Springtime in New York

Where are my manners? I can only apologise for not keeping you fully up to date with my doings. I'm off to New York at the end of March with Chris to see Buffy Sainte-Marie in concert at the Highline Ballroom. I was supposed to see her play there last summer but went into hospital instead, so I'm pleased to have another opportunity (and I'm hoping that's when the new album will be released). I've never been to New York in springtime so that should be nice.

We're staying at the historic The Algonquin Hotel near Times Square, so will be nicely central. Going to New York means doing stuff so, although I don't like planning too much ahead of a holiday, it's always useful to book a few things in advance, particularly for the evenings. I've ordered tickets to see 'Curtains' which looks like it should be fun and, courtesy of Mistress Duzur (who lives round the corner), we have tickets to see 'Sunday In The Park With George' on the Sunday afternoon at Studio 54 (this is the production that I saw at the Chocolate Factory a year or two ago). I'm sure it will be most odd going into Studio 54 in daylight, given it's history, but I have fond memories of seeing a sleazy 'Cabaret' there years ago and drinking giant JD and cokes.

I'd like to do something a bit more rock'n'roll one evening but am out of ideas now that CBGB's has shut, so any suggestions (nice ones!) will be welcome. I'm quite looking forward to browsing in Virgin Times Square at midnight, y'know, shopping at a sensible time!
