Why I Love New York, Reason #4,561

Christmas was great, I hung out with friends, blah blah. Enough of that. The really cool thing is that I've been invited to celebrate a friend's birthday later in the week at a performance of Duckie! What's Duckie? It's a kind of bizarre, custom-made ("bespoke" for you Brits) variety show/vaudeville/burlesque performance. Or so it seems. All I know about it is what I learned from this video right here, and I can already tell I'm going to love it, even if it winds up costing an absurd amount of money. (Note: The video is probably not safe for work.)

Technically, since Duckie is a British troupe, this should be listed as "Why I Love England." But they're coming here. They probably won't be swinging through Tallahassee or Kansas City or any other place I've ever lived. So once again, moving here turns out to have been a smart idea.
