1.  It is near the end of another week. Which means, TWO WEEKS UNTIL I LEAVE FOR LONDON. CANNOT. WAIT. ASJDLSJFDLASKLDA.

2. Work has been made of fail, and will be made of fail for the week(s) to come. Emphatically NOT looking forward to it. Sigh.

3. Honestly I have no idea how I'm supposed to be watching all the shows I have to see. But now I MUST ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure Drowsy is closed in London... not 100% sure but... I think it is....

The JRB concert should be ok, he's got lots of people friendly music. As long as nobody attempts "Dreaming Wide Awake" without being qualified to sing it (I've only heard two people ever land that song) you should be ok. He writes the prettiest music ever, that's for sure.

And not to be a dissenting opinion, but "i love you, you're perfect.." is awful. Don't waste a show spot with it if you can help it.

Yeah, I just checked through shows in London and you're right - think I got thrown by someone asking for an audio of the show. I was, like, WHAAAT. Have to see it if it's in London!

Fingers crossed for JRB then! I really do love his music, though I keep getting back into an L5Y loop, bah. Who were the two people you heard land that song?

No worries, I welcome dissenting opinions. Awful? Will duly take that into consideration. Together with vertical_chaos's emphatic ANTI-recommendation of Young Frankenstein. ;)

I will second the anti-Young Frank. YUCK. Same with Little Mermaid. And I love almost all theater. I even vaguely enjoyed Legally Blonde. But those two were disasters of the first order.

And Lauren Kennedy can nail it and apparently Mara Davi can too. And I've never heard anybody else even try the song, its too hard. If somebody gives it a shot, let me know...haha.

Why are these shows still PLAYING then? I guess they're bankable and people would go for them. *ahem* Says the one going to Little Mermaid. I really want to see In The Heights though. And Gypsy and Sunday are already on the cards, so I'm just filling in the other empty spots now and trying to decide what goes where.

You know what's troubling? The concert tomorrow is CALLED Dreaming Wide Awake. Which surely means someone is going to try to sing it. Erm. Oh dear. I shall tell you how that goes... *scared*

WTF IS THIS FAIL ON MY PART. SALJDALSDJALSDJALS. I DON'T HAVE THE VIDEO. I WANT TO SEE SHERIE AS A ROCKSTAR. You'll be nice and upload it, won't you? :):)

I've seen it on people's lists, but didn't go out of the way to hunt it down as am only in a L5Y kind of mood NOW. I've listened to, like, three different versions of it all night LOL.

BTW, BRIAN IS SEXY-HOT. Did I share the album with you when I found it last time? BECAUSE YOU SO NEED IT.

Lunch break now? It's bedtime here. FOR REALZ THIS TIME.

YAY ILU.

And OMG, you know those links were all for me, right? Because I begged lanafromoz for them. ;) I'm SO SHAMELESS when it comes to obsession of the day.

The new Julia songs come with a 226MB download, OMG. I shall do that tomorrow and see if the songs ARE indeed different than what we have...

Yay for countdowns!! :)

8. i wish Drowsy had still been playing in London. I would have seen it in a heartbeat. Hell, I wish it was still playing here. :(

If you wanted to try lotto-ing ITH, I'm up for that. Not sure when, but hey...you never know.

ellixian May 24 2008, 04:49:03 UTC
It's getting closer by the day! :D

8. Oh absolutely. I'd see Drowsy again anyday, hence my excitement over it when I thought it was playing in the West End. Bah. :(

Lottoing ITH - that'd be great, except it's not guaranteed you'll get a seat, right? I don't know if I should just buy a ticket to guarantee that I get a seat. leagirl says it doesn't have rush or half-price tickets usually?

vertical_chaos May 24 2008, 09:00:17 UTC
No, no guarantees with lotto. I just refuse to pay more than that. LOL. They have rear mezz tickets for like 31.50, but those are probably already sold out.
