the rest of....

yesterday included a crummy bagel and cream cheese sandwich from one of the coffee spots on Washington Avenue, followed by a trip on the 26 bus, one of the four fascinating buses that move from downtown Brooklyn into bed-stuy and then into Bushwick. Then the L to Jefferson and a visit to Cobra, where are suspected that Susan, one of my favorite bartenders would be subbing. She was, and then had a very good conversation with her, Emily and her friend Paul. Left feeling good, then off to Williamsburg, after deciding that a movie was not in the cards. Hung out at South Fourth, had a good conversation with John, who joined a protest group earlier in the day protesting the city's lack of commitment to building a park in the Bushwick inlet. Glad to see he is becoming more politically aware, then William K, the playwright arrived, and we spent the next half hour discussing theater.
Tried to watch the Pirate-Dodger game but could not (still don't know who won, should check that)
and then went home. Walking down Bedford Avenue saw many young couples, almost amazing how many of them were in that place and time. Usual need to remain in Brooklyn for a few more minutes, but was tired, so both L and 3 trains were very accomodating on the way back.
Four more days to Fringe; looking forward to tomorrow's training session.
L magazine's final print issue had interviews with Brooklynites about the Brooklyn of the late nineties and now. The question was asked, what place mostly represents Brooklyn to you at this point in time. I think if I had to answer the question I would say that it was impossible to choose one place.
On one hand the beautiful brownstones make one feel that one is experiencing something unique, on the other, every time one sees a new building in construction (and one sees many) one is reminded that Brooklyn is becoming an enclave for only one class of people.
That is all for now. After the lesson this afternoon, may see a movie or just improvise my way through the evening. Should visit La Flaca and see how Mets fare against Colorado.
