Spring is gala season in New York, and it seems the surfeit of social obligations is proving exhausting to the revelers. BAM’s Spring Gala boasted a performance by Paul Simon last night, and New York correspondent Fabiola Beracasa took a camera along to chat up the guests. Though Simon himself didn’t talk to press at the post-party (perhaps choosing to conserve valuable social energy?), Fab did find Mario Batali, Parker Posey, Philip Glass, and others in a party daze. Will the calendar relent? Not anytime soon. This month alone, schmoozers still have events for WNET, City Harvest, New Yorkers for Children, Urban Health, the United Way, etc. etc. etc. … Someone get these people cocktails, stat!
