While most of the gay community will be tuning in to the Super Bowl to catch Madonna's halftime show, I was surprised to find myself at a cabaret theater in Times Square last night where several people in my immediate vicinity were actually excited to hear the news -- courtesy of a text from my lover -- that the New York Giants were going to Super Bowl again.
While Alice Ripley -- shapely in (what she calls) a "'Butterfield 8' slip" -- wowed the crowd with everything from Springsteen and Dylan and Cat Stevens to Carole King and Madonna and Alanis Morissette -- and a few show tunes in between -- even her stellar set couldn't quite match the excitement Michael was experiencing back at the ranch: "Giants win! Going to the Super Bowl!!! It was a game for the ages -- overtime defensive struggle ... they grinded it out!"
Here's hoping for a repeat of 2008's game against the Pats. You can count on Alice being just as wonderful this Tuesday at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. For details, click HERE.
