This was my third time at Bowery Electric this year. The first was for Tommy Stinson (which was this summer and I still haven’t written up yet) and then to see a friend’s band, Pale Moon Gang (which I’m not going to write up), and then finally to see James Chance and the Contortions two […]
I shouldn’t read my Playbill. Reading an ad during Fall for Dance made me want to go to the Vail Dance Festival: ReMix NYC. And reading an ad during the Vail Dance Festival: ReMix NYC made me want to go see Chita: Nowadays at Carnegie Hall. Chita is, of course, Miss! Chita! Rivera! who I […]
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 […]
