Suddenly, I Saw Mr. Sex

[pennswoods]

I flew to the US last week for a conference, and on my way back I managed to work in a 36 hour layover in London on Monday and Tuesday. I touched down at Heathrow around 6:30am and made it to the Walrus Youth Hostel (literally right beside Waterloo Station) by 8:30am. I had been wanting to see a play and found out Andrew Scott was performing in

Agh, if you'd gone the next day I could have introduced you to Louise!

[pennswoods]

WHAT? You're killing me. You're absolutely killing me. She sounds like a lot of fun. Damn my job. You know, I keep going to London and yet have never met you. This needs to change. Perhaps we could meet up when I am next there.

ARGH!!! I so want to see Louise on stage eventually too.

[oncelikeshari]

We must meet up one day.

Maybe you can pop over to see my play one day *unusually optimistic of me*

[pennswoods]

Hells yeah! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE YOUR PLAY! Your class sounds awesome and like you had a terrific rapport with the other students and the instructor, and I cannot wait. I would love this.

If I am being distant from LJ, please poke me, especially while I am still in Europe. I really think this would be amazingly cool. And then I'd want to interview you for my documentary perhaps. :)

SO. MUCH. SQUEEE!!!

I'm sorry the show was kind of meh but that Andrew Scott was magnetic and awesome.

And you are not allowed to say you failed at being a fangirl for being polite, respectful, not pushy, AND ACTUALLY SPEAKING INTELLIGIBLY TO ANDREW SCOTT.

And ZOMGFLAILSQUEEEEEEEEE that you have tickets for Martin's Richard III!!!! *grabs your hands and jumps up and down squealing*

[pennswoods]

London is my squee heaven! It was awesome seeing Andrew perform and experiencing his energy and stillness in person. I think it was a really solid cast too. I am looking forward to reading the play and seeing if experiencing that way affects my understanding of it. It's kind of a treat to be able to see a brand new play and to purchase the play too!

Seeing Martin Freeman on stage is probably going to be the highlight of my year. The squee around that is going to be incredible. If there are still tickets left, maybe I'll try to go another day too to compare performances.

[suzieconfused]

DUDE!!! DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!! I'll finally meet you?!!?!?!? I have tickets for the SAME day!!! *runs in circles and squees like an idiot*
GAH!!! I saw you've got tix for Martin but didn't get around to ask you when and now I read that you've got them the SAME FUCKING DAY!!!! This is bloody awesome!!!
(Sorry about the play though but yay for seeing AS - still one of the men (and women) I need to see!)

[pennswoods]

YES!!!! We're going to be there on the same damn day!!!! I heard from Roxana, who helped me with the booking, that a group of you guys were going to be there that day. I am so excited.

But I wish Geny could join us!!!! We're going to have to squee extra hard on her behalf.

[suzieconfused]

HOORAY!!! About damn time we meet!!! And even in London! With Martin!!! Well, sort of!!! GAH!! You have no idea how excited and happy that makes me!!!! *bounces all over the place* CANT WAIT TO FINALLY MEET YOU!!!
Oh she'll be there in spirit!!!! And yes, we will!!! So loud she can hear us in Germany!

[venturous1]

oh, how FUN!!! Dancing Andrew must have been a treat. Dancing wet Amdrew even more so.

and so wonderful that you got tickets for R3 as well.

[pennswoods]

Let me enhance this a little, dancing, SHIRTLESS, wet Andrew was a lovely treat. I am super excited about R3. At least I know what some of my summer reading is going to be.

I would also love it if there was maybe a little shirtless or perhaps sleeveless Martin Freeman action going on in that one.

drinkingcocoa would have encouraged me to eat something proper if she'd been with me

Ha. Who, me? I'm eating a giant bar of chocolate as I type. Although I do appreciate your euphemistic word choice of "encouraged."

[pennswoods]

Is that giant bar of chocolate your dinner? I just remember you insisting on having proper full breakfasts and dinners at the con, when I was just planning to subsist on alcohol, chocolate and whatever was leftover in the con suite.

[drinkingcocoa]

Oh, you know me. Both/and rather than either/or.
