If you were there, you know how magical, elegant, mournful, sexy, transformative and truly uplifting this evening was.
Dean was the catalyst, connecting and reconnecting so many bright lights from three decades of NYC Nocturnal Overness. From my perch at the door, I missed lots of the shows, but did manage to catch some extraordinary glimpses of both bands, Phoebe Legere, Connie Fleming, Justin Bond, The Bankheads (in rarest form EVER!), and the stunning Dancenoise/Dazzles-orchestrated finale.
Ya know, everyone says NY is so over, but this night was as great as any in the past 25 years, despite all of the glittering Missing Persons like the Birthday Boy himself.
Love and huge props to the entire ensemble - producers, curators, DJs, volunteers, performers and every one of you who came early, stayed late, and donated generously.
After the expenses of the show and documentation, the night raised roughly $3,300 for Sylvia's Place. I am leaving the donation button up on the event webpage for another day or two if you'd like to add to that before we write the final check!
