*Jesus, in full easter-bunny-inspired drag, greeting people at the Garden’s door with a vintage pea-green pyrex bowl full of jelly beans…and hand sani*
*Mags and Luc looking at each other and smiling as they begin a new song…surprising the millennial crowd with a slowed down, sexy, syrupy version of Ashlee Simpson’s “LaLa”*
*Judas, delighted with his $6 “thrifter-basket,” made especially for him by Jesus, finding multiple purple treasures such as a plum silk scarf; a lilac t-shirt with the words “I FEEL GAY TODAY” inscribed on it; and a purple feather boa*
*Eve and Lilith, caught by Jesus making out in the smaller dressing room…Eve: topless*
*Joanie, screaming from her drum set after finishing up “Blood One” by Bikini Kill, “ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE”...the party crowd screaming in solidarity rage with her*
*11:30pm, Jesus and Mags stepping out of the Garden, arms around each other, giggling, leaving behind a shop full of spilled seltzer, purple feathers, the echo of bass lines, and holy spirit*
