Friday afternoon....

have just finished a session and also attended a dance concert that my friend Shayna was in this morning at the New Victory (a beautiful) theater. Dances were a little slow, but nice to see Shayna doing something interesting. Tonight, if not too tired will head to Red Hook to try to get into Maria R's piece. If tired...? Who can say.
Yesterday: stayed on computer at Lincoln Center Library for quite a while after posting---exhausted every possible web site of interest. Returned home with a lot of time on my hands (about 3 hours) before leaving for the theater where Flako was having his entertainment. Did some reading but at times had to face the "void". Interesting, I find that there is really no repose for me---mind works furiously, constantly. Rested a bit, always seem to need some rest in the middle of the day (possibly because I usually wake up around 5) then got myself together and went to the 3LLD center.
     Flako's piece is essentially the same one that I participated in in December of 2014. Did I feel angry for not being included in this one? Not at all---actually the man who read the short poem that I read in the first production, read it much better than I did. He really phrased it well, listening to him, I finally understood the poem. But I gave up a chance to attend a reading of a playwright that I find interesting---spent a lot of the evening being disappointed about that. Anyway, my friend Sarah was there, as well as a few other acquaintances, so had some good conversations. Have not been at that venue for about three years, and of course the neighborhood has exploded with (what else?) luxury apartment houses. More exclusion. Returned home right after performance since I was tired.
  Not much else to say---lets see if I can get myself up for going to Red Hook tonight, however tomorrow might be better (both performances have no tickets left, so it means waiting list time, but that is not really a hassle) because I am free Sunday until 4 when the first fringe meeting takes place.
Anyway, we will see, whatever, I will definitely not stay home this evening as the first day of the second half of the baseball season beckons.
