At Large This American Life at Lincoln Center
posted by February 26 at 14:01 PM
onI’m in New York to perform at, uh, Avery Fucking Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. In jeans and a T-shirt—sorry, Terry. Tonight’s the first date of a six-city This American Life tour. TAL is coming to Seattle, but the show at the Paramount is sold out.
That’s Sarah Vowell doing her sound check. The backstage areas at Avery Fisher Hall are hilarious—the doors, the doorknobs, the furniture. It’s all sixties, all Jackie O. It’s all white marble and gold accents. It’s all restrained ritzy/glam opulence. And, sadly, it’s all going to go. They’re doing renovations and the old dressing rooms and backstage areas are going to be “brought up to date,” which is too bad. I took some pictures of the dressing rooms but for some reason they didn’t come out, or my phone didn’t save them. Or something. But this pic came out fine.
It’s the toilet in the biggest dressing room. I’m proud to say that Beverly Sills shat here. And now so have I.

Dude, everyone who was anyone in music since 1962 shat there. Most of them did coke right off that sink. Some of them even puked all over that nice tile floor. Leonard Bernstein probably received fellatio on that toilet - at least 50 times.
That's one hell of a bathroom.
Will you be part of the TAL at the Paramount?
I think it's more plausible that Leonard performed rather than received at said water closet.
I can't wait to see the show Wednesday in Minneapolis. Dan, Sarah, and Ira. I am peeing my pants in excitement.
Carson--I think David Rakoff is replacing Sarah Vowell in Minneapolis, though I'm not sure.
Dan, I still can't belive you said "pussy" in AFH. You were terrific, and sorry I didn't get to tell you so face to face.
CAN YOU PLEASE NEVER EVER USE THE WORD SHAT AGAIN. It is not a word and it is repulsive.
ok maybe shat is a word, but I hate it. Shit should be used for the past tense of to shit.
I hate the word shat more than any other word.
