that little countdown thingy has been updated to show all cities up thru seattle. 

i put up a couple of new (old la jolla) pix of mark and andy.

there's a new article from dallas yesterday.

the opening dates for hartford & costa mesa have changed.  hartford opens may 15th, costa mesa august 5th.  both theatres are saying no previews.

and speaking of d'monroe, a couple of new pics of him are up (more gail?) :-)

the link to the canadian board has been updated, they have a new one.

Album Of The Year Time Out Of Mind Bob Dylan

Best Male Rock Vocal Performance Cold Irons Bound Bob Dylan

i could *not* stay logged on during that mondo storm.

put up a new pic of neil & christian, and another from tempe of brent & jasmine.

and one of the nite ernest gave andy & mark those oinking pigs - look at their faces!   LOL!  :-)

still updating the carla pictures, and i've begun to seriously update the bios section (it's about time).  anyone have pix of scott hunt or adam?

a bunch of new boards have gone up and i've put them on the links page, along with a link to rubenfeld's RENT canada site.

there's a couple of new pix of carla up from her last nite here (and i cut all you guys out of the picture cuz you all look like crap - LOL! - there were too many tears shed that nite).   hey, carla was at "bright lights, big city" in ny last nite.

and in case you haven't seen it yet, a message from jim (read me).

i think the seattle dates are a little more defined.  check the tour dates section for more detail.  thanx mich!

and surprise surprise, they still have tickets available for august 15th.  if you're interested, let me know.  here's the blurb from work about them again.

anyone else want to add your city to the countdown?  *you* get to count up the days and let me know!  ;-)

rja will be putting up some of the stuff from lifecafe on her site.   just let her know what you'd like to see.

i've been working on a new board and it's up now - can't think of a better time... you can get there from this link, or over on the menu under the board.  you already have some good company there - love you wilson & steven!  :-)

elizabeth sent me a copy of the first ad in houston - thanks honey!

and would whoever is posting as me on the benny board Knock It Off.  that post under the "benny wish" thread and another under the "understudies" thread is NOT me.  i've asked jim to remove them.  wtf - just chill.

i changed the guestbook today so if you sign it, you won't be able to view your signage until the following day. 

i've been updating various areas on the site.  it's been neglected for awhile.  i'm getting mail from all these new ppl who are just now seeing the tour asking what the deal is - why i have so many pix up of some (ahem, d'monroe) of none of others.  i have *stacks* of pictures i haven't put up.  i'm workin' on it... 

sharon is leaving the tour on feb 18th.

and brent in tempe - w00 h00!  what a cutie!

go visit mike shapiro's newly renovated (withalittlehelpfromhisfriends) site - he's just put up a bunch of wavs of wilson.   very cool!

In regards to this "MSCLANGEL" person, IT'S NOT ME!!! It's so weird that people do that. Please post that it's not me ... because I don't want to be responsible for whatever this person is saying."

whoever you are msclangel - chill.

christian & pierre, we miss you too guys! 

speaking of wilson, i've put up some more pics of him from various times in la jolla & l.a., (and one from n.y.), and another from his last nite here.

anthony's film "david searching" was very cool!  funny, touching, ant was wonderful.   there were lots of RENT type references, like -"last nite - i had a dream" said in exactly the same way.  ant played david, a documentary filmmaker - so he always had his camera with him.  :-) the film was made right b4 RENT.   it will be showing in ny on march 13th, and opening in l.a. in april.  go see it if you can!  the director, leslie smith, stayed after the screening to talk and answer questions.  he was a good friend of jonathan's.  it was great to hear some of the exploits during filming and bits of personal information.  go see it!

rentmom, mizzkaytee & i are going to see ant's new film screening in hollywood tonite.  think he'll show?

wilson's been busy!   :-)  and i updated the wilson sighting's page again.

and check out amber's guestbook too!

from the ny times yesterday - wilson in "all over me".  w00 h00!  :-)

the hole-in-the-wall-gang (aka laura, shaun, bryan, amber, max & stacey) (aka l.a. rentrats in tempe).

wc, you made my nite/day!  love you!   :-)

i put up a cute new pic of max, bry & laura and and another of leigh & tiffany from tempe.

pierre & brent!  from closing in l.a.

i'm getting some RAVE reviews from dallas folks!  w00 h00!

jim already put these up but i need some kirk pix, so these are katie's from l.a.

someone "chastised" me the other day for not being more 'informative' on this site, rather than entertaining.  sheesh! (mine & RentMom's word of the month).  so okay, i've put info up on all the remaining tour dates/places thru seattle (altho seattle dates are *really* sketchy at the moment - and look what they've done to adam & daphne - can you say CIRCUS?).

while i was doing that, i came across this "rent lecture" in hartford.  someone go to this when it comes up and tell me what this was about!

anything else you want to see?  send me feedback.

more from tempe:  a gorgeous pic of laura.  and another of d'monore.   and leigh.  and mark packing up his runnin' shoes.

and from l.a. - a good pic of the elusive ron.

anyone going to the apla benefit on the 12th to see idina?  i called today - rosie is supposed to be there and a bunch of other ppl too.   write me & let me know if you're going.

it doesn't get any better than these two - julia & brent.

goodbye curt.  we'll miss you.  

christian prepping for his transition to mark in toronto. 

and of course max with his home for the weekend - the golf cart!

happy birthday jonathan - you're loved & missed

a couple of pix from tempe are up.  w00 h00!

i haven't even finished developing all of the l.a. last pix yet,  but mike put his up last night... go here!

from dallas:

"COME MEET THE CAST OF RENT! The Benny Cast will perform "Seasons of Love" and sign autographs on February 13th between 4-5PM. Come to Borders Books & Music @ Lovers Lane."

my isp is having major problems tonight (big storm here) - can't do much of anything so i'm callin' it a nite.

you can read about the line drama on the board - bry and max posted about all that and other details.  pix will be up later this week - including max's bed - the golf cart!

sunday mat owen was on as roger.  can i just say how much i love this guy?!  my city boy front man!  yes, he really sang that - not that anyone else noticed but we laughed about it after the show - he had a momentary lapse of memory - haha!

the last show was very sad, with curt leaving.  he could barely get thru sol and made it really hard to watch, he was killin' me up there.  it was pretty much all tears from there on, and after the show ppl were really torn up.

it was a fun weekend.  bry, max, amber, stacey, laura, tiffany, tina, donna & shaun (you ROCK shaun!) - miami?   gotta go see brent's new thong right!  doh!  :-)

and before i forget, to those of you who heard christian and i talking about his leaving the benny tour to take over the role of mark in toronto - it was a JOKE!  please don't start that rumor - we were just playin'!   and all the posts on the board about him leaving before costa mesa - he has no idea on that guys so chill.

kirk's bio from the tempe playbill is up.
