The Kabuki Play 3

Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theater that portrays the lives of people who lived during the Edo period (1600-1868). While it's subject matter is primarily historical, Kabuki's extraordinary spectacles of color and sound through acting, dancing and music still symbolize contemporary life.

About Me

Name:

HISTORY OF "THE KABUKI PLAY"

  • The original "Kabuki Play" writings exposed a brash inner monologue as I struggled through the trials and tribulations as a college student. Broken friendships, irritating dorm-mates and akward trips home between semesters kicked off the first "Kabuki Play" series. However, college didn't last forever and "the real world" was right around the corner with drama ten fold.
  • "The Kabuki Play 2," a darker and more disturbing account, told the unsettling story about my first job after graduating from college, it being one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of "The Kabuki Play." After being caught in the middle of 10 consecutive firings in less than two years and being stuck with four pisspoor bosses, I decided that I'd had enough. So, I quit my job and cut off all the negativity in my life, and moved two hours away from home to start my life over.
  • With a new job, my own apartment and a new beginning, "The Kabuki Play 3" picks up where the second series left off and revisits my inner monologue as I try to leave the past behind me and spread my wings.

Play Underwear Launch

While I was updating his website, I called Joe (www.joebermudez.com) to ask him some questions about it. He reminded me that he would be in NYC spinning at this place called Quo on W28th street. The nice guy that he is, he offered to get me and a couple of friends in for free, so I made a round of calls and got Will Suarez and Chris "Cornally" Connelly to go.

I called up the club to get more information. I find out that there is an invite-only LINGERIE FASHION launch party. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

So, Will and I hop the train and meet Joe in Grand Central. We hung out and ate something before heading over to the club. Apparently Z100 and KTU have been playing Joe’s remix of “Behind These Hazel Eyes” by Kelly Clarkson, but we couldn’t catch it on the radio during the cab ride.

Joe, Will, and I were a bit late, but when we arrive, Chris was already there. The rockstars that we are, the bouncers let us cut the long line of people waiting to get in. THAT was cool…

The place is REALLY nice. Very cool and sleek. It turns out that there was an open bar from 6-9pm! BONUS?! Not only that, but there were male and female models dancing on stage and walking around serving hors d'oeuvres all over the place. All of them were wearing this new line of underwear called “Play.” So there’s an open bar (not that I drink), hot models everywhere, great music, and hors d'oeuvres… could it possibly get better?

Let me tell you… the sights were unbelievable. The funny thing is, the crowd progressively got more and more gay throughout the night. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT ;)

Although I hadn’t seen Joe spin live before, the club hired 2 DJs for some ODD reason. 2 DJs in one club doesn't seem to work... what sucked was the other DJ hogged the booth for a good chunk of the night and wouldn't get off.

He finally got a chance to spin at the peak of the night when Sheila Brody from Amuka performed “Appreciate Me.” CLICK HERE TO HEAR A SAMPLE. It was off the hook.

I also spotted Sarah from the MTV’s “The Real World: Philly.” Hey, it's STILL a celebrity sighting!

It was a good night. We all had a lot of fun I think... but the highlight award goes to: paying Chris $20 to hit on one of the gay models who was wearing REALLy tight white underwear by the way. He would have gotten his ass taken home if he kept it up, but he punked out and returned the cash! Go FIGURE! ;)
