On Monday night I went to see A John Waters’ Christmas: Holier and Dirtier at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. It’s my fifth Christmas in a row going to see John’s remarkable and hilarious spoken word performance. It’s a tradition for me now and Christmas wouldn’t be the same without seeing John during the holiday season. John Waters is one of the most creative and talented people I know. I met him at photographer extraordinaire Greg Gorman’s first exhibition at Govinda Gallery. Along with being a renowned filmmaker and author, John is a comedic genius.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
