Hollywood Bowl: RENT

The last time I watched RENT was in New York back when Joey Fatone played Mark Cohen. I was young, crazy and completely in love with *NSYNC and Joey Fatone. I waited after the show at the backstage door just to get a glimpse of Joey to take a quick snapshot. Oh and boy did I get a good shot. In that big crowd of other crazies, Joey spotted me. Our eyes locked and he smiled. My knees got weak and as I started to lift up my camera to snap the shot. He pointed out to me and winked.

Winked!

I almost died right then and there. Our moment was almost over, what was I suppose to do again? Was I holding a camera to document this ultra lame event so I could show it to my children 20 years from now? So I could tell them of this life changing tale, as they roll their eyes at their lame mother. Shit! My camera! My picture!

Thank you Joey Fatone for making RENT so memorable for me. And now, thank you Neil Patrick Harris for directing this ultra all star cast and for making it just as awesome as it was the first time around for me. Please note that Vanessa Hudgens was kinda horrible. I would replace that mess quick. But Nicole Scherzinger... hmmmmm... damn..... she killed it as Maureen. AMAZING.

Looks like it was a great night. Obviously.
