so yesterday.....

at around 5, I headed for 24th street to help out with the BAN project that is happening on Thursday.
Not that many people there---I thought more had signed up, but I contributed. Stayed there for 3 plus hours, during which I glued flyers on to oak tag that would then be put up on placards for Thursday's march. About two other volunteers with me and the two leaders. A lot of work, but glad to do my part; have to remind myself that this is a real contribution that I am making. Will I participate in Thursday's actions. Not sure, will do it on the fly, if at all. Have to wait to see if Friends needs me, then if not, and the day is free, still ambivalent as to what actions I will participate in. Possibly hand out flyers in the morning, maybe go to "the junction" in Brooklyn (Flatbush-Nostrand) and hand out there, also could be a "ruuner" (If such a one is needed) to bring flyers to the posts among Brooklyn where the most need is for them. Anyway, will see how this develops.
Today at 5 I will got to the BAN meeting place again, will see what I can contribute, then I guess remain for the meeting tonight around 6:30. Tomorrow I am free, so see where I am needed then as well.
After working had to return home, then got a pizza slice on Amsterdam at 80th street and walked next door to the mostly empty bar where I watched the end of the Yankee game and the Monday night football game as well. Not much conversation, could have looked for a more interesting bar, but I was tired, did not want to wade my way through raucous crowds screaming for their team, so this bar seemed preferable. Not sure what I will do after tonight' s meeting, will try to stay around 23rd street area, or maybe head south, not a lot happening around uws.
Am fantasizing about a time when I can just go to a movie (maybe the one about Paul Taylor, or the Richard Gere one in which he plays a homeless person) or maybe just walk through a Brooklyn neighborhood (like Park Slope---don't say you don't enjoy gentrified neighborhoods, cityboy)  and not think "politically". Still, am glad that I am being active in BAN, this is what I promised myself that I would do---do not want to just sit back and watch when much is happening that is damaging to many New Yorkers who do not deserve to be exploited.
That's all for now...will report on the day and night to be tomorrow...
