Stephanie said:Isn’t it? Katie is such a sweetheart for thinking of me (and the site) .. and Ben too, of course, for personalizing and posing with the sign she made. I’ve been smiling ever since I saw the photo. :D
Nicole: I noticed that too! ♥

Sandy said:Gosh! I can’t really make ii out….does it say: Stephanie sorry you couldn’t make it?!? Help!! Anyway…..that Ben is such a sweetheart and that’s why I love him so! :)

Heather said:What a sweet, sweet man Ben is. You guys are SO lucky to have met him!
@Sandy: I can’t wait to see the movie tomorrow! I’ve been looking forward to it for months! Hope you enjoy it, too!

Katie said:Well, it was the least I could do (and at the same time, all I could do… if I show up at that stage door any more often, he’ll be considering a restraining order…).
Thank YOU, Steph, for all the time and energy you invest in the site and for keeping the rest of us updated.December 10th, 2010
Katie said:Oh and also thank you for calling that sign awesome… LOL… it really wasn’t my best artistic effort, but I’m a little out of practice.
@Sandy: Yes, it says “Sorry you couldn’t make it”.

Mandi said:Just got back from the Midnight showing of VotDT!!!!
It’s fantastic. I still missed Eddie Izzard as Reep tho. That’s the only thing that I really had to say. Eustace sort of stole the show though. Will was PERFECT as well as Ben. I liked the fact that it was his own hair rather than the god-awful extensions they gave him in Caspian. LOL
All in all, the movie was awesome! I really hope they make all seven books!
P.S Stephanie, what does the sign say? “I’m sorry….” what? I can’t read it. :P I’m happy for you and the site!!!

Helaine said:@Katie – It was really sweet of you to have this idea! :D
And I think Steph totally deserved it! As you said, she works hard to keep us updated, and she runs the site beautifully! :)

Read about the fantastic Q&A with Sebastian Faulks, Rachel Wagstaff and Ben Barnes in Whatsonstage.com.
http://www.whatsonstage.com/blog/theatre/london/E8831291976999/No+Catcalls+for+Birdsong.html“Barnes spoke charmingly, and modestly, about his involvement in one or two of the earlier Birdsong film projects that have never got off the ground. And the minute he heard that Trevor Nunn was on board as director, he’d made himself irresistibly available. This was his first stage role since taking over in The History Boys in the West End four years ago. He squirmed a bit when I asked him about the boy band he formed after leaving the National Youth Music Theatre; he’s a big star now, not only in the Narnia films, but for this superb performance at the Comedy.”
OMG! “Boy band” again! IDecember 10th, 2010
Helaine said:@Galene – Thanks for the link! :)
Gosh, this “boy band” thing is getting really annoying. The first time it was funny, back on 2008 on Jimmy Kimmel. But not anymore. ¬_¬

casandra said:OMG Ben !!!!! No es lindo?? Como me gustaria ir a Londres y ver Birdsong , darle un gran abrazo y por supuesto pedirle su autografo.
Gracias Katie por compartir tu foto y acordarte de nosotras! Un saludo a todas las fan de Ben Barnes.December 10th, 2010
Pilar said:Hola chicas, gracias por alegrar mi día con esa foto de Ben, realmente él es tan dulce, creo que por eso es que a mi también me ha encadenado a seguirlo. Yo también quisiera ir a Londres y poder ver la obra, pero no puedo….buuuaaaaa¡¡¡ sniffff, snifff¡
TIenen mucha suerte¡¡December 10th, 2010
Katie said:Well just the other day I went to the BFI library to do some uni research and because I had time left over, I used it to do a search on Ben. You would think the British Film Institute has up-to-date information… but the ONLY information given in his profile is “Has a band called Hyrise”. Present tense and all. I had to stop myself from laughing out loud.
December 10th, 2010
Sandy said:@ Heather: I know!!! I am sure I WILL enjoy it! :)
@Katie: Thanks for that! I must say you are the luckiest girl in the world……what I would give to be able to meet Ben in person !!!! I just adore him.
Agreed!! Stephanie you are doing an amazing job with BBF.

Seriously, this hat looks like out of Southpark *rotfl*
Otherwise, great pic.

Stephanie said:Awww, thank you guys! ♥ You’re making me blush. *shy* I’m really glad that you all enjoy the site .. :D
December 10th, 2010
Katie said:@Lucy: not much, really. I just said that I felt bad for Steph because she put so much time and effort into the site and wouldn’t even get to see the play, so would he mind signing and taking a picture with this sign. I’m not really that great at striking up conversations anyway, and especially not if I’m nervous and don’t want to be wasting his time.
