First Thing's First
I have much to report, but first of all: The SHOW on Tuesday. Nuts! The best! The apex, creme de la creme, super best show of all Inner Monologues. Guess that kinda makes sense, cuz it was the tenth show. A sort of anniversary?
Not only did we pack the entire upstairs room (which officially seats about 65 people) with people all crammed into the seats, standing against the walls, and milling about the back of the room, but we had some people in the other room where they watched the show through live TV by the bar. I have no clue who all those people were! They just were...there. I think the performers did a great job of rallying their friends to come.
Dan is going to make me a website where I will post all the pieces that were read. Some highlights: Abby started off the night (I always make the new ones go first) with a story about a very strange night at the Opera. Koba told us about a beautiful blonde who threw up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, and tried to make up for it in her own way. Julie told us about her undying love for Shelley Long. Emily spoke about a brief encounter on the subway with an old camp acquaintance who remembered that she was his first kiss, and had hoped that he was hers too (Wrong!). Raquel had people laughing so hard we were in tears--her impression of her very smart and worldly boyfriend's hick parents ("Raaaqwell, thas mah good robe, doncha go fartin' in it") was priceless. Dave recounted a plane ride with a porn star seated on one side of him, and a Yeshiva student on the other. Jess Delfino surprised us all with her head to toe red suit and rocker boots, and her rap song, "My Pussy is Magic" (you had to be there. Maybe one of the best things I've ever seen in my life). Finally, ThisisJoshua closed the night with his classics: "Senior Citizen Lovin', and "NYU Girls Wouldn't Talk to Me If I Were On Fire With a Bag Full of Money."
I am so excited to do it all over again. I felt like complete ass that day--allergies were at their all time worse. And I had to get up early that day for Justin's graduation ceremony for NYU, at Madison Square Garden. I was drugged up on Afrin, Sudafed, and Allegra. By the time the show started I was running on pure adrenaline. It was great to see my Grandparents in the city and sit down at a little booth for lunch and catch up. Usually we're all spread out at a big dinner table, but this time, we could all actually hear each other. Justin was really happy and we were all so proud. Sad though, he's definitely going to Israel for Med School.
Off to see "Stick It" with D. More later.
