willl you be the only nude member of the choir? that would really inspire holiday joy. especiallyif you are erect and there are constant member-zooms.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Is this in some way connected with Road Rules or The Real World?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan Perry on the telly will be like The Beatles getting a number one - he''ll go off and forget about us and we won't see him ever again.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:36 (twenty-one years ago)

POPE JOHN PAUL II IS DEAD??!! WTF OMG!

A&E, Accident and emergency?

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Thursday, 11 December 2003 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoo hoo!

Don't forget to flash some sort of ILE gang symbol so we can all spot you!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 11 December 2003 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 11 December 2003 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Awesome.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 11 December 2003 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Sadly, I will not be flashing any ILE gang symbols because the concert was taped last year.

Also, this is not my first television appearance; I've sung in this taped concert since 1998 (first broadcast in 1999).

But enough bragging, tune in and enjoy! (Special guests are VINCE GILL and AMY GRANT!)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Aww yeah, I smell a three-way.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

As Pope, Dan can carry the message of the Lord personally to Amy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Amy Grant! Dang, we are one degree of separation!!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

!!!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Amy Grant was super nice to me! Plus she's ridiculously HAWTT in person.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't bone her either.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

not even a rib?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Her hulking husband was standing next to her during our five second chat. Since it was the holiday season, I decided not to use my sexual ninja prowess do sex her mightily during each of his eyeblinks.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

that was hanle y-esque!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

ARGH "do" should be "to".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

By the way, "I smell a threeway" is my new catchphrase.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

"do sex her mightily" is mine¡

― dyson (dyson), Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:00 (twenty-one years ago)

He is fighting Calum on ILX celebrity boxing.

― El Spinktor (El Spinktor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

BUMP

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you ever smelled a threeway? It's not unlike patchouli.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Added note: I watched a tape of the local broadcast of this last night and DAMN I got a ot of camera time! Also, I have bags under my eyes the size of China.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Teabags?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

oh GOD no, not again.

― El Santo Claus (Kingfish), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The camera just loves your smiling face, it does. A feral smile to be sure.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, it's on the TiVo. I actually created a "Dan Perry" wishlist while I was at it.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 12 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

ahahahahaha.!

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Friday, 12 December 2003 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

wait--Eastern Daylight Time? Is this a cunning attempt to trick us?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 12 December 2003 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I would kill to see that on my TV screen.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 December 2003 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

IT'S ON NOW!

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Is he resplendent?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes! We just saw him. The lady standing behind him is scary (so says Nick).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Do keep reportin', folx!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Screencaps plz!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

http://starstarstar.net/dan.JPG

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:16 (twenty-one years ago)

So earnest!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

W.O.A.H!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, its like the fish eye lens.

― bnw (bnw), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:51 (twenty-one years ago)

woah! How are you getting such clean shots! Are these being paused or are you just a lightning fast shutterbug?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

btw, Dan this is sooo awesome.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

He really is looking worried! "Oh lord, smite me not, for I am thy pope."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I have Tivo, and thank god or otherwise I'd actually have to listen to Amy Grant.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I just tuned in now. Is all the Dan-ness over?

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan suffered through Amy Grant, so should you!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(And Dan so did love ILX that he suffered through Amy Grant so that the people of ILX would not have to, etc., etc.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

http://starstarstar.net/dan3.JPG

also let the record show that I'm choosing screenshots that simultaneously show Dan at his most suave and those around him at their most dorky.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

in other words I FOR MY GOOD WORKS WILL SIT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF DANG IN HEAVEN.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so disappointed. I expected there to be tiny lil penii all over his bow-tie.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Ma'am, you don't want to know where that hand has been.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the driector musta had the hots for you, Dan. I was able to get a nostril hair count.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

http://starstarstar.net/dan4.JPG

no shit!

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan's a celebrity! Dan's a celebrity!

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Couldn't they get a better beard for that Santa? He looks like Dan Akroyd in Trading Places.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

http://starstarstar.net/dan.MPG

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

was this show shot by hype williams?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

shit is bangin', son.

