Our friend Colleen found out she was a finalist in this year's Nightlife Awards - critics picks of the year from NYC's cabaret, comedy, and jazz clubs - so Tom and I went along to see the ceremony at The Town Hall. It wasn't a typical award show, since people knew whether or not they won before it started and there weren't any thank you speeches, but there were a lot of great performances. Some of my favorites were Christine Ebersole, Nellie McKay & Hannibal Buress - and it was hosted by Bruce Vilanch who kept the audience laughing pretty well.
After the show, many of the winners, nominees and "insiders" shuffled down the block to a place called Tony's DiNapoli for drinks and schmoozing at the back of the restaurant. Tom and I stayed out of the real scene and had our drinks at the bar (as pictured here) with a few other folk who were also fans rather than industry people.
