it's gay pride week in new york, which is always kinda festive. last nite i went to hear the gay men's chorus in the nokia center doing billy strayhorn. the nokia is a converted movie theatre and they did a great job; the chorus is always in fine form tho i turn out not to be a huge fan of billy. i did love the guy who was doing the signing for the audience and some of the gear was inspiring. my fondest memory of the gmc is at carengie hall with carol channing who pointed out that her voice was the lowest on stage...teehee. also went to a lincoln center event talking about all the cool summer programs.

on sunday, felt like i covered the emotional american landscape: saw stephen lang doing his one man show about the metal of honor winners called beyond honor and a cute cast downtown doing size zero about adolescent angst and bulimia.

all this was a reward for appearing at the wor health fair and introducing the crowd to yoga, breathing, self massage (not that kind) and a guided visualization and relaxation which was then able to be purchased. got to meet and greet lots of folks.

is new york fun or what?

i suspect most of y'all were watching tony and the gang last nite, but i was glued to the tonys, get the pun, teehee, which is always a terrific show and last nite didn't disappoint; the musical numbers are all smooth, since they've been doing 'em eight times a week and seeing the legends. ok, so alot of the dresses and hairdos were a little lame, but the speeches were terrific; two surprises, one delightful, one ridiculous, but i'll let you sort that out on your own. viva la broadway, though if we'd been subjected to one more promo for the new viva laughlin show i would have thrown something at the tv and could cbs have been more venal about promoting their shows and talent? hey folks - it's about theatre, not tv. ah well.

i'm getting so into this blogging thing that my assistant has convinced me to jump into this techno geekdom full tilt and yeah, i'm going for it...myspace...i'm also just putting the finishing touches on a parade article about snooping and a relaxation and visualization tape. spring is here, life is good, the program is jumping these days and none of us should sweat the small stuff and yeah, most if not all of it is small stuff. toodles
