OK - so the party was awesome! I got there at 10, before the show let out, so my mom and I went upstairs and headed into the party room. It was a huge empty warehouse-type room with a giant bar in the middle and small tables surrounding. Very plain but very modern and cool. We got our drinks, it was open bar (FREE DRINKS) very fun! and headed to a table. I noticed there were small tvs placed on tables all over the room, and I saw that each of them was playing a different video of Maura and Mikhail Baryshnikov (the same ones we saw online, only longer and extended versions.) They provided headsets at each of the tvs for anyone to come listen. They were pretty cute and funny. I was able to hear the videos before people came in, and then after that it was a little too loud. But I could still watch. The view of the building was overlooking 10th avenue, I believe, and it was amazing. Very nice buildings, and the whole right side of the room was giant windows. More people started showing up and then the play let out about 10 minutes later, and people started pouring in. It got very crowded very fast. I spotted Kathy and her friend right away and they came over to our table. We chatted, and they told us about the show. I could sum it up in one word: nudity. LOL They told us they had seen Mikhail Baryshnikov and the actress Jessica Lange at the show. We looked around and I saw them immediately. The room was not huge, so if you looked around you could see who you wanted. If Maura had been there, I would have been standing and drinking with her all night. I was super bummed about that, after seeing what the party actually was. Then Mikhail Baryshnikov came next to us, so I chatted him and asked for a photo. In this instance, Liz Lacompte (the head of The Wooster Group) was pushing Mikhail Baryshnikov away from people and not letting him take photos, even though he wanted to. When we posed for the photo together, she was pulling him by the shoulder, so it came out blurry. i was so mad at her for that. She was extremely rude, however, everyone else from TWG is LOVELY. After that, I spotted Ari, and he says "hey, look it's my facebook friend Paige!" I was so happy and honored that he knew my name and who I was. WOW! Christabel, are you jealous yet?? LOL So after that, there was a speech from TWG about Maura's absence, and a small letter that she wrote, which they read out loud. (Don't worry, I video taped the entire thing). Then there was the raffle, where they gave away tickets to plays and a hotel stay. Sadly, no trips to Ireland. BOO. So we chatted, drank, ate, and mingled. The party was fun. We went over to the tvs again to watch some of Maura and Mikhail Baryshnikov goofing off. it was so cute. She laughed a lot and there was a lot of silliness involved. I have already posted photos on facebook, but I will post more on here too. I hope I covered everything! It was so great to see Kathy again!

Thanks Paige. What a horrible woman (Liz Lacompte) for not letting you and Misha take pics in peace.
Don´t you think that open bar makes everything more fun?

Yes, it was so much fun, and open bar just makes everything more enjoyable because you don't have to worry about taking your wallet out time after time when you need a drink.
And I was really mad at Liz LaCompte, she was not friendly at all, which surprised me. Glad you guys enjoyed my story.

Not much more to report from me! Paige does an excellent job! My friend Deb and I had a wonderful time, Deb now can cross off meeting Mikhail Baryshnikov from her "bucket list."! Deb has had a very hard year this past year, she was widowed very suddenly, and I am so happy to have had this opportunity to do this with her. We are still PO'd at Liz LaCompte for being such a "right royal madam". Deb's picture with Mr. Baryshnikov is blurry because she was almost pushing us out of the way. What we are upset about is that she was acting this way to donors to her organization. We gave money to her and I really wonder if she thinks we'd give to her group again if this is the way she treats the people who support it. Other than that, it was a great evening. It was wonderful to see Paige and her mom again, and Paige tell your mom thanks for letting me use her shoulder to take pics while Mikhail was speaking at the mic! Oh, and Kizzy, your boyfriend Ari has a wonderful butt!

Kathy, very sorry to hear that about your friend. Glad that we could make the night fun for her! She was so sweet. I agree about the whole Liz LaCompte thing - she treated the donors very disrespectfully. So great to see you again, and my mom said she had a great time with you girls!

Just be forewarned, there is nudity and an ever growing dildo involved in the production.
