in Brooklyn on this...

last day before the Fringe. So it begins as it has for the last nine yearss. Tomorrow, in the midst of this incredible heat wave, I will be working the two box offices at the Players Theater. Wow! Eight shows on Sunday, when the temperature is supposed to be close to 105---will I stick it through----I think I can. Will try to blog during the Fringe, but it may not be possible on some days.
   I was in Brooklyn because a press conference was scheuduled for 12, regarding the march, but it has been canceled. Oh well, saves me another "ordinary" day in Manhattan and this library (the Central Brooklyn one) is very cool. At some point will leave here and head to Fringe headquarters on 2nd and 4th and see if I can get some questions answered and maybe a little more training. Then to do my session in the library later in the afternoon. That should be the day---maybe something in the evening, but have to get my rest. Not sure if there is an pre opening night get together that I might attend (there usually is). At any rate, all will be revealed to me later.
Yesterday evening, headed to Lansdowne Road to visit with the twins---I had seen their play last Thursday. They were really happy to see me, and I had some good conversations---especially with Mel (one of the two twins) I am really happy that they have done so well with the multiple roles that they play---but when you look at it, they really do have to move back and forth into several different roles with no time for change---a lot of skill is required, and they really show that they have it. Standing on tenth avenue, waiting for the bus, I really felt a surge of joy for them---glad to be as supportive as I am. Looking forward to seeing them again at the bar in Setpember.
Just read about Baltimore's reaction to the Justice report, condemning police practices especially against people of color. So many liberals and decent people in that city, yet because the areas in whick black people live are so isloated---these polcies were allowed to continue. Hopefully there will be real communication now and something will change.
That is it for now---will report soon,...
