so it is.....

over! First day of "freedom"! Should contact  a few of my students,but have not yet, simply deposited my check and came to the library. What happens next?
Final day ended with my venue director "helping me" break down the Event brite system---actually very easy, but in my head I was not able to put it together myself. Always a little nervous around machines----if I return to the Fringe next year, will try to shoot for a "pod" rather than a normal box office. Might be less money or less work, but might create a more workable system for me. I also should investigate paying options that have changed in the past year---only learned about it this year, but next year, if I do it should explore all work options. Really had to grind my way through this year---very little gets me angry, but when the "audience ambassadors" were called up to take a bow at the party---had to stand next to two women who did much less work than I did and made their own hours. That got me angry. Left right after that, grabbed a pizza slice on first avenue, made my way home slowly on the subway. A bit of walking in the Sunday evening haze between Avenue A and first avenue, streets not too crowded, but still some people in bars. Earlier in the day, after leaving the Fringe lounge where I dropped off the Eventbrite supplies--I took the bus to the mid-Manhattan library, got off around 35th and Madison, looked at the Murray Hill architecture as I walked toward 39th street. It creates a world of its own. It is as if every block has a series of memories for me.
    What next? Well tonight, might see a movie and then head down to Standings to watch the two very important baseball games that are being played by the New York teams. Or, could do it the opposite and see the movie later. Also should at some point stop off at Bobby's restaurant. La Flaca at Grand Street---have not been there for a while. Plenty of movies to catch up on the in the next few days---also may try to go to a Minor League game at either Brooklyn or Staten Island. Brooklyn is easier to get to but prices there are grotesquely expensive.  
 Seems to be all I have to say now, will continue as the week progresses...
