Dudes. I've got Newsies on the brain ever since finding that grown up pic of Les. I've been singing the songs around the house and generally driving J insane, and I really, really want to break out my DVD... I just haven't been home long enough this weekend to watch it.

I encourage all who've never seen it to go watch it, because guh. It has got to be one of my all-time fav movies, right up there with Better off Dead. Only maybe better, because you can sing along. I memorized all the words way back in '92, when I was an obsessed sophmore in high school. Can you imagine how cool I was back then? Dudes. So cool. I should scrounge up a school pic because wow. You cannot properly fathom the cool without pictures to illustrate.

Anywho, I've found SCREENCAPS!. There are so much fun :) And, of course, this means I've been busy with my paintshop... some simple icons follow. Mostly of Spot, because he's my favorite and he's also got a pimp cane! I think I'll go back and do some minor characters later. I'm not the best at this, but feel free to take, share, request certain newsies. Yay!

You're so wonderful. Not only Newsies icons but Spot Conlin! icons. So excited you have no idea. I've seen Newsies so many times I can perform 99% of the movie for you. Spot has always been my favorite followed closely by, of course, Jack Kelly. I'm so pathetic I was going to name a son after him and a daughter Brooklyn because I loved the way Spot said it so much. Ok, getting way too fangirl here. *loves you*

Me and PB slide the CD on in the car and jam out... belting the songs at the top of our lungs. Good times.

God, I remember running out and getting the soundtrack tape right after seeing the movie in the theaters, then cutting out the proof of purchase and sending it to disney for a lyrics book. I still have that thin slice of heaven somewhere. *sigh* *hugs newsboys*
