What have you been up to?

I did a few shows! I did this:

and this

And I got a new computer.

Work and school will be keeping me from getting to intensely into anything for a little while, but I can still do one-night shows. My next one is Wednesday, and it's particularly meaningful. It's a combination farewell show and fundraiser for the incredible Heather Henderson.

Heather is super cool, and she's going out to California to do all of the ridiculously cool shit that she does so well. Frankly, I'm honored that she'd want me to do a routine for her. She has a mind-blowingly huge and awesome line-up planned for the show. Philly is going to miss her something fierce.

More info here on facebook. You should be there. Not for me, but for Heather.

In the meantime, I desperately want to do a number to this song:

Experiencing technical difficulties!

My laptop has died, long live my laptop.

Just when I'd gotten back into the swing of updating, this happens. Story of my life. There will be a new machine soon, if all goes according to plan. However, you are more than welcome to donate to the DD-Needs-A-New-Lappy Fund. Maybe I can make it a tax deductible donation...

Stay tuned to the Revival Burlesque page on Facebook for actual information and timely updates.

Maybe I'll see you April 16 and 17 at the Walking Fish Theatre?

Gratuitous Photo Post

I love getting my hands on photos from shows. This was the result of some facebook creeping (I've no shame), and it's totally worth it. There's more where this came from. Thanks, stranger on facebook!

I heart The Absinthe Drinkers

I had the distinct pleasure of performing with The Absinthe Drinkers on Thursday evening. They're usually at L'Etage, which is a venue I've mentioned before (one of my favorites). I did an old number and a new number, and danced with the band.

And for once I remembered my camera. (This photo is from Randi Warhol, though.)

It's interesting to be in a place where I actually have a catalogue of routines that I can pull from. This time last year, I probably had two acts that I would be willing to pull out and use in any old venue. I'm not sure how many I have now, but I could probably put together at least a dozen.

My next show is April 16 and 17: Normal Rockhard's All-American Pin-Up Show (title not mine). We put this show up at Rembrandt's in November, but this time we're doing it in our home theater, the Walking Fish, with a different cast.

There is a lot more in the pipeline. We have three dates at L'Etage, and we're putting up a rotation of shows that we've done before. Personally, I think you should see all of them.

PS: Shout-out to opening act The Clockwork Dolls. Give my regards to the violinist.

Who Killed DD Ramona?

I am not dead!

I'm still around. Having finally dug myself out from under a pile of technical difficulties and snow, I have every intention of keeping this blog up and running. I certainly love talking about myself enough, so I might as do it in a productive manner.

I'm waiting to hear back about a performance in March, and I have a performance coming up in April. Details will most certainly be forthcoming.
