Vacation

[bigboobedcanuck]

Had an amazing time in Cape Cod and New York City. mcfeste, susanderavish and I went to Provincetown last weekend and had some adventures with a rented boat, Miss Richfield 1981 and lots of tequila. Also the most amazing seafood. Mmm, lobster bisque

It sounds like you had an amazing trip. I really enjoy Matt Doyle's performances and now that I know we don't have to watch him die or lose his love I'll keep a watch out for the movie.

I must admit that I miss his longer hair.

I do enjoy Matt's shag, but the military look is surprisingly attractive on him, IMO!

Your trip sounds fantastic! Agree with you so much on American Idiot! When I initially saw it, I only thought it was okay. But after a lot of reflecting, I realized that it was just the story I didn't care for, but everything else was absolutely phenomenal. The staging and lighting were incredible - they did such an amazing job at visually telling a story without dialogue. And Stark was brilliant, and such a sweetheart at the stage door!

It's good to see you back!

The book for AI, such as it was, was definitely weak. "This is my rage" etc. doesn't really resonate with me. But everything else was just fantastic. Performances, staging, set, lighting, music. I need to see it again! Three times just wasn't enough. There's so much going on that I can imagine you see something new every time.

I'd say it's good to be back, but I wish I was still away, heh. But thank you! :)

I'm glad that NYC treated you well.

[bigboobedcanuck]

It did! Next time I have to make sure I go when there's some ballet on. :)

God, I CANNOT wait to see N2N when it comes to the Ahmanson. So psyched for it. Oh and I caught Passing Strange on PBS and regret not going to see it live. I loved every second of it.

SUTTON AND BOBBY CANNAVALE ARE MY FAVORITES. THIS IS ME BEING JEALOUS.

... and last but not least, MATT DOYLE! Glad you ladies had a wonderful trip and I will say that I'm glad you're all back!

[bigboobedcanuck]

N2N is so fantastic! I love the music and the staging and just...everything. It's incredible. Have they announced who's playing Dan on tour?

I need to get that Passing Strange DVD. We were going to watch it at SDV's, but got distracted by watching Brian and Justin's greatest hits. Of which there are many, of course.

Sutton and Bobby were great! I LOLed that Bobby doesn't list Third Watch in his bio. You'll always be Bobby the paramedic to me, Cannavale!

Matt was just...well, you can imagine. So glad I went!

xo

[amelialourdes]

No announcement yet! Waiting for it.

got distracted by watching Brian and Justin's greatest hits

I'd say that's a valid distraction. I popped in some 202 the other day myself.

Lol! Bobby just pops up everywhere. His roles are so diverse in television and in movies. I'd love to see him on the stage sometime. If anything, he should come here temporarily. I'll give him back to NY later.

[bigboobedcanuck]

It's incredible just how many awesome moments B/J have in S1 alone. I'd forgotten some! (Namely when they went out back of Debbie's and shared the smoke and Justin put his head on Brian's shoulder and Brian held him closer.) I can't imagine Brian and Justin will ever be beaten in Shipper Thunderdome because there's just so much awesomeness. And sex.

Bobby really does have a wide range. He was great!

WAT OMG I didn't know you got to see Matt!!! *_______* That must have been so amazing.

I'm so sick of gay coming-of-age tales ending in tragedy

Um, yes please.

I have heard nothing but good things about American Idiot, but on one lazy afternoon, I tried watching a boot and it just didn't grab me. Maybe I'll try again, I might not have been in the right mood. Or something. But I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much - there's really nothing like an amazing theater experience. :D

commentjacking because that is apparently how we do round these hurr parts

1. Yeah, when she emailed me to Twitterstalk she post-scripted that she was seeing Idiot, as that is Very Relevant To My Interests. HOWEVER. SHE FAILED TO MENTION THIS FACT TOO. AND AS MUCH AS I LOVE AI WITH MY PROUD LITTLE FANGIRLY HEART, SERIOUSLY? I AM DISSAPPOINT.

2. omg I looooove what Matt said about the whole gay love stories being depressing as hell or all about the struggle for equality. I've been complaining for years (ever since the -- IMO, overrated -- Brokeback) that until we can just have gay lovers be, well, GAY, and not horrifically persecuted, true equality will never be achieved. It's gotta be no big deal, just sweet sweet love. And this is why I'm looking forward to McKinley so much. Plus, Seth Numrich (his Romeo, lulz) is ADORABLE AS HELL on Gravityalso matt will apparently be topless. in more than one scene. sign me up, plz

[oatmeal_cookie]

HAVE I TOOOOOOLD YOU LATELYYYYYYYYYY THAT I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU (no I have not, so I will now)

It's gotta be no big deal, just sweet sweet love.

So, so, so true. When it's not some big ~tragedy~ or ~controversy~, when it's just your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, that will be one of the BIGGEST steps in finally achieving this. It may happen in our lifetime, too.

D'AWWWW YOUR NOVEL ABOUT AI, YOU'RE SO CUTE. :D AND I REALLY DO LOVE YOU A HUGE AMOUNT <3<3<3 Believe me, I totally understand being a stan, and being protective about something, and just for you I will give this a try! I was only a couple minutes in and I just wasn't feeling it, and I kind of just knew in my bones that there's a lot lost in translation because so many people love it and it was so weird to me that I couldn't. I've listened to the OBCR a couple times - I always get a little thrill when I hear "21 Guns" on local radio - but I have a couple audios on hand too, so I will try those!

*squishes you*

[msmoocow]

21 GUNS IS PLAYED THERE. WTF YOUR LOCAL RADIO IS AWESOME.

<33333 THANK YOU for giving it another chance! Really though, I do understand people who've seen it and been like EW ANGST, so no pressure to actually like it. I just doubt that most people can see it in person and not have VERY STRONG FEELINGS, whether positive or negative.

THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. I'M DRUNK AND HAVE A SHOWERCAP FULL OF BAKING SODA ON MY HEAD. HOW ARE YOU.
