SPRINGING from "This is a VERY Sexy Place Department"

Last night was a laugh at SAMPLE. Jen and Ken were having a post dinner cocktail and I was invited to join. For those of you who don't know SAMPLE is one of Smith Street’s intimate wine and Cheese bars home to a loyal following of nefarious lounge lizards, students, professors, and Met's fans. I have a particular, shall we say fondness for the proprietor, Maya, whose elfin charm and dreamy smile infuse the libations with an air of sensuality worthy of her creation. Jen and I put on quite a show I think. It was hard to tell. SPRING and something else was in the air. We usually go there during Happy Hour on a Sunday, but last night we heard "Last Call" for the first time in a cat's age. If you want to sample SAMPLE, take the F to Bergen Street. Be in the last car of the train. Take the left staircase as you exit the station.

April Fool

Welcome, Goddess, to your day, your week, your month.

This is the spirit of the night that writes to remind that

You who gives love and joy to the world.

Receive her bounty and take from her pleasure.

In lands fraught with all the ugliness of war, disease and hate,

I have been more blessed with your beauty than I can express or relate

And you, bright star in the sky of Earth's natural splendor,

I do not define, I remind; I just say what you have given,

You define yourself, powerful woman,

Whom I would rather have the love of

Than respect of man.

...hello.

The reason I did not have dinner with Jen and Ken was because I was at the QP (Quiet Party) held again at the upstairs of Madame X on Houston. This floating gathering draws a regular crowd of smart, sexy, urban adventurers willing to try just about anything. You can have a great time just reading the leftover cards. The QP, a brain child of Artists Paul Rebhan and Tony Noe is enjoying its ninth year and has spread to places all over the world. This event repeats periodically. Check out their site for the latest.
