Madonna & Nile Rodgers Take A Fan-Frenzied Spin At DiscOasis
Madonna has truly arrived! (GIF via GIPHY) Wednesday night, after a winning appearance with Fallon (though I wish Jimmy had confirmed she was lisping and facilitated the end of her grills), Madonna appeared at old pal Nile Rodgers's weekly DiscOasis event at Wollman Rink (formerly a Trump concession) in Central Park.
The private event was open to fans who'd won social media contests. I did not, but my friend Anthony did, so I got to be a late-breaking plus-one.
We met up at 6:15, followed the music and wound up near the very front of the line to get in. There was a regular line and a VIP line (manned by Madonna's day-to-day manager Sara, who did not forget her disco-era tube socks or friendly demeanor), and we began filing in around 7:45.
Inside, skate rental was free (merch was not), and it quickly became apparent that the VIP area was the only place near the DJ booth (Questlove, naturally), which was obviously where Madonna would be.
