Dan Savage Does a Fancy Dance Move at Chop Suey

posted by on January 28 at 15:57 PM

Here is a picture of Savage right after he did a jeté at the Girl Talk show last night. He didn’t actually stay to see Girl Talk—which is too bad, he woulda loved it since Girl Talk’s samples are familiar to everyone alive (Hall and Oates? Fleetwood Mac?)—but he was there for the opening bands. Even though the show was sold “the hell” out, there was a weird moment after the opening bands and before Girl Talk when a bunch of people left (fans of the opening bands, prolly) leaving enough room in the crowd that you could do a jeté. I said this, and then Savage—never one to miss a musical theater cue—did one. Leaped, kicked a leg out behind him, threw his arms overhead. Beautiful.

When I asked him to do another one so I could take a picture with my phone, he flipped me off.

Yeah, it was dark. Two hours later Girl Talk dove from a table into the crowd and then his body went vertical and he was bouncing around in the human sea like an upside down tree. The photos my phone took are useless, so check out Grandy’s pictures. This one’s awesome:

I wish I could have stayed for Girl Talk -- but I had to get home and relieve the babysitter at midnight. I heard all about the show from Terry, who got to stay. So the Savage family was represented at the show, even if I had to take off.

Plus, I was pretty shit-faced. I'd been at the Vera auction earlier in the evening at Seattle Center. There were open bars, of course, to get folks in the bidding mood. I spent 1000 freakin' bucks on a party at the War Room for me and 350 closest friends. You're not invited, Frizzelle.
