a restless time.....

but lessons are beginning to take their shape. Takes a little bit of the stress off, but I continue to run from place to place. Today--should meet Adam G in Bushwick for a talk about a group to discuss current issues (race and class) and the see the play The Wolves, which I ordered tickets for during the Fringe. Don't know how I feel about going to it---the tickets were so cheap ($l.00 plus a three dollar service charge) that I simply took them. So will go and figure it out.
Last night: as usual, decisions had to be made. But I wanted to play trivia at Pine Box Rock Shop, and pushed myself to go. First took M train to Flushing Avenue---fascinating spot as it intersects with Bushwick vis Flushing, east; Bed-Stuy via Marcus Garvey; Jewish Willamsburg to the west and hispanic and gentrified Williamsburg to the northwest. Never dreamed that Graham and Broadway would be actually in walking distance of the projects of Bed Stuy. My goal was to walk up Graham from Broadway to Metropolitan, but a bus was coming and I was tired. Then took L to Morgan and Pine Box. Atmosphere noisy but bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Waited about a half an hour for trivia, when it came, I played, actually came in fourth with some help from Julie, a friendly bartender. Proud of myself for doing this; I shall return for more---liked the vibe from the bar.
Jumped on L and arrived home via the 3, in decent time.
Not much more for now--interested to see how my visit with Adam and plans for a discussion group turn out...will let you know...
