ooc; Okay though one last ooc post today before I disappear because this is a story I need to share on here
So like, the other day at work, I was trying to light this candle that’s in the women’s restroom. It was lit almost all the time, so I was like, ok, there’s matches somewhere around here. I spent like almost thirty minutes looking for these fucking matches and then a coworker got back and I was like “WHERE.DO.YOU.HIDE.THE.MATCHES” and it was revealed to me that smokers possess this magical fire instrument called a fucking lighter
So she handed me the lighter and I was going to light the candle, but then I realized
Rosie
You don’t know how to use a fucking lighter
So I fumbled with this cigarette lighter for like two minutes being like “DO I PRESS A BUTTON HOW DO I DO THIS PEOPLE MAKE IT LOOK SIMPLE…” before giving up and admitting defeat
I tried to use it again like three days later and still couldn’t figure it out
IN MY DEFENSE I HAVE NO SMOKERS IN MY FAMILY AND HAVE NEVER HAD A NEED FOR A CIGARETTE LIGHTER??? I JUST ALWAYS USE MATCHES TO LIGHT SHIT????
So that is my story
You may think I’m actually Louis but in reality I don’t know how to use a cigarette lighter
I have failed
Better stick with matches, then. hahaha!
No, actually I know that feel, bro. First time I had to use a lighter, I knew that the wheel mechanism had something to do with it, but my finger kept slipping. Turns out you don’t use your pointer finger, you use your thumb, and you want it to be nice and dry to get a good grip *facepalm*
Yes, I was aware it was very well-received in SF! Hence my excitement when it was announced that it would come to NY.
Yeah I don’t know exactly what they cut, only that a lot was cut, and that the show I saw was so… bare… it just seemed very stripped down. Sets and things were not so glamorous, the singing seemed kind of limited in a way… I think there is a recording of the SF show somewhere on youtube, I should watch it for comparison.
Fortunately garama must have seen it, bc he did some fanart that was directly inspired by the musical:
ooc; Some of the songs from both the San Francisco version and the New York one are on Youtube.
Embrace It is the best thing to happen to this fandom on stage. Seriously. It is exactly 100% Louis and Lestat’s relationship.
Right Before My Eyes – Hugh Panaro – This was added for the NY version and it’s Stat pining for Nicki and trying to decide whether to give him the blood/reveal himself and it’s amazing. Also this version is very sweet and Hugh is awesome. (There is some talking before, but this is at a charity event.)
ooc; Just your daily reminder that Mater is a-ok with people making money selling shirts with Lestat’s face on it, but is not ok with people writing nonprofitable fanfiction because yOU’RE INFRINGING ON RIGHTS
It is a mystery what Mater finds acceptable and unacceptable in terms of infringement on HER DARLING BABIES. WHICH NOONE ELSE CAN PLAY WITH GRRRR. it’s pronounced “Les-DOT” people bc of reasons!
I pronounce it Le-stat, like, Le-cat. “Lestat in the hat” A children’s book.
