Monday Morning

Wow! Frenetic! Fenetic! Frenetic! that's about how I feel, at this given moment. Yesterday marked the culmination of my brooklyn travels, in that I spent good times at South Fourth and at Stain, feel very at home now in Williamsburg. Had a good talk with Kristen, the proprietor of Stain, mentioned the possibility of her doing staged readings in her space---she seemed interested, my involvement would be just getting it started, don't want to "curate" a reading series like I did in Cornelia Street some years ago (1992 to be exact).
Afternoon began with a surprise encounter with N., a woman who about 19 years ago, I felt very attracted to---she recognized me---we talked a bit, left her feeling still moved by my feelings, but after the two stays at South Fourth and Stain and encounters with other women, don't really feel that much.
Most interesting part of the day was the bus ride down Graham Avenue, from Grand Street to Broadway, about eight blocks, this part of Williamsburg is still heavily Spanish working class, but saw a smattering of whites around...got off one stop after Broadway, on the very fringe of Bed Stuy--looked up Throop Avenue, moving South, what is there? Have taken this bus ride through Bed Stuy and Crown Heights to Eastern Parkway, very interesting, wonder if I will have time for more wanderings this summer, now that I have committed to all that volunteer work at the Fringe. Still some fascinating trips to take. Tomorrow evening, Rent...more about that later.
