OK, I said I was all settled with not being able to get a ticket and blah blah, and then I wrote my enabler (Anthony) and said, "Yeah, I forgot to get a ticket to the RENT thing, but I'm cool with that," and he writes back with, "You know, I can get you a ticket..." (Not discounted of course, this is still charity benefitting, but still *getting* of the ticket)... and I cave. I cave, I cave, I cave, that is the point. Mr Anthony Knows Everyone in the RENT World Rapp had to come along with his ticket offers and sweet casual friendly gesture stuff...he's an enabler. A pusher. He knew I couldn't resist. Best intentions, my foot.
The point - the point is that I'm going to the 10th Anniversary RENT Benefit concert tomorrow night on money I shouldn't have spent but for emotional reasons I cannot and will not ever outgrow or regret. And now Arjuna got a last minute flight and might be able to go too. It's a last minute amazement, as if there's one person in the world I need to do this with, it's him. So, fingers crossed.
I hope to see some of you there. :) A few people have asked, so: The answer is yes, I'm going, so please say hi.
Wow, Im soo happy for u Melissa, I'm a huge fan of Idina, she utterly amazing in Wicked. I was just looking at your blog and wondering where you got this blog from. I love the way it's set up. Is it from Go Daddy? which has been avertised on Mugglecast, by the way I'm a huge fan of your 'Cast, and at first I was only listening to Muggle, then I decided to try ur's and now i'm in love, you guys are the ones that made me laugh first! John Noe's great. Hope your doing alright! I have to side with Andrew, I've been behind, I was just listening to the Leakymug at Starbucks! I'm a Hot Choclate fan my self, GO STARBUCKS lol! Have fun at Rent!
P.S. Just drop ur answer, if u will answer to my email, if you'll answer it...Thx Melissa! Lyal HPer
I STILL haven't seen the play or the movie! Blast, I've got some catching up to do!
I just had the pleasure of seeing Anthony Rapp in Macon, GA this Saturday and he was quite amazing. I am still getting over the whole thing because he was such a wonderful and kind guy. Congratulations on the ticket and have fun.
*sigh* If only I lived in New York...and had $1000 to spare. :( I still haven't seen it live, but hopefully that'll change this summer (yay for the Pantages!). :D Have a great time tonight!
I'm sure you won't regret it. It'll be magical and sometimes you just gotta go back and revisit those times.
I was also really darn close to shelling out the money for the tickets, but ended up being laid off and couldn't figure out a way to come up with the $1000 plus plane tickets and the like. Oh well, I will just live vicariously through everyone else who will be partaking this evening.
Perhaps I'll see you there in another five years.
That's awesome that you have tickets! I still haven't seen the movie...
wow - entirely jealous. (not that I wasn't before, but hey...)
Soooo, how was it??? =) *is insanely jealous* Please post a nice long review if you have time, I was dying to go and would love an account of it from someone so involved with the cast and the show! Peace
OMG...I was at the benefit and I thought I saw you and I was gong to say hello, but then I maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me!!! I hope you had fun, I certainly did...
