Tick Tick Tock - It's a quarter to 2...

So, it was an interesting Saturday around these parts. Marvin and I were supposed to go to Philadelphia, but unfortunately I ended up working until late Saturday evening making that an impossibility.

After an unexpected 2 hour nap we decided to check out the much rumored Madonna appearance at Roxy. Since we have a complete inability to go out at any kind of normal hour we didn't end up getting to the club until almost 2am.

The place was a complete madhouse - people wall to wall--- And more girls then I've ever seen at the Roxy (especially on a Saturday night!)

They had replaced the "O" in Roxy with the disco ball from the cover of the new Madonna CD--- oh -- and upped the cover charge at the door to $25 (for members) or $40 for non-members. That pretty much sealed that she was going to make an appearance.

We get inside only to find an even longer line. After waiting for about 10 minutes I hear people screaming and the bass line to "Hung Up" blasting in the main room. She was there - AND I WAS ON LINE. This was clearly not going to do.

In the end we managed to make it inside to hear the end of one of her songs entitled "I Love New York" and a track entitled "Sorry". Both of these tracks made me even more excited for the CD then I had been previously.

It was great to see Madonna out and about - she does not look like an almost 50 year old woman! I only wish she would have actually done ...something during her visit to the Roxy. All she did was shake her ass up on the stage and introduce her album -- and sweat her ass off (along with the rest of the crowd). I guess it's better then nothing!

Peter Rauhofer was the DJ that night and played an excellent set-- although he did play multiple mixes of "Hung Up" during the course of the night. I like the song and all, but 4 times is excessive!

The one thing I'm disappointed about is that Madonna also made an appearance down the block from me at the Misshapes
party @ Luke & Leroy. I had really wanted to go and hear Stuart Price's DJ set. For those who don't know he's a fantastic producer/remixer who also produced Madonna's latest album. I even commented to Marvin earlier in the week how if Madonna was going to show up at any party it would be the Misshapes party!

She apparently spun (with Stuart's help) for half an hour to a small crowd (who only paid $5 to get in I might add!) - but again - some Madonna is better then no Madonna!


In related news - I am going to try and not mention Madonna for at least another week on this blog. As much as I love her she's getting too much air time here!
