Re: Provincetown

Miss Understood ·
I went to Provincetown once, many years ago. It was a hellish bus ride with long changes. Is there a direct way to get there? It might be nice to take off one weekend this year and go. Is it hard to get a room? Last time I went off season.

I still haven't seen it yet, I've been so busy lately. But Nowhereboy I can tell you as someone who DID live in NYC during the Alig years, there was soooooo much more going on around town that had nothing to do with the club kid movement whatsoever, and the general public will not be seeing that portrayed in Party Monster (and, on artistic grounds, I can certainly understand why the producers chose to focus on one specific scene). Those other scenes however are what I tend to remember more.

The room was too hot, Daddy was having a great time, the Empress was in fine form, Jessica, Dirty Martini and Lavinia trooped hard, the crowd went bats for Debravation, but why did at least ten people ask me if I knew where to get some "pills"? London doesn`t seem to get the new burlesque, as fixated as the crowd was on the stage they forgot how to applaud. At least the drinks weren`t too overpriced and they did pour deep ones.
