For me, brisket is best when eaten the day after it's cooked, and so are leftover pieces of info from the week that I haven't shared on the blog yet......

COSBY: Monday night I went to a benefit for Autism Speaks, founded by Bob and Suzanne Wright. The headliners were Bill Cosby and Toni Braxton. Before the entertainment there was a moving short film about autism; one statistic has stayed in my mind all week: 1 in 150 kids is autistic or develops autism. What frightening, shocking odds.

Braxton has an autistic son and she spoke emotionally about him. In terms of her set, the "Unbreak My Heart" Lady went for it --performing her entire Las Vegas act featuring 15 backup dancers and lots of hoochyness. It was fascinating to watch in the confines of Lincoln Center amidst a very tony crowd. It wasn't he Frontier Hotel, and I give it up to her for going for it.

Cosby was spectacular. Gut-busting. His set wove in the classic Cosby touchpoints of fatherhood and husbandhood, all framed by his pov as a 69 year old man. How amazing that there's a recorded catalogue of Cosby's comedic documention of every stage of life. He's talked about everything. Perhaps the University of Arizona.....or Colorado.....should make a course of it.

BLACKBIRD Tuesday night I went to the opening of "Blackbird", a one-act play directed by my pal Joe Mantello. You will recall that Mantello is the eternally white-hot Broadway SuperDirector (amongst theaterpeeps that's considered a word, folks) behind everything from "Love, Valour Compassion" to "Wicked" to Julia Robert's stage debut to a ton of other plays you've kvelled over.

I have to admit, as much as I didn't want to, I really liked Shear Genius. I was really bummed when Paul-Jean got the boot... I'm hoping someone has to leave the show for some reason and he'll be back to fill in the gap. Was it just me or did his accent kind of come and go?

Also, at the top of the show when Ms. Smith was telling the sytlists about their first challenge, there was a music track playing that included the sound of hair clippers I think. The first time I heard it I paused the show to go and look for my cellphone because the buzz of the clippers sounded so much like my phone on vibrate!
