Curating 07

(More blog entries from kellykelly)

Why do I have that Fatboy Slim sound stuck in my head..."...the weekend starts here."

Curating 07 Thursday: after Kevin and I left a dinner party at Clare Bennett's we head up to Harlem club Shrine, owned by our good man Abdel. Tonight was about celebrating Easy Networks's birthday. I don't go to bed til 2 am...

Friday: worked on TFC/Crown Point from 9:30 am til 11:40 pm, when I meet Kevin outside Mo Pitkin's for the new show "Shells" by Bros before Hoes. J'adore Nick Chase and Roslyn Hart.

Kev and I sit down at a table close to the stage. The show is sold out but we're some of the first to get in and we grab great seats. Some guy stumbles over to us, half smiles, then takes an uneasy seat at the chair right at the stage, two inches from the speaker.

The show starts off with the band Jaguar. Kev loves the first sone but it's the second one that has me happy. By this time, we notice drunk crumpled man at the edge of the stage is completely passed out asleep and drooling on himself. Despite being 2 feet from Jaguar's in effect drum kit. I didn't take a pic cause that's just mean. But Kev and I did giggle a lot when a big stream of drool dribbled off his chin.

Jaguar's last song got me dancing. I now love Jaguar.

Roslyn takes the stage as Shells and I love her. She takes my love of cabaret horror and tears the rook off of Mo Pitkins. I've been thinking a lot about improv and sketch comedy and want to talk to Chris if we can get different groups we love like Bros and Whitest Kids and others to do some stuff at the festival.

Anyway...

We leave Mo's at 2 am, try to get a slice at Two Boot and run into an attractive tall, put together but completely wasted guy who points at me and Kev and says, "Hey! You guys are walking! Awrugh!" Literally he said that - "Awrugh!" We avoid Two Boots and go home.


Saturday: Hook up with Flynn, Lord Easy, Sugarman, Kev and more and we head over to the Jelly NYC/IImpose Party at Canal Room. The latest issue of Impose - swoon! El-P, Shy Child and breakdancing competitions in Brazil. And Flynn's right: Yoko Ono is one of the oldest ladies with the hottest legs. I digress. Sarah Hooper looked amazing - best dress collection ever. More digressions.

I try to get a drink from the waitress with my Impose drink ticket. The waitress tells our table that our drink tickets are no good. I reply sincerely, "well what are they good for, lap dances?" Waitress walks away. We all decide that from then on when drink tickets don't work to ask if it's good for lap dances. And we decide that the waitress sucked. We were given our "real drink tickets" and got a big table and divided and conquered on the dance floor and more. The DJ was "eh" but then Shy Child came on. As far as I am concerned, snarky waitress was worth getting through to wait for these two gems. Hearts.

Sunday - what'd I do Sunday. Oh, stayed in an worked all day, 'cept for the Whitest Kids U'Know show at Pianos. Timmy is my new favorite Coco.

Weekend is over and and we got a bunch of film submissions in - some from Spain, Montana, and UK even. Hell yeah. Naftali's kicking ass on Without a Boxand life is good.

Crown Point - more design coming soon. Chris' new biz cards are so hot they make me jealous.
