spinning from all the activity over the weekend. Where shall we begin...?
Saturday, stopped off at Cobra, had a nice conversation with Claire (bar tender in the weekend mornings), then, since it was the first nice day in a while, walked to Myrtle Avenue stop, not sure what to do then, played with a lot of ideas, finally decided to take the L train 2 stops further IN to brooklyn to Wilson Avenue stop. Have heard of people buying co-ops that far east---thought it might be interesting to investigate. Stop itself is interesting on two levels, walked west on Wilson, about eight blocks, saw a mixture of mostly hispanic people, but some young white people as well, neighborhood seemed kind of mellow, finally go to Halsey, waited for bus and took it across Broadway into bed-stuy. Went as far west as Classon, got off, my destination being Outpost (I suppose it once was) and arrived, used the bathroom, and had my coffee. Afterwards moved to Franklin, walked north on the street through what once was considered a tough area of Bed Stuy, now at least 50% gentrified, stopped and looked into the bars and shops. Walked to Bedford, and finally got a bus to Williamsburg, then to South fourth, where I met up with Sonja, have not seen her in a while, we had a good conversation, she is moving to a co-op in Manhattan, not far from La Flaca.
So ended the night.
Yesterday, great lesson with Kyla, rushed to Brick theater on Metropolitan and Lorimer for performance of a strange play about relationships, my friend Lucy played a dog, some good conversations afterwards, then back to Cobra, Susan, my bartender friend was there, had a great talk about movies with a guy named Danny, he is a screen writer, may have a production of a script coming up, invited me to read it, my head whirled with all the movies we referenced in about an hour.
After cobra, thought that I might stop at south fourth, but too tired to do much else, after a bagel and american cheese near train stop, headed home.
