... In which I show up 40 minutes late...
But not on purpose. I left Union Square at 8:10pm to go to Metropolitan / Lorimer on the L, which is a 10-minute voyage, normally. Before that, I saw a totally awesome reading at The Strand featuring John S Hall and others. I heard about it from Uncle Shappy, who rules.
So anyway I was on the subway until 8:45pm, and then they finally ended up turning around and taking us back into Manhattan. I was sad, but we keep at it, so we all hiked from 1st and 14th down to Delancy and Essex, where we hopped on the JMZ train. So I got there at 9:40pm for my 9pm show. But it all turned out okay, because I didn't end up hitting the stage until around 11:20pm or so, so that was fine!
What a night. A guitar singer / songwriter, a blues duo, a sex worker and yours truly. Yes, literally a sex worker. In fact, the name of her act was "I Am A Sex Worker". She read descriptions of her job and clients. It was very intriguing. One of my friends on the west coast does a performance show about sex workers as well.. Maybe they should hook up, if they haven't already. "Hook up" as in do something together. Non-sexually. Performance-wise. Oh, you know what I'm trying to say. Blast you!! Always perverting my innocent musings!! You reader, you!!
They had wireless mics which always wins in my book. I got to dance with the crowd during my set and even rap to a special guy who happened to be sitting right by the stage. It was very personal. We have fun. It all went down here:

The show happens every Monday night.. Be there!!! I will hopefully be performing again there in another few months. Every week promises to be awesome, no matter who is on stage!
