Another successful Meet The Lady (this one about First Ladies), took place at 92YTribeca last Friday, hosted by our pal Tom Blunt. Above, he is on the phone with Patty McCormack, who has portrayed Pat Nixon in “Frost/Nixon.”
Also present were John Epperson (who is sometimes the drag legend Lypsinka), nightlife impresario Will Clark, comedian Shawn Hollenbach, Nick Chase, writer and director of The Shells Show, Peter J. Cook, co-founder of NYC’s Terrible Baby Theater Company, and opera singer Cory Clines.

Next up in the series is Meet The Lady: Working Girls on June 24.

Mel & El host a hilarious monthly show and are bringing it to 92YTribeca for the first time next week on June 2, along with extra special guest comedian Sue Funke.
They are also the latest subjects in the 92Y Culture Klatsch Q&A. And just like the title of their blog, Mel & El have things to tell.
Where do you go for news when you start your day?
Mel: To be honest, the first place we go for news is each other.
El: Good point. Usually by 8am there is some email thread or text situation happening where we are alerting each other to “MEM”.
Mel: You have to explain that.
El: Oh. That means “My Every Move”. It doesn’t have to do with ACTUAL news, but to us, it’s essential information.
Mel: Some people think we have psychological issues but we embrace our Codefriendency.

If you thought it seemed like just last February that 92YTribeca hosted a six-word memoir slam, you’d be right!
Another one is scheduled for May 18, a Six-Word Memoir Story Slam about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons. The New York Times Well Blog has caught wind and is running a contest around the event, with a spin. They want your “momoirs,” and ask: “Can you sum up your mother in just six words?” Read the hundreds submitted thus far, and check the comments for many more.
Do you have your own six-word memoirs about your parent(s) or sibling(s)? Share them in the comments below!
SMITH magazine’s “I Am Turning Into My Mother” Six-Word Story Slam happens May 18 at 92YTribeca; tickets are available here.

Drew Dernavich, cartoonist at The New Yorker and FISTICUFFS! co-creator, (where cartoonists battle the only way they know how—by drawing cartoons!) is the first subject of the new 92Y Culture Diet Q&A. Questions focus on discovering more about the subjects’ media and culture diet, for example, “What are your favorite websites?” and “What magazines do you subscribe to?”
The next FISTICUFFS! happens April 27 at 92YTribeca.
Without further adieu...take it away Drew Dernavich!
