one lesson down, one to go. Here I am at Lincoln Center Library, one of my favorite places, with some time on my hands. What's new since yesterday? Well...
Will sub tomorrow at Friends, really looking forward to that.
Yesterday, no fatigue in the afternoon, after the two lessons, returned home and prepared for evening trip to FUREE meeting---at NYCHA projects in York Street in Vinegar Hill. Luxury condos directly across the street from the projects---amazing! Jay Street seems to be a dividing line. On one side, affluent DUMBO, and on the other, the Navy Yard projects. Do they get along with mutual respect..? Can't say. FUREE meeting was productive, not that many people there, Michael and Shatia trying to rev up the NYCHA residents as it seems like their place is being threatened. There is a meeting on October 5th, should go and show my support, even if I don't live in the projects. Will see how it plays out. Enjoy my friendship with Michael H, the Hopkins graduate (11) who is playing a major role in FUREE life.
After that headed for Jack, the performance space for a reading of a play by my friend Merlin's friend, Sinaz. This is a piece that I have seen in progress before---she still is playing with the vision for the second act. Lots of people there, to my surprise, everyone very friendly. Shocked to see my old friend Margo S, who is about my age, and does not leave Manhattan much, as far as I know, at the Reading. Spoke to her afterwards, she met another woman there, and they were going home together, so I did not have to accompany them, instead I could take my long wandering walk through Brooklyn (or actually towards BAM and the close subways) , which, sad to say, really turned out to be uneventful. Got pizza at a place near BAM, it was good, but decided I did not want to try a bar for a beer, just went home. Saw many people I knew at the Reading---that was fun---Sinaz is finally going to do a complete production at the Brick in the spring---Good! Hope she gets it out of her system (yes, there are many good things there) and goes on to her next original project.
Weekend fairly open, might take a vacation from seeing plays---party for BAN members on Saturday evening at 24th street space, should go, should be good for an hour, or thereabouts. On Saturday day, thinking of going out to Ditmas Park, have not been there for a while, might be good to wander around there.
Should be reporting back on Saturday(usually do not blog when I work at Friends) so we will see how things turn out.
