Helllllllllllooooooooooooo!!!!! Okay so I started posting and I dunno what happened -- all GONE So I'm going to do this in blocks - multiple posts in the HOPES that I can get it all up! I was supposed to be with that gang above in Columbus but life (and death) rearing its ugly head made it impossible to go. So same event, different venue, my best friend, Francine (frank) and I went to see ROA in CLEARWATER Florida!!!!! I've seen it in Toronto several times and caught this incredible cast for several shows in Detroit with Toni, Darrell, Cari and Patty (Kay was kind enough to post my pix for me then - I"m gonna try on my own tonight!) So - sorry it's taken this long to get here - too much 'stuff' to catch up on - you know, go away for 4 days and come home to 7 days worth of 'stuff' to deal with!!!! Anyway got to Florida (yes WAY warmer than southern ontario!) on Wednesday and caught our first show on Thursday night! The venue is lovely but set up strangely and even tho we were 4th row, we were FAR away and MiG did not see us from the stage. So........lol.......I did something about that of course and took off seconds before I figured the final ovation would start -- musta been good timing because Frank said security was on me like a shot but they didn't do anything but eagle eye me -- I was SO careful to make sure that I didn't mess with anyone already at the front or go to close to the stage -- it's great fun when you make the connection once MiG's seen you! This is us after the show hugs

woohoo -- now that I know the pix thing works again I'll continue my posts!!!! I took the opportunity to take pix with a number of cast members the lovely and ever talented Rebecca (Sherry in ROA) then there was Theresa (Justice) Waitress #1 (Angela Brignall IRL) The very talented but very ill Casey Tuma (Regina) and of course Constantine (Drew)!! FUN time was to find out that fellow Hamiltonian Nick Cordero (totally handsome and warm personalitly) grew up about 8 blocks from where I grew up!!!! lol I was meeting Riza on Friday night for that show - we did a sushi dinner first before headed out to the show hugs

This show is just soooo much fun -- here's the LOL moment for Friday night....I had a single ticket (Riza and David were somewhere 'up there'. My seat happened to be behind the wheelchair row on the left side. So when Joey Primo came down and stood on the rails, he noticed my ROA t-shirt and maybe even me - who knows -- and we high fived it etc -- in fact every time a cast member came by I got high fives and the like! The crowd was wild - maybe a bit 'too' rowdy as the evening went on -- well they do allow drinking in the theatre - lol......Con turned to the audience at one point to tell them to 'shut up' to which everyone LOL........ There was a certain drunkard who decided to lay down across my lap and the laps of the folks in my row!!!!! LOL........I dared not say anything cuz I didn't know if his mike was on or not -- but it was tempting!!! He didn't know that was my seat - it would have been hillarious! Ends up that because they never know what he might say or do ( I gather he's been a bad boy on occasion), they now cut his mike for the tumble down the stairs to the stage!!! here's me and Riza cuttin' up in the lobby! There were quite a few fans waiting after the show -- and as usual MiG gave everyone his time and attention but he had to head back into the theatre to 'schmooze' with the gold circle members (or something like that)

a few pix from Saturday --- Nick (Dennis) and Patrick (Lonny) - above and me and Patrick at stage WALL! stage door is BEHIND that pinky wall -- security is insane. If you want to talk to them, they have to walk all the way up to the fence -- no true 'stage door' here! Saturday night Frank, MiG and me oppps I forgot to put in the me, MiG and Riza pix from Friday nite! If you EVER get a chance to score banquet chair seats - GET THEM -- MiG says and I can't agree more - that the show has subtle 'up close' references that you don't necessarily get when you're sitting further back. Those seats will make you feel like you're part of the play - and I guess to a certain extent you are -- the cast interacts with anyone who shows an interest - it's like you're PART of the show!!!! Riza and MiG hugs

#bowdown-1# Hi everyone!!!!!!!
Gee, I love these pictures . . . especially "Lonnie" and "Dennis" . . . besides a "certain rockstar" they were my favorite part of the show . . . oh, and btw, as I recall from Detroit, you had NO PROBLEM being a part of the show from all the way in the nose bleeds . . . do I need to remind you of why? hehehee

Gee, your pictures are amazing! We missed you in Columbus, so I'm so glad you and Francine could get away, have some fun, and meet up with Riza. You, Francine and Riza look gorgeous! And Riza's new 'do is really cute. You three look like you're having a ball - and causing just a little bit o' trouble..... in a very good way lol MiG looks terrific, and it's easy to see he was his usual sweet and engaging self. The photos with the cast members are great! In addition to being so attractive, they're all very nice and fun people. Angela looks so cute in that hat! The fact that MiG landed in your lap is too funny. I give you credit for containing yourself - I would have probably broken out laughing! Nick grew up 8 blocks away from you? How cool is that?!? Your sunset picture is really pretty. Please tell me you didn't take the picture while you were driving at a high rate of speed, Gee?!? I hope not - you could have ended up in Davy Jones's locker! Cari - it's great you stopped by and posted. What, pray tell, did Gee do from the rafters in Detroit? Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh Kay I LOVE that shot of you and MiG (love that guyliner)!!!! Um....MB - yeah - I went solo on Fri nite as Frank needed to get a bit of rest - I was meeting Riza and yes - was driving when I took that shot -- but HEY - they have cell phones plastered to their ears down there so I figured - why not!! and had I waited to get off the causeway I'd have missed that cuz no kidding, less than a minute later that view was GONE!!!!! heehee...it WAS a straight away and I didn't look - just turned on the camera, opened the window and shot a couple off!!! Trouble? - moi lol...........let's just say that on Friday night I ASKED to go down to the front -- um...NO!!! (I should not have asked - but this time I was much farther back than the night before). As for the drunk -- lol....it's a bit hard to collect your thoughts with a face full of HAIR!!!!! another LOL moment during the matinee - we had those banquet chairs - centre of the row - at 'jazz hands' Lonny (the incredibly talented and funny Patrick Lewallen) pointed to me and said "You - my dressing room - five minutes!" I lol and thumbs up'd that -- would you believe some peeps thought he was serious??!!! I can't even tell you what Chris asked me to do when he spotted me on Friday nite as Arsenal got on stage to start the show!!!! lol..... And now it's snowing and cold -- a week ago I was in a spring jacket!!!!! hugs gee

Gee, Thank you for your nice words about the picture with MiG. He looks very cute in makeup! The set-up in Clearwater with the "stage door" was kind of strange...I was half expecting you'd have a picture of a SWAT Team moving in to ward off those pesky audience members! lol Maybe Elvis played there once and they never took the fence down! It's nice the cast was so friendly to everyone - which is just the way they always are. I can picture you now zooming across the causeway with your camera dangling out the window! Sunsets change so quickly - so I know what you mean about a view being gone in a flash. I'm glad you escaped unscathed! Too funny about Patrick and Chris saying funny things to you while on stage! Speaking of Patrick (Lonnie), here are a couple photos of him and more... (Edited to add: I forgot to say the photos with Patrick and Nick are from Mary Beth - thanks, MB!)Wanda and Patrick Kay, Patrick and MB Gee's former "neighbor" Nick (Dennis) with Kay and MB Toni's cute socks! I'll whip out some more pics soon...
