really enjoyed Lucy Thurber's play, Ashville, last night---great cast, terrific writing, I was very impressed---look forward to seeing the others, if I can. Before, got there early, moodly walked through the west village and its picturesque streets---Commerce, Morton, Barrow, etc. Beautiful buidlings, memories of being young, of a different place, a bohemian world of actors, writers, painters, all living on very little---bohemianism that now seems all but gone---all the actors who once lived there---those who as a teen ager I discovered playing young, vibrant people on stage, are now in their eighties, or have left us. Memorial for a time gone by---always incredibly evocative, played off against the aggressiveness of people today---not pertty.
Afterwards went to bar on Sheridan to watch baseball, got what I needed and a nice salad, but the others there were very limited. Still have not been to south fourth since Fringe, usually would return there immediately after---oh well, maybe tonight, after FUREE meeting---will spend time there (and in Brooklyn) this weekend, and definitely at the cook out on Monday.
Tonight, FUREE meeting---before, maybe go to Brooklyn and read...let it happen
