Another Shanghai Mermaid has come and gone. A doosey. This time at the Brooklyn Lyceum which was decked out and reminded me of an old USO show, maybe. A big space with finally enough room for everyone so it wasn’t so body – to – body. Still about 400 people there!
The highlights: We got to perform with Veronica Varlow. We did the piece that we did in her video. (FYI, the video nears completion and looks great) This is actually the first time we’ve been able to perform it live. The last time we tried we got shut down by the cops in flagrante delicto. This time was great. V.V. loves us and wants to create more oevre.
Stefan in his own delicto, inadvertently kicked his metal clarinet off the stage THREE TIMES in the very first set of the night! That thing is clearly Stefan proof. It works just fine. Stefan did the wonderful, party-stopping, breath-taking hysterics that include barging through all the table with his tenor, dancing and humping his tenor in front of / along / against a dancing girl.
Tuba Joe had a huge show. Man, that guy can play the TUBA. Dude.
Fun for all it would seem. Shout out to our favorite bartender CHAD PARKS. You rock, my man.
