Do you know Edie Sedgwick?

The transgendered reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick
"You know Edie Sedgwick?," my friend asks.

"Yeah, sure," I say, thinking of the 1960s waif/Andy Warhol sidekick.

"Not Andy Warhol's sidekick," she says.

Oh.

Instead, she was referring to Edie Sedgwick, "the transgendered reincarnation of a vacuous Warhol Superstar," who "travels the nightclubs of this land called America singing songs that honor the likes of Angelina Jolie, Robert Downey, Jr., and, of course, Martin Sheen."

(Of course.)

This Edie Sedgwick - an alterego of local musician Justin Moyer - will be at the Warehouse Nextdoor on Friday at 9:30. According to my friend, her shows are supposed to be a loud, extravagant blast, and this time she'll be backed by a band.

I have a prior engagment that evening, but if you end up going, let me know what you think! (Photos from the show are welcome, too...)
