Only 40 freakin' people went to her show in NYC? That's not right. I think a big reason for the weak turnout was lack of promotion. I didn't even hear about the show until reading the NY Times review. Glad to hear she still put on a good show, but I feel bad considering how talented she is.

The evening wasn’t a total bust: onstage, Ms. Grae estimated the attendance at about 40 people. She tried to proceed as usual, at first. “Is Brooklyn in the house?” she shouted after joining her D.J., Mr. Len.

The paltry cheer that arose seemed to shake her confidence. “Five hundred or 5 or 5,000,” she muttered, “it’s all the same.” That statement, neither true nor especially convincing, set the tone for the first leg of the show.
