Good morning peeps!
In a case of tit for tat, our good friend and Bingo guest for tonight, Jay Roth, had to cancel due to a last minute work schedule thing down at his day job ground zero, Nasty Pig. Some big storm or something
just fucked everything UP!
But like the trooper he is, our pal Jay referred me to another hottie mchotowitz, David Terzian, who'll join us to strip and make us all swoon. Yum. Bring your dollars boys, this is going to be one of THOSE kinds of nights.
So we got some 'boom boom boom' going on but we've also got one of my favorite guests, the always fabulous Terese Genecco fresh off gigs at Iridium and Below 54! She'll sing and talk about life as an emerging New York icon. :)
All this will be to benefit one of my favorite charities - the men's singing group Uptown Express who'll be there to sell Bingo cards and perform.
So lots of music, and lotsa hottie to give us all an awesome evening out on the town. After Sandy, Nor'easter Athena was just a blip on the radar. (A slushy, cold blip but a blip nonetheless)
