so we wandered...

around the city last night, actually the "we" was "me", but it was an incredible trip, beginning at the Film Forum, then down to HERE, where I will be working, then accross Broome Street to Crosby, checking out the trip to Fringe Central (not a long one, by far), then finishing up on Spring until it hits the newly refurbished Bowery, then hitting Rivington going as far as Suffolk, where the Milagros venue for the Fringe will be, wanted to see how far it was, if one was to make the trip twice----pretty far, pretty long haul especially in the summer heat and humidity.
So what did I see? Well, the upscale restaurants that I passed were full of people, no recession there, also got a chance to see the many new buildings that have been built or refurbished on the lower east side in the past few years. It seems like there is one or two on every block. So what does that mean, and where are you in this? Realized that a real estate investment in the area in the late eighties or early nineties would have made an amazing profit. Realized that you are not in that at all. Other things, maybe later---anyway, tonight the Avella fund raiser, should be fun and interesting, glad I am doing it--the days to the Fringe grow nearer--my venue, HERE will be incredibly pleasant---looks like I have lucked out there, that is all..........
