Bowieball In Nyc On Friday…tv's There, Db's Not

The Pretty Things Are Going To BowieBall…

If you’re in New York City on Friday you’d have to be a bit mad not to attend the latest BOWIEBALL at Don Hills in Greenwich St, which has been organised to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust‘s release. (06.06.2007 NEWS: ZIGGY STARDUST IS THIRTY FIVE TODAY)

You can glean all the information you need about the evening’s entertainment by reading the flyer below, or by visiting WWW.BOWIEBALLNYC.COM

You may have already had an e-mail regarding BOWIEBALL, in which the organisers hint: “we’ve gotten word that the man himself will show!”

I asked DB if this was likely, but sadly, he told me that though he would have loved to have gone, he has to be somewhere else on the night.

Also, some of the early publicity mentions the presence of one Earl Slick, but regrettably he’s not going to be able to make it either.

However, Tony Visconti will be there as guest bass player for Semi Precious Weapons, and it looks like the whole thing will be too much fun.

Check out some great photos from the last BOWIEBALL over at WWW.BOWIEBALLNYC.COM for a taste of the sort of spectacular crowd that the event attracts. Takes me right back to the Bowie Nights at Billy’s and Blitz in London…*sigh*. To recap…
