said on the poster outside Cobra, as I approached it yesterday before heading to Bushwick Starr for a reading, and that meant that my friend Susan was bartending. She was, and it was great because I had not checked in with her in a long time. We caught up, then I had an interesting conversation with a guy named Richard, who is a medical librarian at NYU, and has roots in the city. Good conversation that ended only because it was time for me to go to William's Reading at the Starr. Very much a work in progress but a fun one, with super actors, later I spoke to one, Zoe, who urged me to see 10 by 12 at Soho Rep, will probably go and try ty get a rush ticket one of the three free nights that I have this week. Left the Starr on a high level of exhiliration, but where to go after that. Did not want Pine Box; then at Lorimer, thought that Pete's Candy Store might be good, but too crowded and too hot, tried Richlane but seemed the same, figured I would just head back to Manhattan when came upon a basically empty bar right off Bedford called Wild Ginger. Bartender was very friendly, we watched Home Run Derby together while I had a kind of heavy beer. Like the place, even if it was empty---great television reception, might be fun to visit during baseball season. Returned home in a good mood.
Tonight, not sure, did not sleep particularly well last night, so might be tired; only game on is the All Star game, which I generally do not like, but might watch it tonight. Then it is two nights with no baseball, since the teams take the extra (Thursday) off. One of those nights I will try to get into 10 by 12----right now I am feeling very energetic...will continue soon...
