Dolly, Chicago, "Me and Little Andy"

A little bird named Amy Matheny told me about this about the About Face Theatre Holiday Party last Thursday, but now it's official...


Thanks to Jeanne for sending me all the info. You better damn well believe I'm going to be there!

Last time she was in Chicago, Philip and I went to the concert in matching baseball shirts. Mine had a "9" on the back and his had a "5" on the back. And on the front of both of our shirts, we were the words...

"I Slapped Ouiser Boudreaux!"

It was heaven!

Here's the info on Dolly's upcoming concert...

Dolly Parton at the Chicago Theatre
Friday, February 29 at 8:00pm. Tickets On Sale Monday, December 17 at Noon Reserved tickets are priced at $85 and $60 (plus a limited number of gold circle seats) and will be available at the Chicago Theatre box office and all Ticketmaster outlets.
To charge-by-phone call 312-559-1212.

And as a little incentive to all you Chicago folks who may not want to run out and grab a ticket to Dolly, here's the perfect Dolly Parton song to play on a "cold and stormy night."

This is the sublime, slightly ridiculous and as Dolly herself describes it in the clip, "absolutely pitiful," Me and Little Andy...



P.S. Wow. Dolly Parton tickets. What an excellent Christmas gift!

Have you seen the documentary "For the Love of Dolly?" Its kinda funny in the sense that Dolly has a great sense of humor and an amazing ability for quick comebacks. Its also a little scary to see the truly deranged and obsessed fans who follow/stalk her. All in all, good times!

Rad Homo - What a wonderful memory of your grandmother! So sweet. And yes, our "9 to 5" shirts made many a queen shout, "'Atta girl!" :)
