Yeah.

So there was a large life size portrait of Madonna in her comb bra and garter belt at my bar mitzvah.

Right.

That was on one side of the DJ booth.

And on the other side of the DJ booth was an equally large spray painted portrait of the Phantom of the Opera.

This was an extremely gay affair, especially for Queens in 1991.

Queens, New York.

We're not in Manhattan here.

My parents let me do it.

And all the kids' tables were named after pop stars.

Mine was Madonna, of course.

All the parents' tables were named after Broadway shows.

We had dancers.

We really leaned in.

And I had this vision that, you know, people were going to be dancing and I wanted people dancing during certain parts of the party and people sitting during other parts of the party during the show tunes so that it would be more adult and sophisticated and it would take you on like an emotional journey.

Please, you know, again, I thought I was like putting together like a pop concert here, right?

Or like a Broadway show.

So I'm looking around and it's kind of towards the beginning, maybe getting to the middle of my bar mitzvah.

And I am freaking out because it doesn't look exactly the way I thought it would look in my mind.

And people aren't dancing enough.
