Greetings from Florida! I have abandoned the cold weather of New York City to come down south for the Coral Cove Park engagement of Rachelle and Brice. I do miss New York, but the weather here has been absolutely beautiful: not a cloud in sight, and no humidity. It won’t last, but for now Florida…

On Sunday, I attended the Atlas Obscura burlesque history lecture and cabaret performance at Acme Studios in Brooklyn. Performing that night were Albert Cadabra, Dirty Martini, Gin Minsky, Corvette Le Face, Ms. Tickle and Melody Jane. Here is a link to a full description of the evening.
