yesterday at.....

Bushwick, attended a long tech of the show that Flako is doing at the Starr. Did not get to read my poem, the one I am performing Langston Hughes' Genius Child but on the train coming back, I memorized it. First time in a long time I have memorized something to show to people.Excited about presenting it tonight, and tomorrow night, hope I remember it. Will be interesting to see how the whole show comes together, who is there to see it, etc. and if I can make my 12 or so line poem effective. Very tired during the whole tech, managed to understand what is going on, however. Was not called to Friends today, so can rest a lot, while I wait to get to Bushwick. We are supposed to be there at around 5:30, but that is rush hour, will probably go in (via J not L) a little earlier, maybe leave my house around 3. Not a bad day to move around, anyway.Can't fathom what I would feel like in the presentation if I had worked today, but on the other hand, disappointed at not being called. Is it possible that for the last two weeks there have really been no absences by the faculty?
Got a nice e-mail from director of show Steve re my ticket for Sunday, really looking forward to it, also will go to Concert on Tuesday night and of course final Assembly before Christmas---always good to be at and say hello to alumni.So I will be around, work or not, similarly, I will ask to be included in the day of discussions at Friends in January, as part of the community.
Body feels very loose, perhaps this is because I have not had to concentrate it at school.
Tomorrow will be a busy day---should still have enough energy for the evening (second) show at the Starr.
Other cast members and tech people were friendly last night, but no real bonding, probably because I was tired and annoyed, nevertheless learned the poem in my tired state, returning from Bushwick on the L train.
Will report on that probably tomorrow, see what happens....
The poem, Genius Child, is great, by the way, so happy that Flako picked it out for me to read.
