TO DO: “Pussy Faggot”
TONIGHT @ The Delancey, ubiquitous downtown producer Earl Dax is throwing a birthday bash for himself, which doubles as a fundraiser for Dixon Place’s HOT! Festival of queer performance.
In light of Claudia La Rocco’s insightful piece on the negative impact capital campaigns and anchoring real estate ventures can have on the missions of small [...]
Grab Bag
A few things worth noting…
Right now, there’s a pretty raging debate over the use of animals in performance over at L. Ro.’s Performance Club. C.C. is like “umm, dogs can’t consent to making art,” and others are like, “well, he’s having fun, so chill the fuck out!”
People are also commenting about other aspects of National [...]
Performance Club, Now from concentrate!
I don’t know what’s going on with the folks over at WNYC. They just can’t seem to figure out how to solve a problem like La Rocco (Claudia La Rocco, that is…)
Does everyone remember the good old days when L. Ro. had her own blog, and it was like a huge success?!
And then remember when [...]
CC4NYCO: Coda
So, umm…guess who totally met George Steel last night!? That’s right. Little ole me! And I didn’t even have to try.
During the intermission of the gala performance at Carnegie Hall–What? Did you think I wasn’t going to go, just because I lost? Fat chance!–L. Ro and I were wending our way down the staircase, looking [...]
M5 – Rear Balcony
So, umm, this is my seat for Thursday night’s New York City Opera gala concert performance of Barber’s Antony & Cleopatra at Carnegie Hall.
I figured if I’m going to be running the place and all, I should probably show face.
I couldn’t afford the $1,000 it takes to get into the black tie affair before the [...]

The Not So Short List
Since announcing my candidacy for the directorship of New York City Opera, my team has worked hard and tirelessly to flesh out a not-so-short list of nominees for the proposed para-advisory board that will help me reshape the future of New York City Opera.
We have cast a wide net in order to ensure that every [...]

Counter Critic for the Directorship of The New York City Opera
“A Key-Change We Need”
[Update: WATCH VIDEO]
Preamble
I hereby announce my candidacy to assume directorship of The New York City Opera.
In these uncertain times, artistic organizations need stalwart leadership that will provide vision, direction, and most importantly, thought that isn’t lodged in the dark recesses of somebody’s [...]
“The Christ in Me” and “The Bagwell in Me”: A comparative analysis
Below, you will find a post that I prepared weeks ago but didn’t get around to finalizing. It’s a revisit to Ann Liv Young’s “The Bagwell in Me.” It’s a kind of mega-rant, full of twists and turns, perversities, theories, doubts, and, as always, criticisms. I know this makes me officially obsessed with her work, [...]
