Friday, March 01, 2002 AND THE SEA WILL TELLQ. how was the cruise ? A. it was like being stuck at a gay pride parade for 5 days. Q. would you do it again ? A. the RSVP people, who organized the trip, were terrific and made me feel right at home. the problem is, i’m not a very social person (offstage). so, to answer your question...no. Q. does that mean that you stayed in your cabin the whole time ? A. yes. i watched movies and read david sedaris’ book called NAKED. my cabin had a living room and a balcony that opened out onto the sea. Q. how did the shows go ? A. i did two shows on saturday night. the first show was a disaster. one of the worst shows of my 20 year career. it started with too much smoke machine, no spotlight and the fact that i couldn’t see the audience. i have to be able to see the audience or else it feels like i’m reacting to a special effect that will be added later to the film by a computer. when i finally did see the audience i realized it was the older crowd from shady pines, who just stared at me as if i were an east village performance artist. as i sang “work the runway, sweetie” their eyes said “walk the plank, bitch”. i just wanted it all to be over. i didn’t even do my monologue. the second show was the complete opposite. it was a blast! i had a great time and so did the audience, who were considerably more clubbie and young. during “supermodel”, i had a guy walk the runway completely nude...except for the cock ring he was wearing. Q. did you get sea sick ? A. no, but i could still feel the boat rocking 3 days after we docked. Q. what was the best and the worst part of the experience ? A. the worst part was listening to people talk bad about me outside my cabin door. i felt like a sitting duck with nowhere to hide. if i had seen a shore, i would have made a swim for it. the best part was the decadent glamour of being on an oceanliner, somewhere in the pacific, watching JUDGE JUDY on t.v. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
