Phan weekend update: The photos!!
I took SO MANY PHOTOS OMG. I came out of there with some 134 edited photos of the group and another 20 or so of Pittsburgh. So behind the cut are ALL 150!! Just kidding. Here are a smattering of my favourite photos. The entire group of them can be found here, for those interested in checking them all out (you know who you are!).
Erik quite enjoys our hotel room!
He thinks the view is quite nice...for something that's above ground.
Jeff and Becca were awesome enough to set this whole thing up for us. Here they pose with their welcome sign (that's Brad Little as the Phantom!)!
Brad's slowly deflating balloon. I don't know what we expected. The poor thing was 10 years old and all the other balloons they tried to blow up popped!
How many Eriks can you fit in a goblet (the goblet, btw, comes straight from the production)? 3 apparently. Plus one hanging on down below. He's already had too much. The apple is our friend Raphael. Well, not really. But he couldn't make it, so the apple is his stand-in!
Chris and Krista watching this video (Becca and Jeff's version of the Beauty Underneath). They were both amused and horrified at the NO PANTS JEFF moment.
Erik checks out the Cold Shower Room. Hey, ya gotta have one!
Crys (me), Brad, and Raphael. And yes, for the weekend I again became Crys (sounds like the name Chris, for those wondering). Been a long time since anyone has called me that.
Alix and Angel fondle Brad's balloon! Naughty girls!
Kathryn KNOWS she's being naughty!
Chris tries to figure out what exactly Brad is looking at.
The original Phan trio (Becca, me and Angel) pose with our Erik dolls on our heads. We did this the first time we ever met nearly 11 years ago! Alas, that picture came out REALLY DARK. This one is much better!
All the naughty girls pose with Brad!
Jeff had to get in on the action, as did Raphael!
Angel shows off her lovely new look. Ok, so this was how we blindfolded people for the "Pin the mask on the Erik" game.
My hoodie! Yep, that's as dressed up as I get. Ghetto phan.
Angelica makes an appearance!
Diana and Angel.
Kaedra is a cheeky monkey!
The Phantom was our bartender! Granted, he wasn't a very good one. Most of his drinks were Mountain Dew, Iced tea, and potato chips. For real.
The Phantom (Jeff) and Becca (Christine).
Aww sweet!
Awww NOT SO SWEET. OMG JEFF!
Jeff and Becca reenact the "Stranger than you dreamt it" scene.
Erm...Jeff...I'm pretty sure THIS is not part of the scene!
V (Chris) and the Phantom face off!
But they find out they have lots in common! They both wear masks, cloaks, and like to blow shit up! For the record, Erik has vowed to NOT shave Christine's head. Christine is most relieved.
Nutmeg (Maura) gets told that "We can't all be like Christine."
V!
We set up my camera to take three photos (you can set it up for a 10 second timer and take three photos). For each set we did serious, smiling, and crazy. Here are the best three! And yes, the photos look a little odd on the edges. I forgot my camera was wide-angle and should have zoomed in a bit and backed the chair up. I just wasn't thinking and I couldn't tell looking at the small versions of it. Oh well!
Am I a friend of the fountain? NO. I CAN'T EVEN SEE IT!! It was hidden behind the giant stupid sign.
The bridge across the river.
Some pictures of the river Saturday afternoon.
The crazy boat/bus thing coming out of the water.
Dahlia would have loved these guys!
The creepy Mr. Rogers statue. It's a LOT creepier in person!
Angelica reappears before the show Saturday night.
The group at the show.
Alix with Sean MacLaughlin (Raoul).
Luke Grooms (Piangi) and Kim Stengel (Carlotta)
Alix, Becca, Jeff, Angel, and I after the performance. OMG I MISS YOU GUYS!!!
Everyone who was dressed up posed with this couple. They wanted a picture with us!
