cityboy---very functional morning-payed a few credit cards and got a haircut. Discovered this morning that I really needed it. Waiting for one tutoring assignment today at 4:30---quite a long wait---well a lot of reading that can be accomplished. What about the weekend?
Saturday arrived late at Bronx Documentary Center, then spent the next five and a half hours there. Grueling, somewhat pretentious comments, but learned a lot from the panelists during the first part of the session. Gentrification is only trickling into the south Bronx, but after East Harlem, it could be soon. Part of DeBlasio's mission would be to stop it, yet very few mentioned deBlasio in the discussion of the problems of New York which I thought was a little strange. Always interesting what people cite and don't cite. Then the movie about East Harlem gentrification---very good, and another discussion. Still feel there is a lot more to say, but am glad that the Times finally published today's article on Dasani and her family. Returned to UWS with new friend Louise---a good conversation and a cheese Danish. Totally interesting, dynamic afternoon and night, getting to really like that place. (Bronx Documentary Center).
Yesterday, hung out until play at Friends. Amazingly it was a fantastic production---great timing, great commitment from the cast---beautifully paced--everyone on exactly the same level. Good beginning for Steve, the new theater guy.
Then visited Cobra and South fourth, in the opposite order. Basically a good time, nothing special---and moved into today....
