and all is "well", I guess. Last night did go to Mayday---but the film that I wanted to see was at the end. Instead heard from a lot of people fighting gentrification---fine, and I am glad that I could give them the $5.00 for admission, but would have liked to have seen the film first. Too much dj ing for my taste. Signs were hung up all around the room, stressing the cruelty of gentrification and displacement---the people there were generally friendly, saw one or two that I knew--left a little bit peeved, walked down Saint Nicholas to Starr, looked in the beer bar near Bushwick Starr decided against going in there and/or Heavy Woods, instead took the train right home---I was tired, and went to sleep.
Today, after sessions, will head to Brooklyn to the library at Corelyou Road (I know it because a few times when I subbed at 139 across the street, I went in afterwards to use the computer) and participate in a planning session for a protest to be held on August 13. Want to be involved as much as I can, however that is the second day of the fringe, so I probably will be working when the action itself takes place. Should be an interesting discussion, though. Afterwards, not sure what I will do, many options, depends on how much energy I have left---love the Cortelyou Road area, love walking around there---looking at the old Art Deco apartments, but don't know how long I will stay after the meeting. There are movies that seem interesting at both the Human Rights Festival or the new film festival at BAM (better check the schedule of that right now). A few other options as well, too numerous to go into.
Tomorrow, a chance to go to Trenton to see a Thunder-Binghamton game--promised myself that I would do it---will see how I feel when I get up tomorrow, how much energy I possess for that trip. Remember, the basketball game will start tomorrow at about 8:30---and you don't want to be tired for that---I think---. Again, options, options, well anyway, will report either tomorrow or Monday on those events.
