“Miss Cynthia Nixon Is on a Camel”

The most coincidental occurrence happened to me today. Last night, I watched a few of Billy Eichner’s hilarious videos on YouTube (my favorites below) and I decided I would blog about him next. Oddly enough, today I was in a Starbucks on Broadway, and whom do I see sitting at a table doing some work? Billy Eichner himself.

Of course, with the help and the instigation by Miss Valentina Monte, I went up to him. Ok, Val actually did the talking but I eventually jumped in. She also forced me to take a picture with him. I know you know I hate to have my picture taken (I can feel the rolling of the eyes).

These were a weird chain of events.

Anyway, when Billy Eichner takes to the streets, you never know what will happen. He could be scaring people half to death by asking a question in their face, screaming and running down the street or confusing anyone he comes into contact with. The product results in hilarity.

I admire his comedy. It takes a lot of guts to stomp the New York pavement normally. Add a microphone and camera and the intensity skyrockets. You go boy—keep making those videos.
