I’m here blogging live from Fire Island where we are, at this very second, watching Phantom of the Paradise, which is like a seventies version of Phantom of the Opera. Complete with a phantom wearing a motorcycle helmet, black lipstick and a pleather body suit. One part goth, one part WTF. Oh also he has metal teeth and talks through a vocoder too, though I am not sure why. Paul Williams is in it oh yes, that Paul Willams, of Muppets fame, Mr Rainbow Connection. Look, this is all very confusing and I’d recommend you to watch this movie, but actually you could just kick yourself in the nuts to get the same experience. And if you don’t have any nuts to kick just find the nearest pair and go to town. Why are we watching this? No idea. It’s amazing.

Anyway on Friday night at 9:30 I’ll be reading at the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art. They’re hosting a film series called Cabaret Cinema where you get a drink and watch a movie, two great tastes that taste great together. I’ll be reading something mysterious, meaning I am not sure what I’m reading. And I’ll be introducing Nobody Knows, a Japanese movie about kids who are abandoned in Tokyo. It’s hilarious, if you think bawling your eyes out is hilarious, that is. Come and watch and listen and be a cultured winner. Winner! Annietown is for WINNERS ONLY.

And if you want to be an extra winner, on THURSDAY night you can come to the Last Known Settlers show at Matchless in hip Greenpoint (Manhattan Ave & Driggs). We go on at 10. Yes it’s late and yes it’s a school night. Be a WINNER. Two nights of Annie HFS OMG!!!

Ok end of promo/self sucking.
