I didn’t get to shoot a lot of the show, but here are a handful of performance shots from last weeks Nerdlesque Festival at Webster Hall.

The very first time I saw Fury Road, on the way out I commented to my friend that I could not wait to see all the upcoming burlesque based on it. And lo and behold!

This act is from last week’s Nerdlesque Festival in NYC. I don’t know exactly who is who, but I do know they are all fantastic. The lineup credit is “Furiosa’s Femmes featuring members of Nerd Girl Burlesque, PeepshowTO, and Queen of Cups (Toronto CAN).”

If this is the sort of thing totes your goat, and of course it is, you should probably also watch this.

The last time I saw Nine Inch Nails was at Bowery Ballroom in 2009. I’m not into festival or arena shows, so I think I had basically assumed I would not see them live again and was mostly okay with that.

But then my Monday took a turn…

Last week was supposed to be super awesome, but I ended up getting sick AGAIN (I KNOW) and so it was only a little bit awesome.

Most of the awesome occurred on Tuesday night, when I went to the show at the Studio at Webster Hall. I already had the beginnings of my current death-plague, and so perhaps the more practical thing would have been to go home and sleep. But the lineup was pretty badass (George & Jonathan, Fiasco, Starscream) and Webster Hall is near S'Mac, and mac n cheese is good comfort food for sick people, so I went. The show was awesome, and I’m especially glad I went now that I’ve learned George is switching coasts and there aren’t likely to be any more G&J live shows for some time.

The rest of the week was supposed to be filled with gaming and more shows and staying up late and being rowdy, but instead it was filled with pajamas and tissues and hot tea and feeling miserable. My hope is that this week will contain less of that, and more of the fun stuff.

Last night was pretty much a perfect New York evening, the kind that makes me happier than I can say with my life as it is right now. And I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the evening of the 4th than at a picnic on the roof of the McKittrick, watching fireworks with friends & fellow drunks.

eleven years ago tonight! I believe this was the only 4th of july event the mckittrick has ever had, and it was also the first event held at gallow green.
