I'm thrilled to announce that tomorrow at midnight (2.16.08) I will be dropping another new Video Blog. I know that we were supposed to be opening the UrInTown store but our graphic designer has been swamped with ideas for merch and will be unable to open it this week :( But in turn, you'll get a great Vlog with a score of fantastic guest stars.

and um...
i'm so excited. sweet.
wait andrew have you heard that TBD is supposed to put out a video of out-takes and bloopers and stuff on the 15th of every month? is that happening?
Ohhh...hope the store gets up and running soon!! It's awesome to hear that there are so many ideas, hopefully that means there will be tons and tons of snazzy things to buy ^-^
:(:(. Oh well, vlogs are great.
Sorta bummed about the store, but at least there's still a vlog to look forward too!
A bit disappointed about the store, but the blog is AWESOME compensation. I love ittt.
Oh my god, Benj Pasek is going to be on the blog?!?!? Yayy, I'm even more excited then usual! And I love that you're posting a blog on the weekend so I can be there for the midnight posting for once!! =)
OMG!!!! BENJ!!!!
tonight. midnight. the return of 20 Questions: Musical Theater Edition????? What do you guys think?
Sounds good! I'm up for it. :)
Hmm, will the official blog chat take place here...?
bring on the hattie merchandise
We're having the blog chat again correct?? SWEET.
Incase there's a blog chat tonight and I miss it cos I'll be asleep here in the UK ( =( ) this is my input:
YAY IM EXCITED
xxx
PS Have fun tonight if there is a chat ;)

In which time zone is Andrew located right now? Cuz he just ended in Toronto on the 10th. And the show opens in Arizona on the 19th. So Andrew, if you see this in time, could you drop us note so we know (approximately) when the video will be up? Gracias.
By the way, my friend is vising her grandparents in Arizona and they're bringing her to see the show. :) I'm so excited for her. I'll tell her to say hi to you for me.
I think the online store for Benj are a fair trade off. I'm actually also waiting for the new Pasek and Paul store to open so I can get my hot little hands on the new Edges songs. So maybe I can put my "Along the Way" sheet music in my totes tote.
3 minutes, EST!
Gogogo! =D And so it begins.
hurray!
12:02... :( where art thou?
i'm here!
yay
Anyone want cookies?
..loneliness
so i may be a little slow responding tonight, sorry......
same...i'm watching understudy vids of several different musicals on youtube.
nice. i'm drinking and watching friends with some, well, friends....
Hey my fellow AKBlog fans!
So I'm wondering which time zone he meant by midnight...lol. Anyone know? :)
Some interesting friends, I hope? ;) I'm actually half baking cookies.
I was wondering the same thing...
great friends. theater majors at the college i went to.
what kind of cookies.
and midnight usually means 4-6am anyway, haha
haha. that's true...
oh my god LOL I'm on my iPhone right now LOL waiting to see the blog but it is gonna be out of batteries in 34 minutes so I reeally hope the blogs up soon!!
Oooh, theater friends, some of the best kinds!
They're chocolate chip cookies with white chocolate chips. Except I'm eating too much dough.
And @Holly... I wish I knew, too. I'm pretty sure central time again...
good luck, hun
4-6 am? Wow. Don't think that I can wait up for that, lol. :)
I just finished watching Footloose (had actually never seen it before), so I had to run on over to Urintown to watch Somebody's Eyes again... lol.
yummy cookies!!!
lol i love that vid!!
i usually wait up until like 2am and then go to bed and don't watch it until noon the next day
We need to make this blog the biggest record for comments thus far on Andrew's Blog. :]
That'd be amazing. =)
lol yep. 1am sounds like bedtime for me...
Yeah, that video's great. I love Andrew and all the hats/roles. He's hilarious. :)
Biggest record? lol. AKB needs a site chatroom.
Alright m'dears, I'm off to Youtube for a bit. Have fun. ;)
You're right. It needs one just for blog premieres, haha.
i've been thinking that. we need and actual chat to make this more condusive to our lifestyle. we need a petition to AKB
I've now watched TBD outake video far too many times while I wait for this one to go up... But soon it wont be enough and I'll really, really need my AKB fix :P
I've watched so many videos today that I'm watching the Spain production of the original staging of Phantom of the Opera (in Spanish). :)
And I'm looking for lyrics and can't find them. :(
I saw the AKB blog with Benj earlier today and it was SOOO good.
