Today was awesome. Luisa had slept over, so we woke up at around 8am to watch some TV show which had a POTO segment on it. After sitting through like 90 minutes of Vanessa Williams, they finally showed it and we were happy. After that, we watched a bit of Angels in America, which was interesting. Naked!Patrick was quite interesting. Then we got ready and headed out of the house to see POTO onstage.
First, I had to make a stop at Barnes and Noble. To pick up some of those somewhat-expensive-but-yummy chocolates. A belated Christmas gift. For who, do you ask? ...John Cudia. XD Whaaaat. I didn't get a chance to get him anything last year (since he was sick ;_; ). Got the chocolate, a bag, and some tissue paper (which clashed horribly with the bag but eh what can you do). Then we went by Morning Glory where I looked frantically for 15 minutes for a notepad or a small card or something I could use to write a note to stick with the gift on that WASN'T emblazed with engrish and chibis. Eventually found one, paid for it, we dashed out. On the F train, I wrote him a note, wrapped the box of chocolates in the tissue paper and shoved it in the bag along with the note. Victory. We got out at 47th and walked to the theater.
The show was quite nice. I hadn't seen it for about...five months. David Gaschen was playing Erik, and he was pretty good (though I still miss Hugh horribly). Whoever understudied Carlotta ("There is no understudy for La Carlotta!"...sorry, lapse into movie-verse) was...ick. She couldn't stay onkey. Ah well. Firmin understudy pretty good. Dana no use proper grammar. Anyway. Clung to Luisa at a few points during the show (AIAOY, Notes II until the end of the Graveyard scene, and the finale). Oh, the most amusing thing happened before the show started. Tourists were being dumb and using their cameras. So the ushers kept yelling at them to stop taking pictures. But they kept doing it. So one usher just yells at the top of his lungs. And the ENTIRE THEATER (which is HUGE) goes utterly silent. It was classic. What else...ah yes, graveyard scene was as slashy as I remembered it ^_^V Hey, an Erik/Raoul fangirl doesn't have much to pick from, but at least we have that. And the movie has some slashy parts, so all's well. Sandra Joseph was so-so as Christine (although I don't like Christine so it doesn't matter to me) and John was, as always, awesome as Raoul.
Once the show was over, Luisa and I made a mad dash for 45th st (stage door, yo). And we wait. I was getting nervous again (I still do, even though I've seen the man so many times!), but got over it. And then I saw John and I was like YAY and stuff. We hugged, Luisa got a hug too, and I talked to him for a bit. He's signed on for at least four more months, so that's good. And then I went "Er..it's a week late, but...Merry Christmas" and gave him the bag with the chocolates in it and he was just like O_O ^____^ And was all like "But I don't have anything for you!" which I thought was SO sweet so I laughed, hugged him, and went "Just a hug is fine." That man rocks, seriously. Chatted a little more, then Luisa and I skipped off. Well, by accident. I hope John didn't see us doing that XD It was just random, then we realized it and just went back to walking. Lmfao.
I took Luisa to Penn Station and decided ah what the hell let me take the LIRR home as well. It cuts down the travel time to 10 minutes, anyway. Which is just awesome. Took train (thank god for you Luisa, my watch was slow ten minutes, I would have missed the train if it weren't for you!) and went home, and here I am.
School tomorrow, don't want to go. ;_;
Oh, and Luisa and I had the most amusing conversations last night. Rulers, cats, and swirling vortexes of doom...Details and names have to be omitted, I'm sorry. XD It's for my own safety. Lmfao.
