Re: Join us at Hooker's Ball 4 New Year's Eve
I am incredibly superstitious about this, resulting in my having done a countdown somewhere on Earth for the past 15 years - almost. The one year I wasn't onstage at midnight was 2001 - nuff said! That's why this year was especially gorgey as the stage was CRAMMED with people I adore, including you (and Flow of course) Betty, my hubs, Dolly, Lily, Amber and Eliza, Bootboy and Dale Devere, Andrea Bouzewah etc. I am rare among club folk because I LOVE New Years and particularly the countdown...

Re: Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!
I've been to several of those Russian clubs to do a quick number for a birthday, etc. Unfortunately I've never caught the shows. I'm dying to go but I always work weekends. Are there any good ones on Thursday or Sunday? One club has approached me about doing a weekly drag show. If it happens, we have to bus you folk out to Brooklyn!

His voice is like the Earth itself singing (or the male aspect of it anyway). Totally real! He had many of the then cutting edge counter culture singers on his television show in the 1960s like Bob Dylan (several times). I must admit it was AFTER Dylans motorcycle accident when he no longer had that edginess with an abandon that he had prior to it, but he was still way out there as far as Mr. and Mrs. Average American was concerned.

Re: RIP, VIP
Johnny Cash, one of country music's most iconic figures, has died at the age of 71. Cash died at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, "due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure", said Lou Robin, his manager. The announcement shocked fans, who had been relieved to hear that Cash had been released from hospital on Tuesday after three weeks of treatment for an inflammation of the pancreas. Although Cash had been hospitalised frequently over the past several...

Re: Cookie Mueller
Picture this Cautious Lips, Cookie is on her way to see an art show so she can review it for her weekly review in The East Village Eye ( local arts newspaper of the east village) I run into her on 57th street uptown and she invites me to join her. The opening is in a gallery on the 9th floor of a building on W.57th St. We arrive early before anyone so she can see all the work clearly without anybody in the way. We take the elevator to the 9th floor and the door opens right into the gallery.

Re: Oh, no, here come The Republicans!
Aside from how much we hate this farce, isn't anyone in the City government concerned about the security issues? A Convention in the hot month of September... (no doubt they will trumpet their 'triumph' over 9/11 to death)... in a City with overtaxed resources ... Would this not be a 'perfect moment' for the terrorists to go all-out and try to take out Bush and his cronies? I kind of can't believe it is being allowed. It is massive hubris at the expense of all the folk who live here.

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York

Re: Beams to New Orleans
Yesterday on NPR they mentioned two photos run simultaneously by the AP, one showing a black man walking in water with "looted" goods, and the other showing a white couple walking with "food and water they had found at a local store." It's sickening. I actually feel sick to my stomach, it's so awful, what it shows about this administration...and, worse, of course, how there will be the media spin and a lot of people still won't SEE it, even right there in their faces.

Re: But Darling I WAS a punk.
I just find everything so segregated nowerdays. I think it was that turning when black folk in the music industry decided to become gangsters and all about bitches and bling. Which was idolized by white folk in the sticks. I think that was the real downfall on the mix of music and people. Thank God I remember those dub days too. (I moved the Notting Hill at the tail end of that). I miss the lovers rock reggae and the ole school dub.

Re: Grey Gardens: The Musical?
Hapi I think that too, about Hattie doing Little Edie, Little Edie is a great inspiration to the trans folk and considering Hattie is a fan of GG it would not be out of place. When was there a drag performer last on B'way in recent memory since Bush took office, and I don't mean Hairspray, Harvey Fierstein or not (Harvey can't really sing, it's like nail on a chalk board listening to him. I want him to write another play)

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
I agree Lex but the really outrageous thing is why gay men have sex in public bathrooms in the first place. The heterosexual world condemed gay sex for so long and made it illegal, thereby driving gay men into the closet and into the dark backrooms and secret places where we could meet. There were no gay church socials or dating services or public community meetings where gay people could meet and socialize like the straight world around them.

Nope, no talent here, never got on stage or did a damn thing.
