Booked my ticket to see Jess at the end of July.

Bought our tickets to see CHRIS PINE in "Farragut North"! HAVE THE TICKETS. OMG. OMG. CAN'T. BREATHE. ACTING. INSANE.

About play: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farragut_North_(play) (Apparently it's based on Howard Dean's presidential run in 2004- there was talk of a movie, but that was almost two years ago, so who knows.)

HO-LEE GAWD.

What is it about you folks that I get inspired to do this madcap shite? First* it was ladybracknell 's trip to DC last fall, then a visit to Rusty in January, and now I'm buying tickets off a poster on ontd_startrek and flying off to see Jess. What's next? Paula in Buenos Aires? Tati in Germania? WHAT MADNESS AWAITS?!

Must go running now. Have to look haute for play.

*and yes, there was Josh and Jenny.

Also, if you are an icon-maker, or just a rabid vampire fangirl, you NEED to go to dj_capslock and check out the "Day Watch" caps. "Day Watch" is a Russian vampire flick based on a novel of the same name, which is a sequel to "Night Watch". It's about two groups of 'pires- one Dark one Light- keeping the peace and trying to survive. The director is responsible for "Wanted"- which is sex- and he packed "Day Watch" (and presumably it's predecessor) with the same awesome effects. If you can find a version online WATCH. IT.

ETA: If you've heard about the Metro collision and are now rethinking your plans to visit the area, don't. Shit happens. We're fine and we want you to come and see us.

ETA2: I still have 2 DW codes, so if you're reading this and are annoyed because you can't comment here on LJ, let me know and I'll hook you up.

The play is set in DC but its being performed in LA. The East Coast premiere was in NYC a year or two ago. But of course I'm flying over to the West Coast to see it. Because that makes sense in bizarro world (also, didn't know about the play when it was in New York). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farragut_North_(play)

Will do! Andi might drive down as well, so it will be great to meet her as well if she can make it. I'm hoping she and Jess can calm me down so we don't have a repeat of the Nic Cannon debacle (a story for another time- I am a dork when it comes to talking to famous people, which is stupid, because they're just... famous).

Thanks. Yeah, the crash happened on the other end of the red line- my stop is on the other side of DC. My friend Patti, who I talk about sometimes on my blog, would have been on that train (but in one of the back cars) if her hubs hadn't been unable to drive her to the station. She ended up driving herself to work and home again, thus missing the crash. I am so very glad she's okay.

I suppose that Chris Pine plays the youthful communications guru. You'll have a great time. Just have Jess kick you if you start stumbling in front of Chris (if you happen to meet him, that is). :)

Patti got lucky. That is one of those weird fate things that sends chills down your spine (or maybe it is the freezing cold air conditioning).

Good call! I think it says in the entry that the play is based on the writer's experiences (though I'm guessing he did not get intern nookie). I'm excited. Andi says Jess will keep me from going all fangirly, which is good. I've got my fingers crossed. According to posters on ontd_trek he seems willing to greet and pose for pictures.

And yes, she did. She usually sits in the back of the train anyway, so I'm sure she would have been fine, but still- better not to have been in that situation at all.

And no, that's not the AC talking...