I've also watched TBD bloopers FAR too many times, anyone else die laughing when Cort pushes ryan into the closet like 3 times and laughing! so funny
It would be awesome if the chat box could happen.
And OMG, I agree, TBD's outtakes are totes amazing.
Oh my god, the outtakes were amazing. I love Nina more and more everytime I see her in something. I loved how there were like a million outtakes on the slap scene.
@ corey- yes! love it
I only wish there was the backstage story to Nina punching the beggar in "this is your life" because that may be my favourite moment ever caught on video, ever :)
I felt sorry for Jake after Cortney slapped him sooo many times, but nonetheless it was funny.
i can barely remember life with out akb and tbd.....
HAHA. Seriously. Staying up late, those long convos about nothing, and waiting for a blog that wouldn't be put up until AFTER we went to bed.
hehe I know it right?
what did we all do before these fabulous vids? (other than watch the urintown youtube account obsessively..
I know! It was simply a life not worth living without them.
do you remember the vid that first got you watching the urintown account?
mine was "ease on down the road" still one of my faves.
ease on down was the first one I favourited on my own account..but I'm not sure which got me addicted..it was one from that video cycle though I think...
i adore ease on down. i watch it at least a couple times a week
I came across them sort of late, so my first urintown video was the first spelling bee blog.
Andrew's Blog actually first introduced me to Urintown, I'm so glad he did. :)
so now I've watched ease on down again..gah I love it..its just happy-making izzint it? :D
I'M HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!
hey chrissy! :)
Hello my lovahsss!
Haha now we're gonna party, huh?
CHRISSY!!!!!!!!!
not saying that we aren't the BEST party there is, but where the beans are drew and maggie?
Heyyy! I feel so out of the loop cuz I've never been able to like be awake for one of these things.. haha.
i have NO clue. haven't talked to either of them since 20 questions.
It's ok. It's completely random and fun. :)
I feel the same. Well, hopefully he releases another blog next week, I'm on vaca :)
no worries anon, this is the first time I've actually participated in, rather than just read along with, the comments..so I'm an out of the looper too
Same here, but it's okay. Eryn and I shall entertain everyone in the meantime.
"She gets a teaset?!?!"
Oh whatever, I'll just put my real name. It's less confusing with all the anonymouses. =)
Yeah, I've always read them afterwards and been like "Mannn, I wish I wasn't in high school.."
Same deal here, haha. xD
Well, now it's past midnight central time.
sorry, guys got distracted.
i'm a bad chatter tonight....
I'm so glad more peeps are getting involved though.
I totes want AKB to "hire" me to run chats for him. It would make my life worth while.
AKB isn't very good at keeping his word about posting times, is he? Haha. That's okay, I guess he makes up for it in other areas.
heheh we should have someone officalize this by running it...yikes my spelling/typing always gets worse as night wears on..looks like my comments are starting to fall victim :P
Go for it, Eryn. You can show ppl your crazy game idea thinking skills.
i know what you mean, my spelling gets crazy too. not on this comment i guess tho
how does one make a chat??
is it bad that i always think my head is going to explode whenever akb claims he's posting a video?
I bet AKB purposely puts off posting his blog so he can laugh at us chatters as we say crazy stuff. o:
Eryn - I think there's this embedder where you can create a chatroom and ppl can create their own names and chat. I've seen them on people's xangas. And yeah. I get the rush when AKB announces a new vid.
maybe i'll work on that before next time?
vid announcements always make my day too... especially this one, when it came after the fall of no merch...
Here are some chat embed programs: Gabbly, Meebo and Stickam. I use meebo and you can use basically any screen name from any service and have all your different screen names from all services under one account on one list.
one of these days he's going to post a video with the most ridiculous comments on his blog. and we're all going to be mocked. but it'll be okay, because it's all akb's fault.
I totes just wanted to say I love the akb chat, and I'm a proud member of the OBC (Original Blog-Comment Chat) of this, as in the time where there were like 200 some comments. I think we should try to break that record waiting for him to post the new vid
~Cameron
But yeah. Eryn, if you're busy I can do it if you don't mind.
Heyy no one should be held accountable for what they say at 1 AM.
whatevs, we're like, quasi, quasi internet celebs now! haha
we have tens of people that know who we are!
