The Slipper Room!!!!!!!!!!!   I am proud to say that My dear friend Rudi Macaggi invited La Princesa Mandarina to his weekly show at the Slipper room!  Every Wednesday night at 9pm this is an hour and half of brilliant uplifting comedy, acrobatics, dance, and live music.  You must see Lea McGowan the Swan, the Doll and the Snake.  www.slipperroom.com

The www.michaelalanart.com  come one come all these events are always full of surprise appearences,  you walk into a surreal world .  If you missed my trojan horse,  there are images on flicker and through Michael Alan Art.  DON"T MISS THE NRXT DRAW-A-THON!!!!!!!!!

OK everyone this past week has been full of inspiration and talent!!!!   NYC is amazing lets start backwards...  Last night in Williamsburg I attended the last performance of Turkey (a dramatization)  conceived by Abby Bender.  I applaud you Abby!  The work was full of subtle emotions,  we feel this and you were able to bring it to the audience without words,  The script was brilliant and the dance and movement transformed the space and the energy in the room many times.  I arrived just before the show began to watch my friend Sarah Edwards my fellow draw-a-thon partner.  If anyone has every  tried to quit smoking you will appreciate this so much.  Hopefully there will be another run  soon!

Friday night Julia, Jessica and I went to watch our Friend Dana perform in a play:  The Go Go Killers,  if you love 60 movies about women being tuff and dancing in go go  boots this will feel like a time machine.  Dana was the leader of the pack!  After the show I went off to TANGO as you may know this is one of my favorite events  You can always find me caring a pair of dance shoes in my bag,  waiting for a tango to begin.  More events to come with Tango I will be throwing a few parties this summer that can't be missed.  The first of which is a tango for music lovers at KGB bar on June8th @ 8pm www.kgbbar.com live music.

A rainy day

Getting into this,  Remember to practice practice practice. Vision,  The water makes me smell the city as if it was new.  Fresh Open to possibilities.  Key Word for tonight: June 26.

How many of you like walking in the rain?  Why do people complain so much about mild rain,  I find myself lost walking when it rains,  feeling the drops fall over me,  the cooling of the  air.  I love the days like this,  No Umbrellas for me.

Last night running around in Bk,  a night full of rain drizzle.  You can feel the energy of Spring time,  the excitement the desire to run around barefoot and carefree,  but it's still too early for that.  Dancing the night away at the Charleston,  with Richard and his Cane.  This man reminds me that life is a bout positive outlook, and a little perversion.  He was in town to see his son's band Baby Brother (I will keep you updated on Baby Brother events - they are a force!) .  I met him late in the evening as they walked into the Charleston,  two generations of Men Richard, Vincent, and Brian.  The joy he felt watching and enjoying there company.  

"Go out and have sons"  He said to the men in our group.  

Pictures too come soon....
