relaxed at last......

Thursday morning. As the weekend (long) approaches, feeling loose and relaxed. Had a really nice session with Chelsea yesterday, spoke to her reading teacher also, who seems impressed by what we have accomplished. Free day today, don't push it too much, will meet Mickey and Edd later today at Dojo. Got a call from Jamey at Friends yesterday re some days, so that should be coming through soon. Weekend should be fairly unstructured, will do a decent amount of wandering through the boroughs, stop off at few places, catch up etc. Some movies or plays....perhaps. Still long to wander through the Bronx, but wonder if that will be now or later.......

So finally

it is over--the Fringe that is, ended Sunday, went to the party on Sunday evening, talked alot with Nancy, Jennifer and her friend Tara---who seemed interested. (well, atleast for the evening). Had a nice day yesterday, then awoke today awash in pain, because the balance of the books did not still add up. That is, the 500.00 that I got from the Fringe is so little---so have to go into Credit again---no at all what I wanted, yet must do it. Other thing is the Bloomberg decision to try to overturn term limits, want to stop it as much as possible, talk to as many people, get into political blogs, etc.---there is enough sense that he is hurting the city, but the newspapers insist that he is "popular". How long will this go on? Anyway, want to do something about this---also, waiting for work--hope it comes soon. Not worried about choices for the evenings between now and labor day, already perhaps too many...but then again.....

another day....

last night almost lost it---well, not really, but so many obnoxious self entitled people at the Zombie show at the Fringe. Tonight I am anticipating another large group for Amish Project. If it is not sold out beforehand, there will be a lot of negotiating to do. Kestrel and Sassafras will be there for the 3:30 show, which should be good, and then the two shows from Chicago, which will probably be very easy box offices. Good conversation with Mary from Missing Man, which I hear is very good, yesterday (The conversation that is).
Looking forward to the end of the Fringe, and the return of my life to some normal choices about where to be in the evening. Can't believe it has been two weeks, also never thought that it would be so much work, but have met a lot of interesting people, always good for that.
But it will be nice to END, to have a little bit more time to myself.

can it be.....

four more days of the Fringe. Then free at last! There seem to be so many things I have missed, but ofcourse, this is something I wanted to do. Summer almost over...is that all...I guess for now.

a week later.....

I sit in the same library. What a week it has been! Simply hard work at the fringe, finally today a day off, in which I have just taught Chelsea (who is doing well, by the way). The work has been hectic, and I don't help myelf by not having a book to read, during my breaks, still I have had some very good interactions, met a lot of interesting people, and generally feel that this has all been worthwhile, even if it has taken away all of my "other" (by this you mean "hangout") life cityboy. Five more days of box office managing, since this break comes on sort of a "high", albeit a tired one, we can only imagine, what the next few days will bring. After that, bak to ther real world.

a little more....

relaxed today, as I sit here in the library in the Bronx near Chelsea's house. Tomorrow the FRinge begins, and that means a whole new world---very involved and very little time for much else. Good, I think I have had enough of my "freedom" ie lack of structure.
Yesterday went to Hubbard Dance , finally saw Kelly dance, she is very good as is the rest of the young company. Said hello afterwards, that was nice...and the visited Kim and the others at South Fourth. That too, will have to stop during the Fringe. Afterwards, well I have just a week before the school year begins, would like to visit Baltimore, but.......we will see.

cityboy has to....

run, only a few more minutes left on the computer---sitting in the Library in the Bronx, not far from Chelsea's house---was resistant to going there today, but went, and to my surprise, had a very good lesson, she is really doing very well---she should really be ready by beginning of school. Which reminds me.......check the opening week schedule please, cityboy, right after this! Also, had a good time on Saturday; went up to Vassar with Billy Strong (good to see him again) to see our friend Ned in a play by Joe Guilford. Very nostalgic play about his parents, Jack and Madelyn Guilford---he has really done a good job, very fulfilling afternoon---its future...? Who is to say. What else? Well the walk through Greenpoint yesterday was of interest, still have to control moods when I am by myself. Longing to walk on 173rd street in the Bronx. Why? Not sure, but it calls to me. Before or after Fringe...leave it for now.........
