Truly Madly Deeply

Good evening all,

I am just getting home from a very delightful evening. After a long (honey, let's put an emphasis on the LONG...and not in a good way) day at work, I met up with nine of my chums at L'Express for some lovely French bistro fare. I'd like to give a big ups to Annie and her "documents". Loves it.

After dinner, we rolled to Belmont Lounge for Mr. Jordan's birthday celebration. What a delicious turnout! Lots of good peeps, hot R&B bumpin in the background...It was the hotness. However, I had to flee early to meet Ms. Sabrina and Ms. Jacky at Joe's Pub for the event of a decade.

Let me break it down...Jacky and I have had a long standing love and fascination for a certain gorgeous Australian duo for the past decade: Savage Garden. Year after year, in the mid-90's, when they were touring, something would prevent us from seeing them live in concert. Then, to the misfortune of us all, the duo split and we thought that was the end of it. Well, imagine our divine delight when we came to find out that Mr. Darren Hayes was playing a two night stand at Joe's Pub!

Let me tell you, girl. This audience was NOT what we were expecting. My assumption was that the venue would be packed with old queens tossing their weaves at each other, a few Europeans and Australians, and a few ladies. Not the case! This place looked like an unsuccessful Weight Watchers meeting. Fag hags galore, a few STRAIGHT couples, and a sprinkling of the men who dig men. Curious, George.

The show was one of the most over the top vocal performances I've ever seen! He sounded great! Flawless! I will question the odd sporadic dance move on a little stage though, but overall...loves it. It was indeed so gay, and so delicious, that when everyone walked out, we all had a little KY dripping down our legs.

One of the highlights of the show was when he said, "I now wear glasses...Oh, and I'm gay!". And the reaction? Hysterical screaming and applause from all the ladies in the audience! WHAT?!?!? Only in NYC (and probably in San Francisco...).

He did bring out a few Savage Garden songs, but to my dismay, the only "hit" was "I Want You" (Read: Che-che-che-cherry cola!). Excuse me Ms. Darren, but where was the "Truly Madly Deeply"? Where was the "I Knew I Loved You"? I know solo artists don't want to be type casted into their former bands, but c'mon! Your solo stuff isn't even released in the States! We were all there for the Savage Garden hits!

Irregardless, the show was a lovely spectacle and the three of us had a dandy time. Big ups to Ms. Sabrina for hooking us up!

Long day tomorrow so I need to hang up my weave, wash, tone and moisturize this mug, and get my situation in bed.

Ta-ta!
