Friday's Main Event: Ilene Kristen at The Abbey
This post is from last May's Fund-Raiser at Prohibition for New York AIDS Walk and last night Ilene Kristen proved at The Abbey that some things simply never change. She wowed the crowd with just a couple of songs and her winning ways. She was joined by Brian Krause, Jacklyn Zeman, Danny Arroyo, Ron Hale and Thom Bierdz. She knows how to make it all worthwhile.
Friendship is probably the best human relationship available and when it happens, it is a true blessing. And friendship does that, i.e. it just happens, usually because there are individuals who know how to do it well. Loyalty pays a big part in it. Couple that quality with the heart of a journeyman actor and singer who finds true expression in work and you have Ilene Kristen.
Ilene was the first in both fundraising events that POZ team promoted at Prohibition to offer her time and talent. This year more was asked of her when the band was stranded due to inclement weather and she herself was under the weather. She carried on and was the driving force behind the event.
She's been around the block more than once, but she brings the enthusiasm of a neophyte to her work. It's been said before in this Web Log, but it bears repeating: To Know Her is To Love Her
