Its Sunday morning and I woke up with a bit of a sinus headache. My allergies have been a constant presence lately, which really sucks, but there could be worse worries, couldn’t there? Last night BC, myself and Lon Ellenberger saw Nina Hagen last night the Estrojam Festival. I don’t even know what it is. It’s LADY oriented and there were a mix of punk, hippy and to my horror of horrors the hippy/punk chicks (I have to think of a name for them). They obviously are trying to combine both elements of style and fail miserably at both. They are more likely to be excepted by hippy chicks then punk chicks because of course, the hippies are nicer and are least likely to tell them to fuck off. Nina is one of the few who can pull of the punk hippy chick thing in my eyes. One of my biggest gripes about these women is their inability to wear the right make-up and accessories and clothing. Nina looked HOT. She’s lost a bit of weight since I last saw her, so she’s even slimmer (not that she looked bad before), and she was her ususal funny, loving, very eccentric NINA SELF. My only gripe is she was a little more hippy in her song choices. Closing with Save the Children as she strummed the guitar was a little too Airplane meets Sid and Nancy for me. I like her positive messages yelled and snarled through a wall of kick in the door guitar riffs, but, hey, it’s her show and she does what she wants. I still love the gal.

I have to skip church to go to a meeting at the Bailiwick Theater (big news coming) and go shopping with Heath Hays, are set designer. Heaths a very cool guy. Quiet, married to a very talented actress and is just a man of few words who knows how to build things. Now I’m off to finish memorizing Act 2 of Caged Dames and work on my choreography.
