High Priestess

Costume is DONE! Workin on a "Yellow Fever" one next. Both should be ready to debut by next week. That's what I've been busy doing. Tonight is Harlow's Hide-a-way at Fontana's - I'll be doing Enter Sandman which coincidentally is also what I'll be doing at the next F*BOMB show at The Delancey on April 24th with "Beatallica" - yes, you read right, a band that covers Beatles songs in Metallica death metal style and vice versa. They are quite brilliant and the re-working of the lyrics are ingenious. For example, "Sandman Calling", "Hero of the Day Tripper", "All You Need Is Blood".

Another day when I have more witty or not-so-witty observations to make, I'll write more.

Beatles Burlesque April 12, 2010

My mind is all about the "Beatles Burlesque" show coming up in a couple of weeks! The band, Ticket to Ride, have been rehearsing and holy crap they sound so rock and so amazing. Honi came by yesterday to rehearse her song too. The gogo dancers are planning the costumes, the flyer is done, the web site done, the line up is settled, press has been contacted. It's all coming together so well.

I'm a happy camper for sho. Happy everyone is having a good time prepping and enthusiastic and if I can buy pizza to keep the boys fueled, I do. Matt had the idea of shooting the band picture in a Chinese take out restaurant being that this is a "Calamity Chang" production and all - I love it. It's kitschy and very much in the spirit of burlesque. The boys look yummy. I would want to sleep with them if I saw them play especially the one on the left. (I wrote that cause I know you are reading this, you know who you are!)


TICKET TO RIDE!

I'm also very happy to report that Honi Harlow has asked me to be a regular at her monthly show "Harlow's Hideaway" at Fontana's on Eldridge Street! This is my first regular gig outside of my own shows and I'm fuckin thrilled!!! You have no idea how nice it feels sometimes to just go and do an act and enjoy a show, and not be the producer, the MC, the one that has to keep time and keep things together. Now the first Mondays of every month will be my un-manic Mondays! I also love this opportunity because Fontana's is walking distance so that saves me cab fare.
