20060629_madonna_320x240.jpgThe sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden was doing "the wave" well before Madge hit the stage, a sign that her opening night in NYC was going to be memorable.

My partners in Madonna were Graciela, John, and Bruce -- all of us (inadvertantly) wearing jeans with varying styles of navy blue shirts. We looked like we'd been styled (by Herself?) to go to the concert together. It was a mob scene passing through security into the Garden and we found ourselves walking next to recent gay-bash victim and performer Kevin Aviance, looking fierce but with his mouth wired shut.

The buzz-kill moment of the night happened early when we saw our friend Ron approaching us, heading against the crowd. He dejectedly told us that his tickets were for July 2nd and he didn't realize it until Mr. TicketTaker shamed him in front of the Tower D kids. B u z z K i l l !!!!!!

The crowd inside was insane and the Garden was steaming hot. We were told that Madonna's goal was for everyone to feel like they're out dancing in a club, thus the steam heat. We loved it.

She entered from a disco ball descended from above and for two hours had the packed house jumping, screaming, and grinding. She sang a ton from the new album and weaved in disco classics like "I Feel Love." Somehow the backbeat of "Music" became "Disco Inferno" and we thought our heads would blow off.

There were Material Girl staples like a cross and a blown shofar and lots of horses and the hustle and her whipping her dancers and videos about AIDS and a juxtoposition of Bush and Hitler and all the other fun stuff that goes along with a night at Madonna's.
