ETA: For some reason this did not post last week, so I am posting it now.
Welcome back! I'm kind of enjoying writing these Travelog Blog Posts. It's so nice to not have an "Issue" to deal with or something to bitch about. Anyway...it is now Sunday in New York City.
Michael Buble--
We aren't sure how it happened, but somehow Siobhan and I both managed to miss the fact that Michael Buble, one of our favorite singers was performing at Madison Square Garden while we were in town. Thankfully we caught this error in time to get tickets. It was the 100th performance of his Crazy Love tour and it was amazing. If you haven't seen Michael live, I highly recommend it. At the end of the concert he put down his microphone, took off his ear piece, they closed the curtain on the band he sang acapella. Unaided, his voice filled MSG and it was perhaps the most amazing thing I have ever seen a live performer attempt. The man truly has a set of pipes!
Pretty great seats for a sold out event!
Showtune Monday at Splash--
This evening I met one of Kevin's New York Friends, Dan for drinks at Splash. Splash is a very popular gay bar in Chelsea. On Monday's the place is filled with every gay theatre queen in the city to sing along to every broadway showtune you can possibly imagine exists. It's great fun, and we try to do it every year when I'm in town. The drinks are also 2 for 1, and that never hurts. What sucks is that had I been in town for just a few more days I could have seen Kristen Chenowith perform here on Saturday night...that would have been over-the-top amazing!
Didn't have a pic from Splash, so here is Times
Square at night from my hotel room
That was the New York Trip, I may not enjoy the city, but I have to admit there are some fun things to do there. It's good to be home now for the Holiday's. Time to decorate and eat, and lets not forget the cocktails!!!!
I am very jealous of the Michael Buble tickets! Would have loved to see him! Even more so, would love to be at Splash on a Monday. Even as a straight gal, I'll bet I could sing more showtunes than many of you gay boys!
ReplyDeleteThe only Michael Buble I've heard was his cover of a Michael Jackson song. It was good. That was a brave thing to do at MSG! I may have to check him out now.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would so enjoy going to Splash - even as a straight girl as Kim put it!
