...yeah, an audience member near me said that. So, this is the thread to celebrate the awesomeness that LSS, and the afterparty (not the official one, though!). All snide jokes, in-jokes, and all other things that make no sense can be thrown around here. 1067 girls- femural pulse, anyone? Swelling or bruising? Unwinding's PJ pants and *SNERK*. J&H on the balconyand "OMG was that him? No, random bald guy..." My pick of the bunch? *CLUMP* and Tony's beer nuts  |

"Save a Gondola, Ride a Phantom" - utter humiliation in front of Anthony, although Roy got a kick out of it. Simon's smirk to Vanessa in every single show, Ben's face when he came out stagedoor and was greeted by a mob of screaming fangirls. 4am conversations, and then getting only 4 hours sleep!

Bec, you running back to us on Sat night screaming "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Me NOT throwing the almonds at Julie's head. Or spear-chucking the roses
Ant when Josh put his mask on for the photo... or rather, when Josh was MADE to put his mask on for the photo: "Hehe, he looks ridiculous!" *correct me girls if i quoted wrong*
Roy using the term "homo-erotic" whilst standing right next to me
Roy calling the Robin Hood experience "yeh..... interesting..."
David's arse-scratch/wedgy manouvere during Hannibal
Getting given the Piazza poster by John
Simon's eyebrows during Hannibal
Vanessa's sash
The cheers/cat calls we gave Derek when he revealed his skeleton suit
The sign in our bathroom at Star City that read:

"He smells SO nice!"
It's down there, just put it in!
"You think this is my knee I'm scratching?"
Does anyone know how long a Sharpie is?
"Please tell me he's a Mother fan!"
"Let's strut *singing Let Me Entertain You*.....Argh! Clump! Clump!"

Watching *that* scene in Robin Hood: Das Musical
Staying up until 2 in the morning and not feeling tired ((mum was tired, that's why we left))
"Me and my cheeky smile."
"We look great together, like Wallace and Grommit; I don't know who's who."
The fact that Ant put on the badge.
((The fact that he came out at all!))
"Monseur" in The Final Lair.
Getting to meet almost all of the cast, with autographs and photos in procession.
Getting the oppertunity to personally thank everyone - bar Bowles - who signed the petition.
Piangi's tongue.

Getting hugged by Kathleen - getting remebered by Kathleen! Ditto for John. Heck, ditto for Roy! Giving Mar a cuddle or two! And then getting teary over it and feeling like an utter moron!  Deciding it was prefectly reasonable to sing this in a crowded Star City bathroom: "We're off to see the Phantom, the wonderful Phantom of Oz I hear he is Warlow the Wiz if ever a Phantom was! If ever a Phantom rocked in Oz Then Warlow did, and that's because Because because because because becaaaaaauuuuuuse Because he sings beautifully, yes he does! We're off to see Sir Warlow, the wonderful Phantom of Oz!" |

- The Phantom drinking game.
- Vanessa blocking her ears on Friday.
- Ant's, "I can't hear you," gesture on Sunday.
- Leaving Nessa earplugs.

- Turning our apartment into a florist.
- The shower's acoustics.
- Unwinding in the kitchen.
- Running barefoot through Sydney to get to Wednesday's matinee.
- Stage door stakeout from our balcony.

2. Chatting to John O'May after the show *sigh*
3. The photo with Julie... with Amy asleep in the background
4. Hitting a hat-trick of Ant performances and disappointing Amy.

6. Meeting phantomsphriend (in full costume) by the Lyric
7. Screaming at David Rogers-Smith... and having him scream back

11. MEETING ANT! (also add: getting his autograph and being hugged by him)
12. Having Ant laugh at my shaking hand while trying to take a photo (hence the term: anti-shake. He said to me "I hope that's got anti-shake on it", so I said "Well, you're Ant and I'm shaking!")
13. FINALLY finding the other US members
14. Mar's face after getting Hello Panda (thusly re-named Hello Phantom)

Ant's "mabye" to the OTHER fangirls on Sat night WHERE ARE THEY NOW? *was the meaning behind that ever resolved? was it what we assumed?* me start-stop-start-stop-deflate three times in a row when spotting James *the boy moves fast* Bec saying "Neh, just run onto the street!!! It worked for me!!!" The mini Ant-teasers (and Mar and me forgetting about the big packets we'd already purchased) The amount of seemingly total strangers walking up to me and saying "Neh?" whilst i had a second of thinking WHO ARE YOU, EVIL STALKER?! "OMG THERE COULD BE A PIAZZA, THERE COULD BE A BLOODY PIAZZA!!!!" - right in front of Jackie. And i'm assuming John too. Why i chuckled every time i went into the bathroom:  |

- After a few drinks: "Let's go doorknocking!" - The Gong moments on the plane- Pilot: "If you have a look out your windows, we're currently flying over Wollongong" Me: *squee* - The Big W - "He probably associates me with taxis now" - How could she give him the Gerik?!?! - The new rule: No one goes to Subway alone! - Let's just take the posters....can we?....we'll take them anyway! - Almost saying "Your PORN in amazing" to Julie. I managed to get "Point of no return" out first. - Distracting the Poms by hiding behind a pillar and yelling "OH MY GOD! MR WARLOW!" up the street. - Warning the cast, and the resultant backstage note. - Realising I don't fit next to Ant when his arm's around me  Our shoulders are the same height. - Woohoo-ing the skeleton suit. - Every time someone rang the doorbell: "Mr Waaaaaaaaaaaarloooooooooow" - Every time Josh came back: "I saw him again" |

At spotting him.
My great quotes from the weekend...
"His talking voice is so much better than his singing, and why did he go so quiet at the end"
"I'm glad to see that they remained so faithful to the movie"
Bec legging it up the street yelling"Mr Warlow, Mr Warlow"
and Ant saying "lets get off the road"

I can't remember what it was about, just that I laughed. A lot! And maybe it was 1am, not 2am. I'm old and have short term memory loss. Which is preferable to short term mammary loss!

Our shoulders are the same height.
