New header and icon
It had to be done.
I'm still not over these pics. I don't think I'll ever be. I have 6 headers made so far, but this is my favorite. There will be icons coming, too.
It's just so not fair. I hate him so much, sometimes. Stupid Darren....

I'M GOING TO NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!
Apologies if this is the third time you've seen this, but OMG I'M GOING TO NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby came home from work last night and told me he got a really awesome bonus and that, "Yes, you can go to New York."
I promptly freaked the fuck out cos OMG!!!!!!!!! THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!!!!
So, now I have to actually plan the trip. It sounds like closing weekend is when most of you are going. So, if you don't mind dropping a line here or in my PM and we can start to coordinate things that would be awesome.
Thanks!

CLICKY FOR BIGGER
DARREN'S IN A FUCKING BOYBAND!!!
It's from that movie Imogene he was filming in New York in the fall with Kristen Wiig. I knew he was a musician, but from the other behind the scenes pics we've gotten, I was picturing some sort of folky coffee house musician guy. Not the lead in a FUCKING BOYBAND!!
This is going to be the greatest thing ever!!

I need to figure out some way to go to NY in January....
It was a couple of weeks ago that a report claimed Darren Criss was in talks to replace Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway revival of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
However, neither the Glee star nor anyone involved with the show has confirmed the news.
So is it happening?
It sure is. I just got word that the official announcement will come tomorrow.
It was only a week ago that Criss remained coy on the subject. "I don't know!" he told TVGuide.com. "People keep asking me about it, and it's kind of cool that that's out there in the world, but I cannot confirm anything at all."
How to Succeed will mark Criss' Broadway debut. His three-week run will kick off on Jan. 3, according to Deadline.
Sadly, Criss won't be eligible for a Tony Award for his work because he did not originate the role in this version of the show. Not to mention that the Tonys already snubbed Radcliffe by not even nominating him. For those keep track of more successful How to Succeed stars, Matthew Broderick won for his performance in 1995 as did Robert Morse in 1962.
DARREN ON STAGE? ON BROADWAY?!?!? HOLY.FUCKING.SHIT! nsdfljkghspeoighpseoirg
ETA: Um. Holy shit. Just found round trip flights for less than $150. This might actually be doable....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS FUCKING HAPPEN TO ME?!?!?!?!?
So, remember the epic squee that happened when it was announced that Darren was going to be performing at the Northalstead Market Days on August 13th? And it's free? It's a Darren Criss show and it's free?
I NOW PROBABLY CAN'T FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!
We've had a family vacation to South Carolina planned since last Christmas for the week following. We were going to be driving there from here cos, well, it's stupidly expensive to fly right now. And it's a two day drive. Guess what? WE HAVE TO LEAVE AT THE ASS-CRACK OF DAWN ON AUGUST 13TH!!
I though we were leaving Sunday. So, plans were starting to be made and possibly people coming in from out of town. And I don't know....
I'm trying to find flights (one-way), but there are NO DIRECT FLIGHTS from Chicago to Savannah. How is that possible?? The cheapest flight involves layovers/transfer in St. Louis AND Dallas. WTF?? Well, there's one direct flight, but it's like $950.
Can you like, book a round-trip flight but just never check in for the return?
This sucks.
ETA: Found a fairly cheap flight into Charleston. Now I just need to convince my husband to let me do this....

OMG! I might finally get my chance!
Darren! Solo! Live! Chicago!!!
Northalsted Market Days gets Gleek-ified this year with the announcement that Darren Criss (gay teen “Blaine Anderson” on the T.V. phenom “Glee”) will perform at the Boystown event, reportedly the largest two-day street fair in the Midwest.
Criss has strong Chicago ties: StarKid—the theater troupe co-founded by the 24-year-old along with fellow classmates from the University of Michigan—relocated to Chicago last summer. StarKid’s big claim to fame—a You Tube video titled “A Very Potter Musical” (for which Criss played the title role)—was named one of Entertainment Weekly’s top 10 viral videos for 2009.
Organizers say Criss, who joined the musical comedy-drama last fall, will take the stage Aug. 13, at 4:30 p.m., in between acts Maxine Nightingale and Prince Poppycock.

Glee Live: Thoughts & Concerns
Let's just take a walk through my (scary) thought process with the help of smilies:
Glee Live dates are announced. Have friends that want to go:
They announce Darren is joining the tour:
They announce The Warblers will be joining Darren on the tour:
The Warblers join Darren on some talk show appearances:
Dominic replies to someone inquiring that he was not invited to be part of the tour:
I am now very concerned that the Darren/Blaine/Dalton/Whatever portions of the evening are going to be completely suck ass. Dominic was one of the few Warblers that actually had a name and lines. To not invite him is, in my opinion, a completely douche move. I understand they couldn't invite everyone (salary, lodging & other such logistics). But Dominic? Really?
And then getting back to the Warblers' recent talk show appearances - it's been the boys lip syncing to the Beelzebubs tracks and dancing while Darren sings live. And it sounds terrible. It just does. You can tell the backing vocals are prerecorded and honestly, on some of those songs, Darren needs some help. Teenage Dream and Hey, Soul Sister are really high and singing to a prerecorded track means they can't adjust if he's having an off day or anything. He's just going to be stuck and he's going to wreck his voice and I'm very worried.
But, see, the thing is, those boys can SING. Like, for real. They're all absolutely amazing. And I know that trying to get an 8 part harmony a capella arrangement figured out isn't exactly easy. But you know what? If you gave them the time and the tools they needed? They could do it. They would do it. Because they are so excited and thrilled and just happy to be even the smallest part of the Glee Machine. Let them go work with the 'Bubs for a month or something before the tour starts. They would GET IT. I know they would. And that's I think one of the biggest disappointments about this whole thing to me.
I don't know... I just have a really bad feeling it's going to suck and disappoint A LOT of people.

Happy Birthday, Darren!
Today is Darren Criss' 24th birthday. In the short time it's been since I was first introduced to this guy, I've come to admire him greatly. In every interview I've read/seen that he's given, he always comes across as very intelligent, articulate, witty, but still a huge dork. And I mean that in the best way possible. So, Darren, you'll never see this, but thank you for being you. Please don't ever change.
And now, on to the pretty. :-)
( But believe me I'm not hostile. I just want to hear you laugh. )
Please feel free to spam the comments with your favorite Darren pics/quotes! :-)

One of the reasons I <3 Darren Criss
Mark & Chord are both trying to be all cool and chill. Like, "What's up? Yeah, we're here. So what?" And Darren's all "Woohoo!! Check me out! I am HERE!" LOL :-D
