You met RSL?!
yesss! it was amazing so here is a mini blog about my experience. (and a unsolicited photo dump)
so i flew in from canada just to see the play. i begged my mom constantly until she bought the tickets to shut me up (she was pissed lol). we ended up sitting in the second row in the left hand side which is really great because he was really up close to that side for half of the play!
after the play i was in the lobby and my mom said “is that rsl”, he looked like a npc and i didn’t even notice until she said that. he was talking to this guy and i was in shock, i did not know what to tell him but i was just watching them talk like a creep. he was yapping about god knows what (it was really loud) and i heard him swear it was amazing.
when it was finally my turn to speak to him i was DYINGGG. i was really quiet and just let him yap most of the time but he is a really good yapper and i got to stare into his eyes for like 15 minutes. and it was so cute how he switched to a family friendly kind sweet person when he started talking to me vs him swearing with that guy, it was the lamby tapes irl im not even joking that’s what it sounded like. first we just talked about the play and then he said “im so sorry how do you know me you look so young!”. like ok buddy calm down. in my head i wanted to tell him “it’s because your so amazing and talented how could i not” but i just told him i first watched house and dead poets society. then he started yapping about how he only watched 4 episodes of house and then told me the whole dead poets society neil-todd switch story. i knew that story already but he looked so amazing i just let him continue, he definitely didn’t think i knew who ethan hawke was but im not uncultured i swear 🙏
after that he asked what brought me to chicago and my mom said we were just looking around seeing stuff and we came to watch the play. he asked where i came from and he was shocked to hear it was from canada (i attached a video of him touching me during that part of the convo rahhhh). in the video you can’t tell but he was like “canada!? you came from canada?” STOP THE SLANDER BRO. FIRST MY AGE NOW THIS JUST ACCEPT THE FACT IM AWESOME AND A BIG FAN OK. i gave him a letter and he thanked me, we hugged 😏, he yapped more about the play, and then he broke my heart and we separated paths. (btw he told me he was gonna sleep for 12hrs when he got home).
anyways i wrote an analysis on the photos because they just need explaining P.S: ik im chopped in the photos with rsl (why universe, whyyy) but i’ve accepted that atleast rsl is in the same photo as me 😎
-in the first picture with the terrible angle you can see me and rsl side hugging 😊
-in the second you can see me staring at the love of my life speaking with some hooligan who is NOT as big a fan as me
-in the third photo you can see my mom catching me in 4k sending snaps to my bestie
-in the forth you can see us when we first came to the hotel (citizen M, it’s really close to a lot of things i’d recommend for one night)
-in the video you can watch robert sean leonard himself grab my armmmm 🤭
-and in the last photo you can see that he so generously signed my playbill AND wrote my name, i think im in love.. also he has bipolar handwriting .
