-- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: A typical night at the cabaret this is not. The last time we saw Connie Champagne perform (during her stint at the Plush Room), tweakers were passing out in the audience, drunks wept into their vodka rocks, and Connie busted out a dead-on tribute as Judy Garland. Performing Garland's classics (like "San Francisco") as well as songs she might have crooned ("Bohemian Rhapsody" and "A Case of You"), Champagne shows us just why Garland should be remembered as the punk icon she is, not just a tragic figure of, ugh, camp. Curtain goes up at 8 p.m. (tonight and tomorrow night) at New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness; $28.

Piedmont is known for being full of seriously nice houses -- we always joked that the city's raison d'etre is so that rich folks wouldn't have an address in Oakland (okay, we bear a grudge -- we were denied a pass to the Piedmont tennis court because we lived three doors down from the city line). But David Letterman has made the kids at Piedmont High known across the country thanks to a quirky rite of spring -- an annual bird-call contest.

A Holly Jolly bar review column, desperately trying to clear our head of those damn dancing sugar plums so that we can hail a cab home, by Drew.
