Patron of the Arts
ok so I have been feeling very cultured lately in the past 7 days I attended 3 Art events:
1. Bridge & Tunnel- Friday night with Sam
2. The Seven- Saturday Night with Russatta & Maj
3. The Black Fine Arts Show- Thursday Night with Russatta & Kevin
Bridge and Tunnel is an amazing one woman show, where she does about 12 characters all immigrants and touchs on a lot of important issues that we dont normally talk about. I really enjoyed the show and laughed all night. I recommend everyone go see it.
The Seven....ok i dont know where to start with this one but this was my favorite of all three events. I guess I should start by saying that it is playing at the New York Theater Workshop if you know the theater scene then i am sure you have heard of this place. So back to the performance. It is a hip-hop remake of the classic Greek Tragedy Seven againt Thebes.... Ok dust off those HS & College textbook the story line is basically starts where the King Oedipus story leaves off. I LOVED IT...please go see it, we found out after that all shows are $20 on Sundays.
The Black Fine Arts Show...ok so highlight of the evening.... a Gallery owner basically sized our trio up and lets us know "you are my future customers". Translation come back in 10 years when you grow up and can drop $85M ....thats right boys and girls $85,ooo on a pretty picture to hang in your Apt. I love the scene though and always feel quite sophistcated to sip wine, walk, smooze, and talk about art with great company. I am learning more and more about art and have 3 peices at home...my friend Rico is teaching me how to be an Art Snob ;o)
Next week it is on to see Evidence perform... i am really looking forward to this one. A friend of mine dances in the company (can we say beautiful body) and I have seen them perform before....Oh yeah one last thing Kevin was looking really good in that suit!
...if that's my Kevin -and yeah i said my kevin...but technically he's grant's kevin...or wait no that's kevin's grant and my kevin so really grant is mine too :)- ...anyway where was i? oh yeah, kevin is always hot ...in a suit, a dashiki, sweats...whatever.
ReplyDelete...and he knows it. that's the funny part.
see you at Evidence...I never miss Ron Brown when he's in NYC. I'm there on 2/12 with a date whom I hope cancels on me :o) and yes, I'm very serious about the cancel part...he bullied his way into my day and I'm not feeling his 2/14 vibe..."a mere man with a pulse doth not a Valentine make." That's my Shakespearian voice of reason.
