Tuesday morning: got up early---some indeciseveness, but left around 7 for the Brooklyn Museum. Arricved there about 35 minutes later and joined the group that was already there. Everyone very nice, grabbed a sign and stood facing Eastern Parkway north. Nothing to worry about, we changed, people going to work accross the street watched us, atmosphere very mellow, not predatory, police polite and uninvolved. Stayed about 2 hours, left for a coffee at Brooklyn Library nearbve, returned and then went to BRIC to use the bathroom. Returned then (walked up Washington Avenue from Fulton Street to the Museum) and listened to speeches scheduled for 12.
A good experience, glad I decided to do it, I was there early when people were really needed to carry posters and confront people going to the subway accross the street. Very cold, though. Good to be involved, will probably continue with this.
Last night, rushed to John's speech, he gave a nice one, although I wish he had told how he and Friends Seminary bonded. After that walked to work space for BAN, put together some posters with some others, then had a blt at 23rd and seventh greek place, not a bad BLT, was able to watch some of the football game. Tired after that, came home
Nice to be in the Brooklyn Library now; they have many plays in published form that I might like to read, but should try hard to finish book on cities.
Later for more...
