there is to be a protest today against some very aggressive predatory harassment of tenants in four Clinton Hill apartments that have recently been turned over. Today at 1. Should I go? Can make it if I hurry and have a quick bite---should really go, even if it means that I have to return to Manhattan this afternoon for a session, or maybe two. It is not that far by train to Clinton Hill, can make it unrushed if I start in half an hour. Should I? Will I?
Yesterday, saw movie called Class Divide at documentary festival in Chelsea, Very depressing movie about highline and its effect on housing prices in Chelsea played off against the life of several families living in the Housing Project across the street from the new and exclusive Avenues School. Well made, but still does not deal with certain points. Have never been on the highline---seems uninteresting to me. Afterwards, grabbed a terrible piece of undercooked pizza nearbye, then headed to Williamsburg, checked in at South Fourth, had nice conversation with Bill and Alison, and later Merlin, my actor friend. Full of energy as I returned to subway station, almost walked a little more, but worried about possible heat damage in my apartment (it did not happen) made me take the subway back right away. Beautiful night to move around in, though.
Today, after possible visit to Clinton Hill, have a session on 145th street, then off to Friends to see John Byrne's talk, then to BAN to help with the flyers for tomorrow's action.
Bill, the artist whom I met at South Fourth may also come to tomorrow's action, I will go (with some trepidation) if there is no work for me at Friends.
That is it for now, silly heat over reach problem in apartment caused smokedetector to go off this morning,(I did not even know it was loaded), but I could not stop it without totally dismantling it---kind of traumatizing for a moment there. But it is over now, will report on more tomorrow
