It was so long ago that I don’t remember the specifics. Maybe I shouldn’t have called it an overnight. It’s quite possible the tribute was only for a one or two hour session time. Actually it most likely was because there’s no way I could’ve afforded the cost of a true overnight. Cole De Sade was a cool lady. She really wanted to expose me to the NYC party scene so I agreed to go so all the time of picking me up at the airport etc was probably on her. I don’t remember if she was one of the regular hosts of the party or not. The whole thing was pretty wild. I’m glad I had the experience although it wasn’t comfortable basically because socially I’m an introvert and am not going to approach people and talk to them unless they approach me. I’m not into loud crowded spaces with loud music.
I don’t know why I never went back and saw her again. I wasn’t upset with her. She retired but the main thing is doing a trip like that was a major undertaking for me. It wasn’t a business trip. I had to buy the airline ticket and sneak away for a day without anyone knowing which was not easy and anxiety producing. How could I explain if I missed my flight or I got stuck for any other reason? Im still surprised I was able to pull that off twice. I’d ike to do something like that again but nowdays it’d be even harder with everything on a credit card statement and being in instant reach by texts etc.
