Now or Never

So who's going to NYC next weekend to see Paul Guilfoyle read a short story? This girl!



A co-worker friend and I are taking the train up Friday, seeing Wicked and Driving Miss Daisy on Saturday and then Mary Poppins and PG at The Word Theatre on Sunday (tickets were just purchased). I'm trying not to get too excited but yeah, I'm doing a happy dance. I'm also freaking out just a bit.

I always wanted to see PG play hockey in Seattle but it always seems to sneak up on me and there's never a guarantee that he's going to show up (he missed last year) or if he does show up, he'll do the autograph session before the game (he missed this the last year he played). When I saw this I thought it was probably as close to having an opportunity fall in my lap as I'll ever get. I might never get another chance and if I passed it up, I'd regret it the rest of my life. It just happened to work out that my friend had been wanting to do a theatre trip to NYC and she could go next weekend. Since I'm dragging her along to see an actor she's not very familiar with, I bought her ticket but she does have her eye on Owiso Odero so this could be interesting. Either that or my fangirling will scare the crap out of her.

I have already warned her.

Very cool! I hope you have a blast!

Thanks! If I can keep from hyperventilating, I will.

WOW! I am SO excited for you! YAY!

[bunchofgrapes]

I was SO excited too and then I read that the venue for this is a library that only accommodates 80 to 120. Now I'm kinda freaking out. Thank goodness there's a bar.

OMG, that is SOOOO cool! Do you know how tempted I am to send you a Brillows story to give him? ;) Have fun! AND TAKE PICTURES!

[bunchofgrapes]

You know, I keep thinking how weird it could be to potentially meet this man who portrays a character that I've written about in smutfic. Awwwkward.

How cool is this??????????? Please try not to get in trouble. But if you do - make sure you get your hands on PG before they drag you away. :)

As one of my friends said, NYC is a big place so my arrest probably will go unnoticed.

Congrats!!! :D

Want to take Fandom Bunny? ;P

[bunchofgrapes]

Hmm, can fandom bunny wear a small hockey jersey? That could be a good ice breaker.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you HAVE a small hockey jersey, feel free! He's got two shirts by now but neither is sports-related.

Keep your eyes open and you might find him appearing in something. I came across this on Icerocket. I was doing a search to see if he was playing in the hockey game this weekend in Seattle (he is) and this popped up.

The venue for this is a library that only accommodates 80 to 120 people. Thankfully, there's a bar.

This is awesome! :D I hope you get to swoon over him to your heart's content.

[bunchofgrapes]

Thanks! I just hope that if I get to meet him, I don't come away sounding like a complete idiot. Luckily, there's a bar.

Hee I hope so too! When I met my huge actor-crush of the moment, Christopher Eccleston, I spent a good 10 minutes trying to work up the courage to just say hi, and of course he disappeared into the VIP area just when I was about to try. XD

[bunchofgrapes]

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! I hope you've been enjoying your day.

I remember reading about your actor-crush moment and that would absolutely happen to me. Luckily, my friend is an extrovert to my introvert so I fully expect her to push me forward. Plus, I tend to have more courage when I'm around an extrovert.

Maddeningly awesome!

I have certain expectations, such as you rushing the stage, laying a big wet one on him and being dragged away....

I am very excited for you and can't wait to hear all about it.

I'm so happy for you and green with envy too! Okay, first you have to talk to the man. And then...my heart's fluttering.... touch him. And right before the security people escort you out, tell him you're representing a whole lot of fanfiction writers who absolutely love him, and then grab him and lay a huge smoocharoo on him for all of us! Remember now, we're counting on you. And we want to hear all about it....

Okay heart, be still...

Oh, and tell him to let his freakin' hair grow some!
