In a few weeks, my friends, I will be 40. And before that happens, I want to celebrate. Because I could very well bust a hip or something if I wait until afterward.
So, on October 3rd, five days before the clock strikes old, Kathy & I are going to the New York Burlesque Festival at BB Kings. We're buying $25 general admission tickets. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:30. Meet us in line (we'll probably line up around 5:30 for good seats), and we'll all go in together!
If you haven't been to a burlesque show before, let me tell you what it isn't: It's not some sleazy strip club. There ain't no lap dances, ain't no "champagne room." What it is is a bunch of grownups putting on a sexy, funny show, full of bawdy jokes, risque dancing, and maybe even a little carnival sideshow thrown in for good measure. It's so much better than stripping: It's what you thought stripping was when you were a little kid. You'll have a blast.
So check out the link above, and this video preview. Or read this review of a Starshine Burlesque show from a few years ago. And join us as I get old before your very eyes!

(P.S. No gifts, please -- tickets are 25 bucks apiece, plus service charges, so go easy on yerselves!)
(Also: I realize this *is* an expensive night out. If you can't make it, I totally understand.)

Yeah, you'd better get out there and have some fun while you can, ya young turk! Before you know it, you'll be sitting in the front of the house and telling kids to get off your lawn (if you have one)!
Where's my Metamucil?
We've got balcony tickets to see David Sedaris in Easton at the State Theatre.
So, we'll be thinking of you while we laugh at David's Truman Capote-esque readings.
