Why not get tickets to Josh Sharp ta-da! directed by Oh, Mary!’s Tony-winning Sam Pinkleton before it all sells out?
In case you missed it, Brian dropped Menu 11 and it’s incredible. Buy a copy and cook up a party.
How have you been, btw? We’ve been having an unusually great summer. Quick recap:
Last week, saw a bunch of comedians perform a dramatic reading of an episode of Gallery Girls at the Bell House and then we got kicked out with part of the real cast of Gallery Girls. The performance was presented by THNK1994’s Matt and Viviana who are some of the funniest, smartest people we know. The getting-kicked-out was presented by a last call vodka soda.
We were in a focus group to see a film that our very important art dealer friend worked on, and let’s just say it’s gold. We’re under NDA but: it’s about art, it comes out in 2026 and we’ll be talking about it absolutely nonstop next year. Or let’s be real, after a single big cocktail anytime between now and then.
We saw Hot Milk which we absolutely loved and the theater we were in truly hated. Recommend going to everything at IFC after a trip to Buvette (enjoy a toast topped with cheese and peas with a glass of bank account-wrecking Chablis that is worth almost every penny). This, like most of our personality and our love of Hot Milk’s author Deborah Levy, is stolen from our friend Emily who is one of the greatest people anybody could possibly know. Hi, Emily!
We sweat through Twinks vs. Dolls and learned this key lesson: always pack more sunscreen, water, and cigarettes than you think you’ll need for a summer afternoon with your crew.
We’ll keep the rest to ourselves because we’re truly maturing backwards.
Anywho, Days & Nights resumes regular weekly programming soon. See you then!
