Our friend Idgy Dean has a new collaboration with (Run) DMC and they are having a launch party tonight at House of Yes in Brooklyn!!

Amy and I went for Ethiopian fare at Bunna Cafe before the show.




First stop, our first experience into Ethiopian food:  Bunna Cafe.  This is an all vegan Ethiopian Restaurant.

The food was all very tasty, warm, and comforting. Will certainly have again.  The seasonal dish was an orange squash dish.  Dessert was Baklava with a coffee caramel sauce.

Then off to the show:

The first part of the musical evening was held in the outer bar.  


There was an announced '80's dress theme.  The pre-show performances by musical associates of Idgy:



First a Harpist, Hattie Chamberlin. (Photo: House of Yes) 


Followed by Tiffany Topal - in a perfect Kate Bush costume. (photo: @brynnelevy.photo)





Once we moved into Stage Area, the show was opened by friend Fritz Cook(photo by: @brynne.levy)





Followed by the Headliners... and I am going to start a second post :)

New Year's Eve Eve : Saw the movie Vice and then went to dinner

Plaza Cafe, South Hampton

Plaza Cafe, 61 Hill Street, Southampton, NY

After checking online all the dinner specials in South Hampton, Amy and I chose the Plaza Cafe. Unfortunately, I clicked through the window to make reservations at the wrong restaurant.




The restaurant at actually made reservations at with a fancy French place. We weren't dressed and weren't in the mood for fancy French so we left and headed back to our first choice.
