listened to Lehrer re broadcast on race problems, some interesting callers and panelists but not much that is different----anyway, will go to Flako's piece at Jack tonight, am sure something galvanic will happen, glad that I am returning to the play, a little apprehensive as to how things will play out---but should be interesting.
Last night: did attend first part of Shakespeare Druid production of Richard II, very bored by it, acting very dutiful, but nothing very interesting going on; can't see why they took an almost uncut version and then asked people to sit through Henry IV Part I. Direction efficient and straightforward but acting lacked any kind of sting. Left immediately at intermission, it was raining heavily, caught 11 bus, took me back to 79nth street and Amersterdam, grabbed a slice of pizza from the Jewish Pizza place that just opened (not very good) and then went to the bar next door where they were offering 1 dollar bud lights. Had one, watched the Saint Louis-Pirate game, then met Vlad, who had graduated from Friends in 05---he is now a therapist in the South Bronx, told him about Bronx Documentary Project---good conversation---glad I ran into him.
After that, went home.
Time to browse other sites, will make a report, tomorrow...
