working hard....

at FUREE, to prepare for the Convention---making me very aware of the inequites between the rich and the poor of this city. Not that I wasn't aware of that before, but in downtown Brooklyn, you have a monolith of developers pushing hard at all costs. They act as if they have more rights the the other people living there. Made phone calls Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday participated in the planning for the Conenvention.
How do you stop a juggernaut...? Reading J. Kozol's book, Fire in the Ashes, again making me very aware of the poor communites in the city, in this case the Bronx.m Tonight will see Sarah F's play Mickey and....
(can't remember the rest of the title) and participate in the after discussion. Will inhabit a very different world from the one of FUREE. I think this is making me feel strange---the two worlds don't seem to intersect at all.
Subbed at Friends, Friday and Monday, after Monday, totally exhausted, still would have like to have been
called today---hope for some work soon.
Today got my first look at Martha Swope exhibition, very good, but name of original Diesel (and the first Riff that I saw) Hank Brunjes was misspelled. Notified theater librarian, he said he would give it to curator, but did not seem to think she would be interested in talking to me....ah well.....
