Blonde Redhead at Barneys
By Shanon Kelley

Last week my BFF asked me if I cared to be her plus one for a party at the Barneys COOP. I said, "Sure, why not?" Far be it from me to pass up a party with free food and beverages. Then yesterday morning (the day of the soiree) I just so happened to read on Brooklyn Vegan that Blonde Redhead (Blonde Fucking Redhead!) was playing a party at Barneys. "Exsqueeze me?" I said to myself. I immediately picked up the phone and called my buddy to ask if this was the same party we were attending. IT WAS!
Words don't do justice to describe the pee-in-my-pants excitement (well okay words did a bit of justice there) that I felt in anticipation for this show. I've only seen Blonde Redhead on big stages, so imagine how I felt when I got to see them on a tiny stage! I stood directly in front of Amadeo! It was a Blonde Redhead greatest hits night too, making the show easily one of the top 10 of all time for me.
And Project Runway's Alison Kelly was there! I had a nerd-out moment with my camera phone, as you can see...
