Town pride.
This is a totally different Lima, but I laughed.
if you can't hide it, just throw some fucking glitter all over it

Anonymous asked: Any advice for someone wanting to get into entertainment writing?
Hey! I have been getting a few of these lately (maybe it’s graduation looming this month for lots of people?) A while back I wrote a small primer to how I got my job and advice that you can read HERE.
Otherwise I can just generally say — write write write! Write what you know and love, and challenge yourself to learn how to write about things you could care less about. Then network and find outlets for that writing. It doesn’t hurt to be in a major city hub of entertainment, but there’s always some sort of entertainment to write about wherever you are, or an angle you can put on it from your own POV.
Person/Agency running NBC’s Tumblr intiative:
You are so on the ball in following me from EVERY SHOW ACCOUNT. I mean, I actually wouldn’t have known what NBC shows were picked up without this happening. Hope you enjoy all the Glee stuff and queer stuff and random photos of my day.
PS - Thanks a lot for canceling The New Normal. :(
It’s official! The wonderful Anthony Rapp will be joining us at LeakyCon Portland!!!
You probably know Anthony best from his role as Mark Cohen in the original Broadway company and movie version of RENT, but he’s also a writer, musician, activist, humanitarian, video game aficionado, and all-around amazing guy!
No day but today! (But really no day but June 27th when LeakyCon Portland kicks off, amiright!?)
I got to meet Anthony a little while ago, and then couldn’t say anything anywhere cause I was afraid it would tip the fandom off, but man. I adore him, and have since 1996. Very few things hit me right in my freak out factor, but things about RENT still very much do. For example, I have awkwardly sat and stood next to Michael Grief several times in NYC without physically being able to talk, etc. I am so so so excited that Anthony is now part of the Leaky family!
LeakyNews EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Rapp is coming to LeakyCon Portland!
Ain’t no news like a Leaky news. :) Without Leaky in the title, it is not confirmed. :)
actual tears about this
So so so excited.
Anonymous asked: What's the most fun you've ever had during an interview or work assignment?
That is a really hard question, as there are lots of different types of fun. I think my first LeakyCon piece was one of the most fun couple of days I’d ever spent, especially because it was my first real time producing. I’ve had a lot of great interviews that it’s hard to choose (or maybe easier to choose worst, but I’d feel bad saying that!) Both Apocalyptour shows I worked at were fun because they were so relaxed and there were a lot of great people around. I guess my honest answer is 90 percent of the time at least for interviews I am having THE MOST FUN.
Honesty Hour!
I just got to work and need to rev up my brain for the morning, so go!