I wouldn't mind getting mocked by AKB, cause at least I'd get recognized by him! :P
I think AKB should be in on the chat thing..not like participate if he doesnt want to, but be able to incorporate it in the blog site if he wants...but, I'm not a techno kid, and have no idea how these things work, so maybe I'm totes wrong about this...
haha. eryn you're prob the biggest celeb.
andrew, you totes should!! (can i be your partner in crime???
did I just get 100?
Haha, OBC, I like that. I think AKB should post vids on the weekend more often. Cuz this is fun. =)
I actually have one created....but I don't know where you guys want me to embed it.
But the chat widget would decrease AKB's number of comments on his posts.
embed it into the facebook group, silly!
im kind of a quasi quasi celeb because cortney wolfson know who i am...lol
Oh just to give you something to do why you wait, go watch TBD outtakes if you haven't already. Okay, who am I kidding, everyone probably already has, but go watch them again!
andrew, you are AMAZING!!!
AKB will totes be into this!
IT'S MIDNIGHT! I'M DRUNK AND I WANT AN UPDATE TO CHEER ME UP!
oh then nevermind, dont embed it.
lets just keep flooding the blog with comments, as usual
officially jealous of Chrissy. haha
HAHA. That's right. I'll do that right now...
facebook group? wah! I didnt even think to look for one, though I'm in the TBD one..wonder how that happened..
Eryn, I second that. I'm jealous too. Butbut, I've met Chelsea Krombach, if that counts for anything! =)
Yeah. So I'll just leave it and not embed it. Cuz I don't want to spoil the fun. We could just use it when we want to chat on facebook. It's more intense refreshing twenty times a minute.
um Chrissy, I'm jeals of you too, because Cortney is amazing and I can't wait until she's a well known b'way diva!
this one time last summer, i went to an audition and cortney was there with her boyfriend and we sat together and bullshitted for like 20 minutes. then she reviewed her sheet music.
it's like Christmas when there are new comments...
Chrissy, I am totes totes jealous!
I can't wait to meet AKB when the Bee comes to Cleveland!
And AKB's always like....WHOA after he sees how many comments are left.
Wait. Chrissy! Would you like to explain? :)
http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v110/132/0/84106579/n84106579_30532059_3980.jpg
i figured y'all might like this, even though im totes fat.
you can't say jealous. you have to say "jeals" it's waayyy more akb. haha
Chrissy, ahh! My heart! I wish that was me! =)
AWESOME! I'm so jealous! Was this when she was in Les Miz?
it was an out of this world experience.
my encounter with jake was pretty cool, except for the fact i didnt have my camera out that day.
i want to see the akbee but i don't think i'll get to. boo.
andrew, didn't you say there's a way to do a chat that would ccount as comments? am i confused?
would akb have to make it?
yep, it was when she was in les mis.
summer 07, ftw.
Luckyy. Cortney is so incredible! For some reason the first time I put that in the URL I got a teeny tiny picture of a chair or something and I was like "Wtf..??" But then it worked..
so chrissy, when I follow that link I get a small picture of the left side of a couch and table
:(
Oh no. It wouldn't count as comments since it's a widget for an outisde program. :(
I saw AKB when he came to Buffalo and died. =)
a couch? how creepy and weird!
The video is up, AKB just has it set on private. I'm sure he'll update anytime soon.
I wanted more nina too!!! she cracked me up with that clown... lol
I am so jealous err, jeals* :P I could just about die! :)
lol totes symbolic for 'empty chairs at empty tabls' from les mis.
...see what i did there? thats what i do.
that's it. we need a fan site ;-)
nice connection Chrissy.....ten points!
for reals, eryn. for reals.
Grr. AKB is trying to see if we can break the record. ;]
Hmm... FAN SITE! :) And maybe forums?
Haha.
Someone try to hack into akb's account and set the vid for public.
I bet the password is totes.
lol.
Actually, don't do it.
That would be bad.
But yeah Chrissy, I still have NO luck!
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY, Andrew!!!!!
We're halfway there....
Wouldn't it be amazing if he was only an hour and a half late? It'd be so proud, AKB!
fan site is a must! forums could be fun too...
I'll never survive if we gotta break the record before it updates :) what'd you all get 340 or something? wow! (was awesomest thing ever btw)
http://i25.tinypic.com/2dgvp89.jpg
better, cameron?
