Across the Universe to see the Gay Messiah

Oh Rufus, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Rufus. (clap clap, clap) Hey Rufus.

Seriously, Rufus Wainwright is one of my all-time favorite singers. I spent this hearty day teaching crazy chillin's, but tonight all became right with the world when I traveled to Radio City Music Hall to see my boy Rufus. He made my Valentine's Day special. I think I have a new tradition. Origionally, back in the day in East Lansing I would gather a group of girls (whether we had boys or not) to go celebrate with each other at one restaurant or another in the area around MSU. The past several years have been hit or miss, since that tradition sort of fizzled, at least in the origional tradition, so this year I tried something new and it worked. What a wonderful evening.

There were moments when I simply had to close my eyes and listen to his voice streaming through the place. It's a perfect venue. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, since I am tired, and full of the love of my friends and experiences of the day. Could I ask for more?

A view of the lobby from the top tier. Yay blue swizzle sticks! It's fun to type "swizzle".

My roomate Dan is one goofy guy! Hi Dan!

Our seats were high, and so were our spirits! So were the girls in front of us!

A highlight of the show, when Rufus played Across the Universe with Sean Lennon (he was the opener). Amazing! Rufus is the one on the left wearing a fluffy white robe. Other wardrobe changes included a glow-in-the-dark lime green three piece suit, then leiderhosen, then the robe, then drag. All in a days work Rufus, all in a days work!
