This
was after-hours and we were all nightbirds. Manny's
loft was in the meat-packing district. It was the
first time I had been to that part of town and kept expecting to smell BEEF,
but there was not a cow carcass in site. I
can't remember why I showed up without a storyboard, that was not typical
for me at that time. Joey,
Manny & Adrian had
staged spectacles together before and they improvised much of what we did that
night. I came up with some simple choreography too. In retrospect, these look
suspiciously like antics from the Beatle movie HELPthat
climbed up out of my subconsious.
