My friend CeCe arrived Thursday night for this coming weekend of PRIDE here in NYC. Today he went to a job interview…so who knows, he may be a NYCer before we know it.
I was off today, so, after his interview he and I went out on the town for a bit. It was a rainy day but we made the best of it.
We went down to Chelsea and did some shopping and then we met up with Elizabeth for drinks. At the bar we were at, the event of the evening was Drag Queen Puppet BINGO. The poster made all of us crack up…no matter how you read it, it just seemed like too much of a good thing was not a good thing. Love BINGO…love puppets…love a good Drag show…throw them all together????
Yikes.
CeCe and I walked down from Chelsea into the Village where we saw the play Cagelove. The play was very interesting and dark and really messed with your mind. I thought it was very well written, if not as strongly acted as I’d like.
All day CeCe and I had seen postcards of Madonna around town. A small club on the Lower East Side – in Alphabet City – was having a pre-Madonna party. We decided to do a little dancing…and that’s exactly what we did.
The Pyramid club was one hot spot that celebrates all things 80's. The fashion, the hair...and most importantly, the MUSIC. The place was packed. Downstairs was a lounge playing Madonna videos and concerts. Upstairs on the narrow dancefloor the DJ was playing non-stop Madonna songs from 9pm to Midnight. We danced and danced. It was a night celebrating the 80’s in general and the original Material Girl specifically.
Next week Madonna is performing 5 or 6 sold-out shows here at Madison Square Garden. Everyone’s already gearing up for it…and a nice chunk of her fans were packed on to the dancefloor with CeCe and I.
Good times.
VERY good times.
