Like a dog in space

If people want more details on the content of the play, or intelligent thoughts on Gale's acting, I'll totally provide it. Right now, however, I am having way too much of a fangirl attack to even attempt it. So instead, here's some squee!

Thursday went to see the Young Playwright Festival, which Gale is in. It's a series of plays written by people under the age of 19. They do 3 each weekend, and Gale's was one of the ones that ran this week. Two plays came before it, then a break, then the play with Gale, which felt longer than the other two, but I couldn't say for sure. 

On the way in to the play the first time, we were standing in the lobby embarrassingly early. We didn't wanna be LATE, and we wanted good seats and we thought maybe other fans might show. But we were really the only ones there. So I was like "Uh we should go, we're gonna seem like such creeps if Gale gets here and sees us." And just as we're considering this, I look down the stairs and THERE HE IS. So I turn around as FAST as I can, give my buddies an OSHIT look, and start to walk away slowly. Basically, wanted to give him as much space as possible, instead of making him deal with us. HOWEVER, he got to the top of the steps, saw us (because uh, he's not blind), and smiled (GUH that amazing wide toothy Gale smile that kills me) and said "Hello" (GUH) and then walked up into the stage area. And we were like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we left and walked around a bit before coming back, because just STANDING there seemed like... something a creeper would do. And although I am a creeper, I'm trying not to let Gale know. ;)

That was it for that night, the play was awesome, he came out to bow with everyone on stage after. But then the actors all talked on stage and he left, and it didn't feel like an appropriate time to approach him.

BUT THEN. TONIGHT. We considered not even going since we're going to go for the last day on Sunday, too. Three times in one weekend, uhhhh... stalker much? >_> But we had nothing else planned so we were like EH LET'S GO. Plus it's like... super close to the hotel. So we head over, get some food, and go to the theater. We're standing in the lobby - FAR more reasonably on time this time, like 10 minutes before the doors open. We're there in the lobby just looking around at people and waiting, and then THERE'S SCOTT.

Scott got to the top of the stairs and stood at the ticket booth thingie, talking to some people. We just stared like O___O OSHIT IT'S SCOTT WHUUUUT. ..Just like that. We didn't approach him because it seemed rude to bother him when he was there to see Gale's play. I figured if he was still around after and not busy looking I might just say  hi.

So then I see someone that LOOKS like Peter, and I'm like "is that...? NAHHH." ...BUT IT IS. Peter came up to Scott and they were talking all happy and stuff. Peter looked up and saw us both gaping at him like O.O and kinda LOOKED at us. So my buddy raised her hand and did a tiny wave, and I did my pathetic nervous smile. He grinned and did a little wave back, then turned back to Scott. PETER WAVED AT US DURRR I FEEL COOL.

SO. We go inside, find some seats (I totally wanted to sit near them but it would have been too obvious since we were some of the first people in to the theater and I REALLY didn't wanna make them uncomfortable. So we sat a few rows in front of them. We're sitting there waiting, and glancing back now and then at them to giggle while the theater fills up. AND THEN...

RANDY HARRISON WALKS IN THE ROOM. I'm not even joking. I was like "IS THAT???? NOOOOOOOO. NAHHHH. NO WAY." But it was. He was there. I've never met him or seen him in person before. HE'S SO TINY. What does he weigh, like 90 pounds?! Adorable. Except his weird beard thing, but that's just me, I don't like blond beards. XD ANYWAY... he came in and sat down with Scott and Peter, and a few women that were with them that appeared to be close friends. (Didn't see Yara, Gale's girlfriend last I heard - are they still together? Dunno.) He was wearing super tight jeans that I wonder how he got them on, and a lilac cardigan open over a t-shirt or something. I don't usually notice people's clothing much, but LILAC SWEATERS on men stick out. XD He's adorable. ...But he totally caught my eye and I WHIPPED my head around, because the look on his face was "Are there any fans here? STAY AWAY." Which I TOTALLY respect and understand, they were not there to get hassled.

So I had absolutely no intention of talking to them since they were all there together to see Gale. Gale was beautiful and amazing and even better than he was yesterday. He's not the main character in the play and it is short - the equivalent of one act, I guess? I dunno, I'm tired, I stared at Gale so hard I have no idea how much time passed. XD But the parts he was in were amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. <3 <3 <3 Also you get to hear him say a few Russian names and words, and the accent was totally hot. <3

We hung out a few minutes after the play ended and all the bowing and stuff was over. Gale stayed on stage for a bit talking to people, then went over and hugged Scott. D'AWWWUH BEST FWIENDS. <3 Then he headed back stage to change and stuff. Scott, Peter, and Randy disappeared, so we got up to leave. That's when we got to the top of the steps and I saw them standing a few yards away and I FELL ON MY FACE. Okay, just my knees. But there was a step, and I didn't see it. WOOOOWWWWW. Luckily, their backs were ALL TURNED. Phew. XD ...But some guy working there was like ARE YOU OKAY?!?! D= ...Yes. Thanks. >_>;; I'm fine.

So we headed down to the street and decided to just hang out a bit and see them leave because we wanted a good look at Randy's butt to see if it's really heart shaped because we might get to wave at them once more. >_> First Peter left by himself, and we were like HEHE THERE GOES PETER but he was walking fast and we let him go without hassling him. XD Then Randy came out, with one of the girls they were with, some close friend of his - WEARING HIS LILAC SWEATER. (Sorry. I can't get over it. LILAC. <3 ) They headed down the street and we leered at his butt and they left. Also, he has nice hair.

THEN, pretty soon after that Gale came out with his bodyguards, Scott and some women that were his friends I guess. Except they all walked around him, so he was in the middle of the group. This is the same way he walked when I saw him in NY (a year ago?) leaving the theater. He didn't even see us, because we were standing a respectful distance away, not like IN FRONT of the door or anything. He had on one of his cute hats, and a man bag over one shoulder. XD Oh, and his jeans. Guh. Those legs. They went ahead of us and were stopped at a crosswalk, so we didn't follow them - didn't wanna seem like stalkers. (I guess I am. :\ But not really?)  As they crossed the street, Gale pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. But he didn't light it yet, they just walked ahead with his cigarette sticking out of his mouth. I am the kinda person who's never smoked and wouldn't date someone who does (because health risks, also I'm allergic) - but jesus fuckin' christ that man is hot no matter what he does. He makes smoking look hot. FFFFFFFFFFFF.

So that was it. <3 <3 <3 GAAAAAAAAAAAALE. We're going Sunday. He's seen us there twice and we didn't even walk towards him or anything. The only time we SPOKE was when he said hello first, and we gave him lots of room. So we're hoping on Sunday we get a chance just to say "Gale, awesome play. =D" or something. Nothing offensive, but... I can't resist at least saying hi... maybe he'll smile at me again. x.x Ded. <3

THAT IS MY REPORT OF MAGICAL MAGIC TIME WITH GALE AND FRIENDS. I can't believe I saw all those guys together, it was amazing. I totally had NO IDEA they would be there, we seriously considered NOT going to the play tonight since we're seeing it again on Sunday, but at the last minute we were like eh, let's go. SO WORTH IT. BEST TIME EVER. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.

:3 I know people like to share sightings, so if you wanna link other people to this post it's fine, but I'd appreciate if you'd let me know. It's fun to know who's reading my posts. ^_^

Also, tell me if you want more details on anything or the play or whatever. I'm just incoherent and exhausted and full of squee right now.

UPDATE: Apparently Michelle was there, too! O___O I totally did not recognize her, although now I can see the women sitting with them in my mind and wow, yeah, that was her. Weird. XD She really looks different in real life!!!!
