which was wonderful, really had a great time, great to see some of the kids I know so well, doing some very inventive choreography and dancing. Decided not to see a movie (although Tribeca Festival was incredibly crowded at the nine o'clock show, just for a group of shorts! Walked though the East Village, trying to figure out what bar I would be the most comfortable at, watching baseball and basketball. Ended up at the one between 13th and 14th and Avenue A---I have been there many times before, treated very nicely by the bartender, but basically this is just another one of my "sterile" bars----room enough to watch baseball, but very little contact. I have to remind myself of this, on some nights I think that watching baseball in itself will be sufficient, but usually I feel played out fairly quickly. And yet choose these bars sometimes over bars in which I am known. Should be a little different tonight---after I tutor Andrea, should either go to Lansdown Road, or over to south fourth where, I hope, Kim might be working. Then maybe to Sweet Science to use the coupon book that I got from Brokelyn and chat with Danny, the bartender that I met at South Fourth on Sunday.
Richard Powers' book Orfeo is really exciting---very intense writing---should finish it by the end of the weekend.
Still have not seen anything since last Saturday...no movie...? Possibly tomorrow, though sometimes I think it is better that I do my wandering.
