Gay Pride with Robbiej at The Duplex - Updated Info!

Hey gays (and those of you that wish you were),

This coming Sunday is the big Gay Pride Parade here in little old New York. And everyone's favorite Basket Case (that would be me) is hosting the Gay Pride Extravaganza at The Duplex. From 1pm to 7pm, I will be providing color commentary on the proceedings, which will be broadcast live on the big screen in the upstairs cabaret space. It'll be like a gayer, less Botoxed Joan and Missy Rivers Red Carpet Special!

There will be live music provided by moi (accompanied by the bear-licious former drum major Ray Fellman) and featured special guests David Gurland (spectacular star of "Neurotica") and Gashole (the fabulous Michael Holland and Karen Mack). The glorious, multi-award winning singer Brandon Cutrell will be slinging drinks and belting out a few as well. And perhaps there may be a celebrity guest commentator. Games will be played, barbs will be made and, by hour 4, I'll probably been in full mental collapse a la Judy Garland circa 1967.

There is no cover. Just come on in and tie a few on (21 and over please). You may find yourself on stage with me!!

The Duplex is located at 61 Christopher Street at 7th Ave South.

Personally, I don't think anyone cares that you don't personally think this is the place for this posting.

Robbie's been here, what, over two years?
You've been here, what, over two months?

Posting what?
You mean something off topic?
Songs that may include show tunes?
In a great cabaret space where several members have performed before? To great acclaim?

May try and stop by, robbie...

Absolutely appropriate. I wish I could be there Robbiej, but I'll be back in LA from my 5 days in New York.

What kind of timing is that, ESL??? Girl...call the airline! Change that ticket.

Cookie, you know I'm getting you onstage if you stop by. Just warning you now!

And it's perfectly appropriate to post it here cause I'm a star!

Oh how I wish I could be there! That sounds like my kind of Pride Parade.

PS - I got you another pack of cigarettes.

And don't forget...the night before the Parade, David Gurland will be performing his smash show Neurotica at the Ace of Clubs in the East Village. It's a spectacular show, with amazing arrangements by Michael Holland. It's $12 and there's no drink minimum (or maximum for you lushes!).

i happen to agree and your response is very mean spirited. in the spirit of gay pride i would think you might have just a tad more respect for people. how unfortunate for you to be so mean.

Sounds very over-the-top and trashy ..... as does anything associated with you, b*tch.

I might have to swing by.

Wait till we play Pin the Tail on the Bottom!!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 6/20/05 at 3:28pm

as opposed to just Pin the Bottom?

[robbiej]

Posted: 6/20/05 at 3:30pm

Well...I have to sugarcoat it to get you on that stage, now don't I, Cookie?

[Al Dente]

Yes, by all means, lets have yet another thread about how amazing and awesome Idina Menzel is, and if Shoshana is a great "rifter" and what parts Sutton should do next and what mistakes Cheno made during Wicked....A YEAR AGO. If you ask me, it's far more wildly inappropriate to rehash crap on this board 40 thousand times than to celebrate something and someone worth celebrating. Break legs Robbie, will be there in spiritus.

Sara Ramirez is so awesome.

OMG, can you believe how high Eden can belt! Isn't BKLYN the best show ever? Yes, certainly much more apropo and meaningful.

Sounds like fun. Please make sure to announce your BWW names when you do something embarrassing.

Now that sounds like a blast! I have only been to the Duplex once but enjoyed it when I was there. (Won't say when, I will TRULY date myself!!!) I am hoping to do NY gay pride in the next few years. I always work the booth for the Denver Center of Performing Arts on Pride day. And ours is this Sunday also. Have one for me!!!!! (Ok...have about 6 or 7 for me!!!) Happy Pride week everyone!!!
