Equus and NYC weekend!!

[the_gubette]

So my bff and I went to NYC this past weekend! We stayed with my ljbff lotus_lizzy and her hubby Adam, and we all had so much fun!


We saw more sights than I even considered being able to see, and I learned many things, such as:



-Elizabeth and I are not big on travel plans.

-It's fun to stay at the YMCA, especially when there's cake, old people, balloons, and a really really Italian guy named Michael.

-Picabo Street now works in the Intensive Care Unit.

-Adam will always indulge my "your mom" jokes, but he is spoken for.

-If you are ever in NYC and want to take a bus tour, there is a very nice man named Latif who can help you. Just, uh...don't tell him I sent you.

-Last week, a guy stood up on a tour bus and was decapitated by a street light. Dead. True story.

-The legal age of consent in the UK is 16. Which makes me really want to go to the UK and track down a cute British boy named James.

-There is only one building in NYC that was not the tallest building in the world at any point in time.

-Cats can play fetch.

-And finally, Daniel Radcliffe's penis is proportionate to his body, and his testicles appear to be of average size.


That finally point brings me to Equus.

I have to admit, I'm not really a theatre buff, and I'm not particularly artsy. So I don't have a lot to say about Equus. For a very in depth and wonderful review, see lotus_lizzy's entry here. I'm just going to say "ditto" to that. If I tried for anything else, the only parts that will make sense will be "the horses were so pretty," and "DRad has the cutest bum," and "wow, I wonder how heavy those blocks are."

A very cool thing that we got to experience was the entire cast coming back on stage after the curtain call to tell us about Broadway Cares. They were raising money and were in a competition with a couple other Broadway shows, and so they had a little auction. By little, I mean they auctioned Dan's pants, (unfortunately not the ones he was wearing, although he offered) which were a size 29 waist with "short legs" (Dan's words). The pants ended up selling for $1000, but the fun part was watching the cast interact outside of the play, and witnessing just how socially awkward Dan is in real life. *sigh* I am such a sucker for socially awkward boys.


Also, on Saturday, we got to have dinner with bk7brokemybrain! Because my bff is the only person in my RL who knows about my HP slash fascination, although he's not really into it, it was so nice to have a discussion with people who understand why I love it. I only wish we could have talked even longer. Oh well, there's always next trip! :)

Yay! We are so not into travel plans. Thank goodness we have sensible people around us! I miss you already!!!

Yeah, between Michael, Adam, and your dad, maybe we can get us all where we need to go!

*G* I would have laid done a grand for Dan's pants... 1,200 for the ones he was wearing... but I'm an idiot like that. Thank god they were only selling posters when I was there! *dies* (And I'm still really pissed off at myself for not buying one!)

Glad you had a good time! Travel is so much more fun with fandom friends, isn't it!?!?!

[the-gubette.livejournal.com]

Oh trust, if I'd had a grand to bid, I'd have done it in a heartbeat. Although, the woman who won was way too excited throughout the whole play, so she probably wouldn't have had a problem paying more.

I loved getting to meet fandom friends! I'm already trying to figure out a way to meet more.

First off, I want to tell you how much I love all the Torchwoody goodness all over your page. And I noticed the Tom Felton lyrics at the top of your page. I feel like a huge nerd just for having watched his videos (repeatedly), much less recognizing the lyrics, lol. I feel less alone now.
Definitely next time we can talk more. I got to talk to your bff more than you!
Thanks for the links - I am well into "Draco's Boy" and I love it. I've already read empathic siren's Snarry stuff and I loved that, too.
ttyl,

I love Torchwood! I'm so excited for season 3 to start. And I just love Tom Felton's music. I find myself singing "Time Isn't Healing" in a southern twang British accent. We can be nerds together! And I'm so glad you like "Draco's Boy"! It's always been one of my favorites.

Yes I love Dan so much and talking to him is so amazing it's something that he can really be that sweet in RL!

The play was brilliant!

[the-gubette.livejournal.com]

He does seem like a really sweet guy all the time. I <3 my little socially awkward Dan!

loved the update! makes me wish i was back in nyc :D glad to know you had a great time babe!

[the-gubette.livejournal.com]

It was fantastic! Next time, we should all try to be there at the same time...like our own little gay porn convention. :)

[aldehyde.livejournal.com]

omg that would be the best thing ever!

[xenylamine.livejournal.com]

Aww, I live really close to New York. XD

[the-gubette.livejournal.com]

Aw, man! We could have totally met up and had a mini-HP convention wherever we happened to me. I'm like a traveling HP con all the time anyway. :)

[xenylamine.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're ever back in the area, let me know. :3

[dirty-darella.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you all had a lot of fun. ^_^
Yayness.

And finally, Daniel Radcliffe's penis is proportionate to his body, and his testicles appear to be of average size.

Good to know. *nods*

People were getting so excited about how huge DRad's balls were, but there looked normal size to me. I want to keep everyone informed! :)
