Going to be a great theme for 2011! I think Jon Stiers sent you a line about possibly performing - he rocks. Looking forward to see him entrancing the crowd with his voice and piano skills. Can we get Brook Alyson's butt here this year?

I love how all "The Girls" are wired now. First Sherry Vine then Joey Arias, today even Raven O told me he was on AOL (of course). But THE BEST is Lady Bunny. It's funny how someone's personality still comes through. She is constantly sending me pictures like this one below of Nancy Isla and gorgeous links like this one. The Bunny Dance

Re: Grey Gardens At Irving Plaza
OK, I'll try. "Grey Gardens" was basically Hattie Hathaway (Hatches) and my thing. Hattie thought of the name (Hattie also named "Mother" BTW, it came to her in a wet dream about Jimi Hendrix but that's another story) It was every Saturday night at Irving Plaza, after the rock shows ended. The Irving Plaza staff (who were incredible) cleared out the drunk college kids faster than one of Messy Bonnie's farts. And in about 20 minutes we (about 15 people) transformed the theater into this eery,...

Re: Grey Gardens At Irving Plaza
The text verbatim on one of the original Grey Gardens invitations, which featured the Hopper image on its face: " She was as brittle as a breakaway bottle. Smoke from an unfiltered cigarette jammed carelessly in her mouth curled from the corners of her perfectly painted lips. He was a loner, a grifter, a soldier of misfortune. A diamond winked from his little finger as he stroked his wide lapel. There, in the smoky, dusty, ancient theatre, among the flakes of peeling gilt, the dust shrouds,...

OMG!! I forgot about "Les Sisters Hathaway"!!!! Hattie, Chi Chi and Sherry Vine aka "Les Sisters Hathaway". Someone PLEASE describe "Les Sisters Hathaway" because I can't do it justice.

Thanks to everyone who came out - and turned it out - so splendidly last night for NOTS 17.

The tech staff - indeed the entire staff - of Hiro was really on point, and that helped so much. Performance high points pour moi?

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
There is such a high degree of social tollerance in NYC anywhere else you go in this country seems like a kind of reform school.

Re: After The Glitter Fades: NOTS 15, The reviews are in!
I am very happy with last night because it was so "Old School". Even though NOTS seems to get bigger and bigger every year, NOTS 15 was really like the old Jackie ones. So many familiar faces, not just on stage (Sherry Vine, Dean Johnson, Sister Cody) but the audience was very "Jackie". And more people were done this year than ever. They were having fun with Stevie and it showed. I loved this '80's Stevie.

Hi Lissa, glad you enjoyed! Yes, I guess it is best to start slow, for it sure is a marathon. As it turns out, 'Edge of Seventeen' was played quite a bit by the ruling late nite Main Floor DJ Craig Spencer-- in all of its permutations, including the songs by other artists which sample Waddy's guitar riff. 'Edge' is also the song always saved onstage for the final 'Battle,' which this year concluded at 3:48 AM, by my watch. What a journey! I did hear him play 'Stand Back' and 'Gold Dust' many...
