A couple of thoughts:
Wow! John Giorno is still alive?!
Where is the ubiquitous Bob Holman?
Bob's too busy counting the cash he makes from renting the BPC to Duane Park. So much for poetry on New Years Eve at BPC - here is what's on tap:
Duane Park salutes the onset of 2015 with it's tribute to Inspiration, a celebration of the first nude film to rock the boat. Join us on New Years Eve with the most scantily clad crew in town as we shake and shimmy off the burdens of 2014 and enter in the new year of 2015. Our Master of Ceremonies Michael Cunio (Broadway: Jersey Boys, PBS: Under the Street Lamp) will sound the alarm on his voice rocking the sounds of Adele, Pink Floyd, Maxwell and Rihanna with his band of boys behind him, the Cunos.
Executive Chef Richard Overholt is planning a New Year's Menu to match the sensations your eyes and ears will surrender to with a delicious three course meal to delight your sense of taste and smell. With the finest selections of land and sea, the menu will taste just as gorgeous as what you see.
