JAY-Z:
Kalup Linzy
enjoyed Jay-Z's performance today at Pace. I ws a bit nervous early on. Finally, I gave him a high-five, went out, shook his hand, after I sat down with my friend Xaviera Simmons, the electricity went out. I was reminded of Beyonce's superbowl moment.... We sat there for five minutes. Didn't get another moment....they wanted to give other people a chance, his manager said. "You've been profiled enough." she continued. I enjoyed it, but left wanting another moment.....It was a great moment! A fun day!

Paul Taylor Dance Company: Diamond Anniversary

A strange evening of somehow very American-feeling dance. Incredibly hunky, muscled-out dancers performing routines of extraordinary athleticism without even a whiff of sex in evidence. I think that must be very hard to do... it was like watching action figures come to life. Amazing.
