so what is,,,

new? Just about everything. Elated at protest at Saint Louis Symphony, more of what we need. Sybil has a play in Baltimore, of all places, probably won't be able to see it, but glad for her, excited that it exists in Baltimore.
Yesterday, borrowed William Redfield's book from Chipped Cup. Great book, remember reading it in 67, alone in my studio on Irving Place, working at the Post Office, still recovering from "last year at Hopkins" sadness. Excited by it then, for some reason even more now. Very effective picture of rehearsal process, wonder why it is out of print...should not be. After finding it,  went down to the Center, got a ticket for Barefoot Contessa, Mankawitz retrospective, left after about a half hour, was not getting anything from it, kind of far too self referential. Probably no more of that.
Week is becoming more and more  crowded---tomorrow will probably visit Erin to speak more of her project when she works as a bartender at Burp.
Bob Herbert on radio today, Brian Lehrer show, also speaks of great discontent and apathy among voters.
Will see what happens later....
