Big doin's down at the club this week..
Fred and Ethel are helping me work up one of their old vaudeville routines, Mrs. Trumbull is watching little Jetty, and that crazy redhead is scheming to ride a horse across the stage while on roller skates.
But seriously it's the official unofficial start of the event/holiday/party scene here in NYC. And we have two weeks of pretty big bookings starting tonight and ending next week with Halloween. Then we get a day off followed by six more days of bookings after which the office Christmas parties should be revving up. It's exhausting and exciting and hopefully highly profitable for all involved.
Tonight kicks things off with a free concert performance by none other than the lovely and talented Alicia Keys. It's being sponsored by Heinekin and promises to be quite a scene at the door as only invited guests of Alicia Keys and Heinekin will be allowed in. I do love standing at the door and not finding some self important nobody important enough to get me to lift a finger to get him or her on a guest list. Many people in this city have an over-developed sense of entitlement. And I'm just the queen to take them down a notch. I do these things for the betterment of us all.
Meanwhile, I'm taking the lead in making sure that hospitality and VIP arrangements for Alicia Keys are done right. Of course, we received her backstage rider the morning of her appearance, so I'm afraid she won't be getting her six packets of instant oatmeal. I hope it doesn't affect her performance.
UPDATE: Alicia Keys just took the stage. She's very pretty. I've been here 12 hours now. This is the first time I'm truly satisfied with how we've taken care of a celebrity performer backstage. Her security, dressing room and kitchen/hospitality staff did a great job. She got her instant oatmeal.