I have a week of break...so maybe something might come out of this vacation? :D
Fansite and forums, ftw! It must be done!
Actually, I also have a livejournal community I made dedicated to him.
i still havent seen the akbee yet.
i have, however, seen the ckbee...9 times.
Yay.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd
TOTES JEALS.
I'm late. =(
Oh well.
START THE FANSITE!!!
I wanna be John Hancock and have the first topic.
Haha
Hopefully I'll see AKB in the beginning of March when the tour comes to California! Even though it's a two and a half hour drive to Sacramento...my friends and I are determined to go.
off topic but...
other than benj, who do you think is among the "scores of guest stars" that AKB mentions?
NINE times?? Jeez! I really want to see Celia when Saved! comes out, because I love her, and I love that movie. I have seen AKB once though!
well,
probably the other duo member of pasek&paul.
I hope you all watched "God Hate Musicals" it totes made my day when I saw it earlier!
Hates***
oops
oh, about saved!.
i totes sent my headshot and resume into playwrights horizons to play cassandra in the show...just waiting for them to call me and let me know when i can go in for an audition.
so...y'all come see me when i get cast, k? k.
Omg. God Hates Musicals is so ftw!
Definitely Chrissy! That would be totes awesome!
That's so awesome, Chrissy! I hope you get the part. :D I'd see you and point and say, "I knew her from the AKB blog chats! Good times. :'D"
I'll find a way to go see Saved! I don't know if I can get up to NYC any time soon.. So you'll just have to make sure that you and Celia stay in the show for while for me. =) Break a leg at the auditions. That's so exciting!!
i think i'd pee myself if i actually get cast, because like, celia's the star, and i could be...performing onstage...with her...
OH JEEZ i cant take this, too much pressure
Haha I'd feel the same! :D Muchos good luck to you
You're gonna have to update us with how everything goes. K?
okayyy
geez akb needs to hurry up, i cant do this much longer
Yea, you totes gotta keep us posted on this!
While we're talking about new musicals, I personally can't wait to see Shrek (seriously) and I hope the Ever After readings/workshops/whatever it is really evolves!!!
Oh, man, Shrek the musical.. I don't know what the think yet. I read some where they're considering casting Sutton Foster? I'd probably see it just for her.
Yeah, can't wait to see how Ever After works out. :D
sutton was confirmed =]
yeah.
I love Shrek, it's such a good story, really, and Sutton is a BEAST. So you know it's going to be amazing!
Oh sweet, I love me some Sutton. Does that mean she's leaving Young Frankenstein soon? Ah, well. I heard she didn't have as much singing as she deserves.
Sutton's playing Fiona.
Omg, that's gonna rock hard.
Yep, She's most def. leaving, no confirmed date yet, but all I know it, b'way is getting a total makeover this fall/winter with revivals and new shows, it's kind of exciting!
Come one people, give some feedback, we've got a record to break! haha.
Shall we play a game?
sure,
*puts finger on nose*
Not it!
Sure, let's play a game. I at least want to break into the 200's before I call it quits.
Shot not~! -finger to nose-
(I wonder where eryn went.)
But shall we play 20 questions?
let's play...hm...'try not to fall asleep waiting for the video'
im losing, apparently.
Isn't it 21?
Oh well, 20 works.
I'm game
20 questions sounds good. :D And I'm already playing the falling asleep game... zzz...
HAHA. STAY AWAKE chrissy! You can do it!!!
So does anyone not know how to play 20 questions?
I think I do, I haven't played in a while. Is anyone actually counting the questions? Cuz that's no funnn. =P
I know how to play, do not worry. -salutes-
So we'll play the musical edition. Someone thinks of a musical or character in a musical, past or present. We'll all ask the person a question and they'll respond to the answer. And we try to guess what we think it is based on the clues.
And I can count questions...I'm pretty good at it. :)
Mmmk. So some one start.
soo,
andrew, you start.
haha
Btw, someone (I'm guess it's Andrew) was on the UrInTown account 53 minutes ago. Hopefully the vlog will be up soon!
Ok. Let me think of something.
Ok. I have one! It's a character. Start asking those questions!
Woo hoo! Maybe we'll have our blog soon :)
Is the character male or female?
Male.
Hmmm... okay... is the character a girl?
Is the show with the character currently on Broadway?
