Yes, go meet Esera if you can. He and his partner Mitchell are so sweet. My bf and I had the pleasure of going to dinner with them last summer. They told a couple of stories that were also included in Esera's new book, it was cool to read about these stories that we heard them tell to us.
And if you can't see him in NYC, you can always come to Chicago and see him this weekend. He's here for the Gay Games gala:
Night of 100 Champions
