Now that you're here, and a member of the lovely NewsiesFreak.com boards, tell us about yourself! What's your name, who's your favorite newsie, how long have you been a fan, how did you discover the movie, and/or any other random info you think we should know. Just for the sake of boredom, my name is Jennifer, or Jen, or my friends call me Racetrack occasionally... or whatever else you want to call me. My favorite newsie is (you guessed it!) Racetrack, and I've been a "freak" since January 1st, 2004. My best friend (her name on these boards is "Spot") and she made me watch the movie again for the first time since my childhood (which I don't remember much of ^^; and we became obsessed that day. I opened my site exactly a year after that. (So Jan. 1st, 05) I've met 8 newsies so far, and Kenny Ortega, all in less than 2 years. This summer I'll be meeting my 9th (I do hope everything works out for it. ^_~) Your turn!

Hey my name is Lex, short for Alexis, and my newsie name is Sparks. my favortie newsie is Racetrack I've been a fan of this amazing movie for a year, this June. the first time I saw this movie was when my sister brought it to our lake house and made me and my friend watch it. sadly my friend hated it, but I fell in love!!!! This movie caused me to abandon my Jesse McCartney obsession (thank God) and become obsessed with its songs and characters. I also am in love with the movie and play RENT, but Newsies always comes first. along with watching Newsies, I also watch the other movies that our newsies have been in. My favorite (besides RENT) would have to be SLC Punk! or Swing Kids. I also created a Newsies fansite at the begining of this year which you can visit at {www.double-or-nuthin.piczo.com} but Newsiesfreak.com will always be my favorite website dedicated to Newsies!

Heys, my name is Emily, and my newsie name is Pithe. I have to say my favorite newsie is Spot, although Race comes in a close second. I've been a Newsies fan for a few months, I think. My friend was in a production of Newsies on stage, which is how I heard of it, and then I found it flipping through On Demand, watched it, and fell in love! I love to read, write, and read and write Newsies fanfiction.

My name is Kate (which I consider to be one of the most boring names ever. It's not even Katherine or anything. Blah. To spice it up, I sometimes spell it with TWO 'e's. Oooh, I'm clever.). My favorite newsies are Spot and Skittery, although I love them all. I saw Newsies for the first time about two or so years ago, and was instantly obsessed. I don't remember why I decided to watch the movie, but my best friend and I decided we just had to see it for some reason. Now I see why. I've even written a (prize-winning) research paper on the strike! </egoboost> I like to draw and pretend I can write. Plus, theatre and musicals make my life worthwhile. And my dream is to yell off the Brooklyn Bridge.

~Okay, well, my name's Amanda, but my newsie name is Lucks. ~I'm a total and complete newsie fans and can annoy my friends with it sometimes. But, luckily, over half of them have seen it and like it, just not as much as I do! ~My fave newsie site is NewsiesFreak.com (obviously!). ~I enjoy reading and writing fanfiction on FF.net under the username Lucks. And though I'm not really big on slash, I read one that was so good I cried when it was over. Read it, it's called Everything You've Done Wrong, and it's by Sloanne. Sprace! haha! ~Okay, now, how I got hooked on Newsies. Well, when I was in fifth or sixth grade, my aunt made me watch it cuz it was her favorite movie ever, so I did. And, I must say I'm guilty of not liking it *gasp!* But everything gets better. Cuz she didn't own it. Ha! We bought it for her for Christmas 2005 and she made me watch it again. I fell in love. Now, whenever I go to Hastings, I don't want to rent the newest shows out there, all I want to rent is the movies with Newsies in them! Yay! (like Rent! I love that movie!) ~My fave newsie is Racetrack Higgins, and Max Casella is the Sh** (as Nickie Cage stated in "Lord of War") ~That's all...I think... Peace, and Carryin' Da Bannah, ~Lucks

What's your name, who's your favorite newsie, how long have you been a fan, how did you discover the movie, and/or any other random info you think we should know. Questions, questions! That's okay. I can do answers. Name: Allison. Or Ally. Or AllyCat. Or Allyzoner. Or, or, or, or. I'll answer to just about anything. Favorite Newsie: Spot. Kid Blink. How long have I been a fan: Almost one year. How did I discover the movie: My pastor's daughter showed it to me. Truth be told, I think there should be a seperate thread for this. Everybodies got an addiction story. Random info: I'm random. I get obsessed, I drop, I re-obsess about everything really. Go Narnia! Neopets: former obsession. I'm proud to be Neopets free for seven months! (And my latest obsessions have all started with the letter "N"- even the guy I like. Hmm... I've got problems.)
