Would I go on a date with you?

Check the chart and let me know how you do!

Picnic in the park anyone?

Tomorrow evening, at 8 pm, one of NYC's greatest summer traditions of free music in Central Park will take place once again. The New York Philharmonic is doing a free concert on the Great Lawn, and I'm sooooooooo going. Want to join me?

They're playing a series of Aaron Copland songs, and then the real treat: Mahler's Symphony No. 1. Killer!!!

We can bring food, and even wine and beer are tolerated at these events (as long as we're discrete about it). It should even be possible to enjoy a few herbal delights, if we get a good spot.

Getting a good spot involves getting there early. I'm thinking of getting myself situated sometime around 5:30 or 6 pm. Then the show starts at 8, goes to 9:30, and is followed by a short fireworks display. FUN, FUN, FUN! And then it's only 10 pm... the evening is so young still at that point and NY is our oyster.

Who's down? Email me back a.s.a.p. if you want to come, and at what time. I'll figure out a good rendezvous spot for the first wave, and then msg everyone about the final spot once we've chosen it.

Email me, or call me, if you're coming along!

Salome! A Veiled Threat

July 23rd-25th @ 8pm

21 Clinton St.
New York, NY

An evening of multi media cabaret style performance featuring Ryan Lawrence, Jeremy Mikush, Eric Jaeger
Costumes by Luc Goodhart and Diego Montoya
Lighting by Peter Cramer

and presenting Bizzy as Salome!

In Salome! "We celebrate the radical feminist power of one of the Bible's most beloved and reviled femme fatales, Salome. Through the works of Charles Mee, Tom Robbins, Richard Strausse, Valerie Solanas, Oscar Wilde, and Charles Bryant, we explore these works through the use of theater, dance, live music, film, puppetry and burlesque. It's a total blast!"

"If you have seen the show already, I would encourage you to take another look as we are adding lots of fun elements to the piece. If you have already seen it and don't need to see it again, or can't afford it, etc. please send a friend or two. I have 3 nights to fill at The Living Theater and I would love to do just that. So please pass this info along to anyone you think might be interested." - Bizzy (Brian) Barefoot
