OK... I Fell of the TURNIP TRUCK...
Now.... I should preface this post by saying that I am an east coast girl raised 30 minutes outside of Manhattan. I lived around the Tri-State area until the late 90's.....
Why did I not see RENT????? I have seen La Boheme' at the Met in NY.
I missed RENT?
So.... now I am ADDICTED to the movie. The music is amazing.... I have seen another Jonathan Larson play... TICK TICK BOOM! My buddy was actually the bass player. I cant believe it took until 2006 for me to see how amazing the story is.
It helps that I think Jesse L. Martin is amazing.
On the knitting front... I am actually taking a break from socks and knitting the felted messenger bag from Knitty. I can't wait until I can felt it.
OK.... I am going back to watching RENT. I think there is something wrong with me.

Hahaha, I haven't seen Rent, but your post kind of makes me want to. Plus, I love the top banner on your blog. So, so pretty!
Rent is on my Netflix queue, but I am familiar with the music. Wonderful music!
Nothing's wrong. RENT is awesome. I can't get enough of it myself. I think you might need to get yourself the soundtrack, then you can have RENT on the road.
I've seen RENT 3 times (twice in Buffalo and once on Broadway). I have the soundtracks (the movie and the original cast on broadway), and the movie, and love them all!
Don't get me STARTED on Jessie L. Martin (never saw his latest tv show, but if I did, I'd never get to knit). I'm still shuddering from that other show he was on, you know, what's her face? Uhm. The attorney?
No day like today.... to watch or listen to Rent :o)
I'm a late comer to the play too.
But I have fallen in love with it too!

Hello there Mama-E! Hope your weekend went well. Just a note to let you know that I'm having a contest over at my blog if you want to enter. Can't wait to see the felted messenger bag!
Charm City!!!??
It was great meeting you as well. :D
Oh, my god we could have talked for hours about Rent tonight... my major in college was musical theatre performance, and when we studied that show (it was brand new then) the professor had to ask me about it, because I knew everyword.
LOVE it.
I want to be Idina Menzel (she plays Maureen) when (if) I grow up!
