I took a day off work last week. It was WONDERFUL!
Not only did I get to do lunch with friends Kevin and Doug (in town from LA), but I was able to see the annual Gypsy of the Year awards. GOTY is an event where the Broadway community comes together to put on a variety show of sorts to celebrate the fundraiser for Broadway Cares: Equity Fight AIDS.
Each Bway show performs a number- some are funny spoofy sketches, some are beautiful poignant performances. Either way, it's a great way to spend an afternoon (certainly better than the office). Some of the highlights included Tyne Daly hosting, and wearing the Equus horse hoof shoes, Daniel Radcliff doing a tap number, and the exquisite Lion King cast dance number.
It was great to see Kevin and Doug. I have been able to see Kevin a few times over the past three years, but I have not seen Doug since our Mediterranean Cruise adventures in 2006 when we vacationed in Croatia, Turkey, Greece, and Italy together.
