Santa Is Everywhere, And I Do Mean, Everywhere

Santa's Greenwich Village

Yesterday was SantaCon in NYC, an invasion of naughty elves, St. Nicks, reindeer, Santa's helpers and such, crawling from pub to pub in a drunken stupor. It was delightful. Sadly, no one invited me to participate. I'm a little hurt. Still, it was fun to dart between the cheery hipsters and catch snippets of slurred conversation: "Dude." "Dude?" "Dude, that elf's checking you out!" "Seriously, dude?" "Nah."

The NY cast of "Brushes": Lauren Riddle, Heather Massie, 

Sandra Karas, CK Allen, Gerianne Raphael, 

Connie Shulman, Jody Prusan and Brenne Rimberg

Earlier in the day, Cathy Hamilton and the SJG attended the rehearsal for tonight's 6 o'clock reading of "Brushes" at WorkShop Theater (312 W. 36th). We are so excited, so worked up, so full of adrenalin, we could scream for a solid minute, if not two. But we need to keep it together. We really do.