(i think it looks like that cause she captured it off the TV)

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i keep hearing dan doing "put your hands where my eyes can see" when i see them.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:49 (twenty-one years ago)

oh god this one is much better (543K)
http://starstarstar.net/dan2.MPG

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, I'm just taking pictures of my TV with my digital camera, but that explanation takes all the fun out of it.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

"put baby jesus where my eyes can see"

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

"Daniel Perry" hah.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 13 December 2003 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

By the way, Teeny, you rock.

OMG, that second clip is great. Who is that, Dave Eggers soloing?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 13 December 2003 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

bitches grab yer tits if you love hip hop...
http://starstarstar.net/dan4.JPG

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Saturday, 13 December 2003 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

what is that evil head doing floating in the second pic?

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Saturday, 13 December 2003 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Man it just ruled watching Dan on the Boston Pops, I gotta say

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 13 December 2003 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

THE MAN IS A STAR *

― kephmas, Saturday, 13 December 2003 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHAHA! This is what happens when a cameraman is practically sitting in your lap for the entire show.

The dude sitting next to me is hella cool; he's also a baritone and he actually just finished a PhD at MIT. The woman next to me is the wife of one of the leading cancer researchers in the Boston area. The woman behind me is a chorus mainstay and is actually really sweet. The other black guy in pic #4 actually debuted as a soloist with the BSO last weekend for a performance of "All Rise" by Wynton Marsalis and is a really good friend of mine and the brown-haired woman in the third row is one of my wife's best friends in the city and also a pretty fucking great soprano; she sings in the same pro church choir that we do.

Actually, I really liked everyone on my side of the stage that year (and I'm too smart to talk about the people I don't like on a publicly-accessible forum).

Also, I'm really psyched that people tuned in! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed performing it (and make sure you tune in next year because the special guests are going to be about 8,000,000 times better).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 13 December 2003 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

And "Dave Eggers" is actually Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Pops!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 13 December 2003 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

he woulda gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling choral singers

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 December 2003 06:26 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is surely sent from Gawd.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 December 2003 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

A vision and a pearl. :-) I have seen past Dan broadcasts but not this year, so this thread was a lifesaver. Rah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 December 2003 07:44 (twenty-one years ago)

It was really good! Dan got a *lot* of screentime, and I enjoyed the music.

The only bad thing about it was the assyness of Vince Gill, but that is a relatively minor complaint.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 15 December 2003 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

So necessary...

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 15 December 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I missed seeing you live, Dan? Right, so this is where I should kick something.

(And I have A&E, so I can't even plead the Fifth!)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It was recorded last year, Nick.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

What little I managed to see of it, I was diggin.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Still missed it, though. That alone displeases me. (Natty bow-tie, BTW. Reminds me of my own HS choir dress-ups. Bet tis the only time you wear it.)

(xpost)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry I missed this, but the screenshots roxor. There shant be Vince Gill hate.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

It's going to be on A&E again on Sunday at 10:00 AM EDT. SET YER VCRS!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

also, in full H.W. style there should have been some morphing thing with The Abyss water-worm developing Dan's facial features and Janet Jackson in terrible goth makeup

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Donated my VCR to the local nunnery, but I'll set my alarm.

There shant be Vince Gill hate.

But it brings ME joy....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

(haha also tomorrow I will be singing "Put Baby Jesus Where My Eyes Can See" all through the interminable Nutcracker section)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

(Hahaha "Donated my VCR to the local nunnery, but I'll set my alarm" is the most surreal sentence I've read today! Nuns can't miss their Y&R!)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

RECORD, I say!

(xpost)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(Thanks for the kind words! I understand about the weirdness, though; my wife thought it was slightly odd that a bunch of people were posting stills of me from TV to a website, but then again she's met a bunch of ILXors and has known what a computer nerd I am since we started dating so it's not like she was surprised or anything.)

-- Dan Perry (djperr...), December 16th, 2003 8:20 AM. (Dan Perry) (later) (link)

That bunch of people was actually JUST ME and YOU'RE WELCOME and grab them if you want them because I'm not going to keep them on my server forever.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)
