WHAT A SHOW! I’ve seen St. Vincent twice (once with David Byrne 😍) and she is mesmerizing. Yves Tumor is such a cool artist, too!!

I have seen her (*counts*) 5 times. I didn’t see her full show with David Byrne but he came out at her American Songbook show at Lincoln Center 🥰

My black cats, Dexter and Harrison, are living vicariously through Annie’s and Talula’s creative dispatches from the place to which their people keep saying they want to move.

I LOVE the dispatches from your cats. I bought a shirt, bracelet and button that all reference being a Cat Lady for Kamala and I especially like my black cat oversized bead on my bracelet. Thanks for the Churu rec!

We have the Greek Festival here this weekend and my friend who runs the cat rescue we adopted our cats from has a table there this weekend and I’m looking forward to going tomorrow. Sunday is Greensboro Pride and I had a great time taking my kids last year and the Guilford County Democrats will also have a table there. The weather is finally feeling more fall so it will be nice to get out after 4 days of rainy weather. It is beautiful here today.

Amazing! One of my besties lives in Hillsborough - the weather must be getting lovely there right now.

And yes get the Churu. Idk what they put in it but they go insane for it!

Love your St. Vincent success story. She is worth navigating through some fuckery to see. I just bought tix to see her open for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in April and I'm already working on my strategy to make it through the whole show.

Thanks for the mention of my piece. And FTR the world needs more cat dialogue, less cats in the news. Perhaps Talula and Annie have a black box show about Churo or dental rage they're itching to produce.

Ooooh yes the Nick Cave show! Should be amazing and hopefully there will be actual seats.

Annie and Talula will take your proposal into consideration 🤣

Love seeing someone write like my mind works, very much why I came to Substack. And in the most special interest moment ever I once asked the guide at the NY Transit museum as to why its such an arseache to get between Queens and Brooklyn (it's the lack of straight up and down lines for me) The answer he gave was that they built the subway line where they wanted people to live and that was that!

Oh I can imagine. It’s a great space too, felt very soothing to me.

They renovated the old building and re-opened it as a brand new venue. It's lovely.

So many of the great NYC theatres have been torn down or been left vacant like spoiled meat, so it's nice to know one of them is getting a new life.

The Kings was also an old movie house that got revitalized!

We used to have a theatre called the Kings here in Winnipeg. The building still exists but it's no longer a theatre.
