OMG! Two of New York’s most favorite queers had a brush with distaster in Dublin.
Singer Cazwell and – um – performer Amanda Lepore were meant to perform in the Irish city last weekend, but their plans blew up after someone called in a bomb. From Cazwell via his tenacious publicist. Preemptive [sic]:
Amanda and I got our show cancelled and you wanna know why… A BOMB SCARE! i shit you not. Our show in Dublin got a bomb scare. We were minutes away from going on at Club George in downtown Dublin when the police came in and told the host to get on the mic and evacuate the building. Amanda and I along with hundreds of Dublin Club kids had to wait outside for an hour before the performance was called off. All i know from police is they got repeat fone calls all day saying our show was gonna get bombed. The good news is Amanda and I are safe and are back in Good ‘Ol New York City. Via first class no less.
Well, thank God for the little things, right?

The Irish have better taste than New Yorkers.

I hear about this from a friend who was at Dublin Pride. Apparently, everyone got free drinks when the bomb scare was declared a hoax 🙂

Meant to say “heard”, instead of “hear”. Dammit, we ought to have edit tools around here! :p

Amanda is pulling a Tina Turner. Isn’t she like 60 now?

There was a large queue outside the George at 6:00pm that evening (Dublin pride weekend) so myself and the boys went to the Dragon up the road. Heard the George was evacuated for a couple of hours but apparently there was a good atmosphere – singsongs etc

“Pre-emptive (sic)?” His spelling’s better than yours.
