosa was teasing Adam saying that he wasn't old enough to know who Punky Brewster was.... That's who she reminds me of quite frankly, that and her saying that he hadn't cried that whole week (the documentary was filmed during the last week of the show). It was funny Rodney saying that Michael Grief was still giving them notes even on the second last Sunday... That and the original cast members and former cast members who were on camera... Jamie Lee Kircshner (I don't think I spelled that right) and Luther Creek (saying that he was a former Roger... ahem....), and the others. It was nice that they filmed the original cast members in the wing, just before the end of the show... Wilson Jermain Heredia was a little out of tune though... Kinda strange that Anthony Rapp wasn't standing with that group though... When they came on stage for the encore, he came from the opposite direction... I also didn't realize that Tracie Thoms ran right into Jesse L. Martin's arms right when the encore was finished...

Anyway.... It was very good.... I just need to watch the rest of the performance now... I didn't start watching the DVD till midnight though, so hopefully understandable :P Oh and the guy that ran the lotto crying was really sweet, when it hit him that it was the final one. Oh and then Adam finally did break down when they walked offstage... And they kept the music going over the footage of them starting to take down the set...

I wonder what the Nederlander looks like now? Have previews started for Guys and Dolls yet? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

I'll hide these behind here... )

I saw the show on Labour Day Weekend '06. Tim Howar, Chris Hanke (even though Matt Caplan is listed in the playbill I have), Jamie Lee Kirschner, Frenchie Davis et al. NYC was getting hit by the tailend of a hurricane that day too. Not that much different than right now...


Good times :o)

Wow... I went from the perfect vacation package to the hotel won't book a room for less than 3 nights... In less than 24 hours no less...

I just need to let this one go...

Need to go to bed soon too... Got up at 5am and watched an interview with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau on TCM, and stayed up cause I had to be at work for 7:30...

Just one more day and then two days off... YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!


That icon reminds me that I have a few Brian ones that I want to upload...



Edit: Is it bad that I actually want someone to make icons from the camera phone pictures of Randy?
frankiecat: (Brian "meh")
I would just be ignored...

Anyone wanna go to New York City? On Friday???















































I didn't think so :o(
frankiecat: (Piglet "fretting")
Tell me that I can't afford to go to New York City, that it's too expensive... Blah, blah, blah...

Something along those lines. I told my mother not to and for once she's doing what I asked...

I just....

Did I mention that I can book a ticket to Rent through the travel website?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so...

I had pretty much decided to not spend 1000.00+ dollars I do not have to see Adam and Anthony in Rent... The price jumped almost 300.00 dollars in one night, but now it's almost dropped that much... Not to mention that the Canadian dollar and American dollar are almost even right now...

I just had resigned myself to not going, planned to get a haircut on Friday, go to Buffalo on Monday... I know I shouldn't make a snap decision... I just...

Wow...

Edit: Still a good deal to NYC... Even found a cheap way to get to the hotel and then the airport... grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Older today....

Leaving for Ottawa in the morning...

Don't really want to say what happened to New York...
frankiecat: (Pooh "scared")
I have found a trip package for New York, I have asked my Mom if she can drop me off and pick up at the airport, I have a hotel in mind that is in Times Square... Have I booked the trip? NO!

God! You know what I'm scared of now? Going from and to the airport (La Guardia)... That and standing outside at 11pm in New York! In a huge crowd of people no less! Blocks from my hotel!...

Damnit I am booking the trip tomorrow. This could do it for me in terms of seeing the show live, and it would be one heck of a way to wrap it up... Not to mention a great birthday present...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...................

Or I could see Randy in Mrs. Warren's Profession (I really can't though, my vacation is this week, not next week)
frankiecat: (Brian "Justin!")
I decided to change my layout again... I had to put up a picture of 17 year old Justin too... Just 'cuz...

Oh and wouldn't it figure? I am finally on vacation, my brother has moved out and now I have a sinus infection? AGAIN!

I just can't win... Can I? I will though... Hopefully in three days I will be in New York City...
frankiecat: (Brian and Justin "Snoopy Dance")
I made a new screensaver with pretty pictures (yum, yum... it takes me a few minutes to go back on now, cause I'm sitting here watching the pictures)...

I cleaned out my email, I just want to figure out how to free up some resources, so this thing will go faster...

I also only have a week left till my vacation... I just realized that this morning actually... Still trying to figure out if I'm going to New York for a few days.

I also found episodes to download to my ipod of Queer as Folk... I'll have to figure out how to download some of them properly...

Ummmmm... I had more, I think... I forgot...
