seems like....

a long way from Saturday night, but did return to the Starr for the finale of the Dickinson project. Got there while the place is in a preparation, not party mode, and staff was more than happy to have me read a poem and a letter written by Dickinson. very successful all around, people who were there really liked it, Flako, who will have a project of his done at the Starr on  a weekend in December, asked me to read a poem for it, will probably do it. Rest of evening a mix of partying and a few poems to music, much like Friday,continued some fun conversations with denizens of the place, by about 9:40, however felt that I was through, left, spent a little time downstairs, and got some pizza at Two Boots by the Bedford stop on L. Ultimately very glad I went, meaningful to become part of that community, very accepted, made some new friends who I will continue with (disappointed that Julia, who I liked very much after our encounters on Thursday and Friday, was not there that night, but more of that some other time). Continue my commitment to "downtown theater community" (a really absurd name, if you consider it) and looking forward to October, when much happens.
Yesterday, simple day, went to south fourth for Pizza, then Cobra later to hang with Susan, Rob and friends.
Football not that interesting to me this year, could that be because of the publicity re violence and head concussions that has dominated the news in the past year, also because I am so put off by the "hermetically sealed" world of the sports shows that I listen to on the radio.
Today, feeling rested, will probably do some traveling, ambivalent about trivia this evening, maybe just "hang' at one the bars I frequent (will any of them show baseball...?) this afternoon, will return to Lincoln Center library to look at more of Tanner's prefaces to Shakespeare...
