I went to see Selected Shorts with RSL the other night. Thought I'd share a bit about it ...

Whenever someone claims House wasn't a jerk I see them as one of those people who claim that House is JUST LIKE THEM. Meaning, you should let me be horrible to people and enable all my awful behaviour, because I'm brilliant and special and sexy. Just like House. He's not supposed to be a role model!

Well, this woman is very negative and does a lot of trash-talking behind people's backs. I have a feeling she admires the way House trash-talks to people's faces.

That was a big part of the reason House was so popular, he did what people secretly wish they could do. The problem is when you think real people should be able to act like that!

We used to have a really popular writer and virulent Wilson-hater in House/Wilson fandom and ... let's just say I recognize the pattern. :-D

I've never understood people who hate Wilson, and I've also never understood people who ship a pairing while hating one half of it, but apparently it happens. O.o

Yay! I'm so glad you got to go and of course, thank you so much for sharing the evening with us!

RSL does seem to have an amazing talent for reading to an audience. Not only does he have a sexy powerful voice that projects well, but he also has a wonderful ability to engage with the audience. It's probably what makes him such a successful stage actor ( ... )

whereas RSL would be scoffing a danish, sipping his coffee or drinking Orange juice! Or occasionally chatting to one of the others

:D Well, we can't expect the man to let free danish just sit there!

Yes! It always annoys me on these shows when there is a spread of lovely food and nobody touches it. I was pleased to see him tucking in!

Thank you so much for this review!! I could just SEE RSL. And count me among those who love the thinner/longer hair/glasses version. Yum.

As for your colleague...I congratulate you on your restraint!

You're welcome -- happy to do the work :)

Thank you for this, and for confirming my theory that people who hate Wilson are generally defective. :-D

EDIT:

And now I'm laughing because I just realized your colleague is Wrong On The Internet, IRL.

That sounds like such an interesting show...very much my cup of tea. And it was super that you got such close up seats, and got to see all those wonderful things about RSL.

This is for your colleague -
