The last day of the Vail Dance Festival: ReMix NYC at New York City Center was an afternoon dance workshop. It was also the day of the NYC Marathon so I saw a lot of people in their shorts and t-shirts wrapped in blankets walking down Sixth Avenue. This time I was in the Grand […]
The third night of the Vail Dance Festival: ReMix NYC at New York City Center was going to be a full night. There were 11 dances scheduled. For this night, I was on the right side of the front mezzanine so part of the right side of the stage was cut off. And because of […]
For the second night of the Vail Dance Festival: ReMix NYC at New York City Center I was sitting in the second row of the center rear mezzanine. I thought it was going to be a bad seat but the rows are steep so there’s no danger of a large head or tall person blocking […]
When I was at Fall for Dance, I saw an ad for the upcoming programs and one of them was a NYC edition of the Vail Dance Festival where Damian Woetzel is the artistic director. Woetzel was a principal dancer for the NYC Ballet and I’d seen him years ago. He leapt across the stage […]
“They grew up in a small neighborhood in Forest Hills, Queens. After they moved to the East Village in the 1970s, their music and image changed the world forever.” I very much wanted to see The Ramones exhibit at the Queens Museum: Hey! Ho! Let’s Go: Ramones and the Birth of Punk, which ran from […]
I hadn’t been to see my friends’ band The TarantinosNYC in some time and a Sunday summer afternoon at the Riis Park Beach Bazaar at Jacob Riis State Park seemed like the perfect opportunity. I hadn’t been to Riis Park since I was teenager and I’d always been taken by car so I didn’t think […]
It was a busy week. Gall bladder surgery, Broadway show, nephew’s JHS graduation, and Shakespeare in Central Park. The graduation and Shakespeare were the same day so I took a nap in-between and then met rtb, violaleeblue, and mollyT at Central Park up near 103rd Street. I’d seen New York Classical Theatre productions at that […]
I haven’t been to an event for Live from the NYPL at the main branch of the New York Public Library since December 2011. I did have tickets for three events in the fall/winter of 2012 but it looks like I never attended any of them, which is a shame. That was when I was […]
Normally Lucero performs in NYC twice a year – we get them in the spring and then in the fall/winter. This year we didn’t get them in the spring so we haven’t seen them for a year but at least we got them twice (Long Island and Brooklyn) this weekend. I know they’ve been busy […]
My boys are in town for my birthday weekend. Isn’t that nice of them to do that for me? Back in July tickets went on sale for Lucero’s fall tour. They were playing in Williamsburg on the day after my birthday, which was exciting enough. Then I saw that they were playing on Long Island […]
