Still Cold - But Grateful!

A good weekend...but it's still cold! However, it's not raining or snowing so grateful for that.
Had a good weekend. Heck I was alive and healthy so that's a wonderful thing.
Friday night I went to see a friend in a show in a small theatre space in the Lower East Village. The space was great, in the basement of a building with a nice bar/performance space upstairs. The show itself was was abysmal. Ugh...no acting ability, save for my friend. Sometimes going to support friends in shows can be painful, but at least it was short.
Saturday night I went to the Miss Sobriety Pageant with a friend. It was a hoot. A drag variation on the Miss _____________ (fill in the blank) Pageants! My friend's sponsor won so that was great. A fun night, saw some friends from LA, plus it raised money for the Big Apple Roundup.
Sunday church was wonderful, a great message and beautiful songs. Live for today.
Later, went to the audition for the next convention show. A take off on FOLLIES. A great turnout. Run very professionally. A fun time. Now, we'll see.
Also am working on a two man show with a friend. Songs written by Gay men sung by Gay men. Surprisingly several songwriters have songs I like and want to sing. Knowing they were Gay makes several songs even more powerful. Though Lional Bart didn't come out till later in life, knowing he was Gay gives "Where is Love?" and "As Long As He Needs Me" a new life.
We are aiming for an April 12th date. So, some creative projects set in motion.

Wintry Mix

Snow is back. Cold. Winter! About 1-2 inches today. Got up and went to New But West, took these photos of 6th Avenue and 45th Street and the old FAME school, now the Jacqueline Onassis School on 46th. Brrrr

Remembering and Honoring Evelyn Lauder!

Remembering a great lady, Evelyn Lauder, a life spent helping others, a legacy that will continue forever. Live, love and be of service. Make the most of what life hands you so that when you hand it back, it's covered with handprints of love!

Winter Came Back

Well, the next day it started getting colder and we have had winter weather and temps since I posted last. Brrrrrr.

Spring in Winter

Wow, today was like a spring day! It got up to 62 with clear sunny skies.
After the routine of the usual Saturday, I went for a walk down Wall Street, over to Battery Park, around and up along the Hudson River to Battery Park City, up to Tribeca, back around then through the WTC and home.
Got some beautiful photos!
Took about 90 minutes. My first big walk in several months. Too many.
Back on track!

Back to Work

Yesterday was back to work day.
I didn't sleep well the night before, ugh, but made it through the day well enough.
Not too busy but got a lot done. Setting up Media Days.
Scheduling lunches!
Met with Lane after for coffee and chat.
Also bought some new walking shoes at lunchtime and some new jeans on the way home.
LARGE size..not good.
Day was ok for food...Subway thankfully!
Still in that case, 6 inches IS preferred over a Footlong!! :)

Last Day of Staycation

Well, last day off before heading back to work tomorrow.
Lazy!!!

NY Eve Party Hats!

Pics from the party! Jeffrey brought stuff and made us all hats!
The line of horses greeted me as I made my way to Broadway to sing!!!

Happy New Year

Well I started off the day going to New But West, which is on 46th near Broadway. I walked past people already camped out at 9:50AM. I just looked up at the place where the ball would be 14 hours later and did my own HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Later I met up with Eric and we went over to Lincoln Center while we waited for Mark to get off of work.
Then Eric and I walked around and watched all the crazy people having crazy fun.
Went to Emmett's at 51st and 8th for the party which was nice, low key and tame in comparison.
After midnight the party slowly broke up and I went over to Broadway at 51st and did my "ritual" of singing on Broadway. I sang "I Still Believe in Me" from the TV show FAME.
My request is to sing INSIDE a theatre on Broadway this year!! As a performer, not an audience member.
