Hey Dolls!
Just when you think everything totally sucks, something fabulous happens. Seriously, I was so snarly tonight that I didn't even want to go to the club to do my show. Tuesday night's show was a big one and I've been positively exhausted ever since. Silverado Mobile Home Park booked the room for their company Christmas party that night so we performed a special show, Trailer Park Christmas. It was a great success, but left me feeling like an absolute corpse. And though that was two days ago, all I could think of as we drove to the club tonight was -- I can't wait until it's over so I can have the weekend off. Then things changed.
The first thing that happened was Frank, a show promoter, came walking in with a handful of copies of Today In Las Vegas Magazine and said to me, "Page forty-nine." When I looked on page 49, there was an awesome review of our show -- not to mention a photo that made me look like a drag queen. Still, the whole thing had me feeling perky in no time.
It said, in part:
"... On Tuesday through Thursday, it's "The Billy Dare Show," a
tongue-in cheek, original musical revue featuring the no-holds-barred wit and
versatile vocal stylings of Ms. Dare and her back-up duo, The
Pumps (Todd Johnston on guitar and Michael Branch on
bass). Colorful and wacky, they've already captivated the east coast, and
have found their way to the Take 1 Nightclub in Las Vegas to continue their
escapades in the west. Theirs is an uninhibited act, and we especially
enjoyed the hillbilly portion of their show, not to mention "Patsy
Clinestein..."
The next divine event was when Joel, a dear friend of mine from Nashua, NH walked through the doors. I haven't seen him in two years, so I was like, "Oh this is sooooo fabulous!" And just to add to my giddiness, he'll be staying in Las Vegas until Tuesday so we'll get to spend Christmas together!
So dolls, even sucky situations can turn around in a heartbeat!
Have a marvelous holiday!
