It's taken Hearsay nearly 36 hours to recover, but finally all that deliciously evil vodka imbibed at Town Danceboutique Thursday night, August 6, has worked itself out of Hearsay's system. And did Hearsay mention that plate full of deliciously fattening cookies that the Cookie Monster was passing out? Hearsay has been purging those ever since.
Yes, you read right: the Cookie Monster was at Town on Thursday. WTF? Exactly! It was the second iteration of the club's new first-Thursdays monthly party WTF, "the party where anything can happen, anything." Cookies were served, and the Monster danced and of course tickled Tickle Me Elmo, who was the celebrity du nuit. (Alas, Bert and Ernie never showed. Maybe they were too busy making whoopee.) DJ Mikey "Mr. Clean" Adolphson took turns spinning slighty off-kilter dance-pop tunes with Town's own Ed "I Talk to My iPhone" Bailey. Hearsay sure did enjoy mingling with all the Town-folk — even though it can't remember their names now. Was it Dylan, or Rob? Michael, or Maynard? Can Hearsay just call you humpy?
Anyway, if you weren't there, you missed a great time. And next month's should be even crazier, and it’s set to take place on Thursday, Sept. 17, the very same day that Metro Weekly’s 16th Annual Fall Arts Preview hits the streets (Hearsay is still not above a shameless plug for the publication that feeds it). Be sure to take Friday off, however, so you don't have to do like Hearsay and barely make it through work. But thanks to a little friend named Valium, Hearsay's already ready to do it all again….
