Hi, my name is Roman. I'm 44 years of age and live in the liberal oasis of Central Texas, known as Austin. I'm a big fan of Patti LuPone. It has been my pleasure to meet her in person several times. First time: November 2000 in Austin, Texas.. It was fantastic. Second time: January 2001 in Dallas, Texas (I took pictures, but the film got ruined.) Third time: (sort of) June 2001 in San Francisco. Actually, outside of the performance hall (where she did "Sweeney"). She was in her limo and getting ready to leave. I did see her perform with Mandy Patinkin in Richardson, Texas (2002). Some sow-woman didn't let me see Miss Patti. Fourth time: (November 2003) I did see her backstage, following her concert perf in Houston, Texas.. March 2005: I did go to Washington, D.C. and see her perform as "Regina Giddens" in "Regina" at the Kennedy Center. I was unable to see her in person, as she was in "total vocal silence." She had a concert in NYC two days later. Now, I'm going to NYC from March 14 --17 to see her in "Sweeney Todd" and see her backstage after the show. I'm sooooo excited to be going to the Big Apple. Sincerely, Roman in Austin, Texas.... a.k.a. the official Patti LuPone FANatic (with P.L.'s permission, of course.) 1st pic: Me freezing my butt off on the steps of the U.S. Capitol (March 2005) 2nd pic: November 2003 in Houston, Texas 3rd pic: Me in my apt., January 2006.

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

All the other real ones
that I destroy
Cannot hold a candle
to my new boy and I'll
Never let him go
and I'll never be alone
Not with my coin-operated

Most of all, HAVE FUN.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Exactly what Jacob said!
Welcome to BWW. We're crazy bitches, but we can be very nice as well 
I wouldn't trade the drama here for anything.

Welcome Roman,
I am sure you will enjoy Patti's performance in Sweeney Todd. It is an amazing show. I hope you are able to see others while you are there.

Posted: 3/5/06 at 12:38amI rarely ever partake on a threads like these, but anyone who's a fan of Patti's can get me into an uncharacteristically welcoming mood. So participate often and thoughtfully, put on a helmet, and enjoy yourself here!

Welcome to the boards!
These welcoming first impressions can be deceiving...
