what to do....

on a free day. Tonight will head to Bushwick to see the project of the Mad Ones (always forget the title) which I have heard great things about. Always fun to go out to Bushwick, many friends at the Starr, always seem to meet people I know from "the universe" that is the downtown theater universe that I travel in.
Before that? Not sure, should check out at least one movie that I want to see (there are several) but on a day like today (a really nice fall day) would like to spend most of it outside. Woke up this morning, thought it might be nice to explore Ditmas Park, but it is so far away from Bushwick. Also, energy level is low this morning (have not eaten yet) so that might also play into plans. Really not sure,will figure it out when I leave here.
Yesterday, two "altercations" (seriously), the first in the Saint Marks library with a hostile black man who accused me of taking his space and the second at the in my seat at DUAT, the play that I saw yesterday----no real problems from either (although I got out of the library very quickly)  but the second could have had some serious ramifications---this gentleman who apparently just walked into the play at intermission took my seat and did not understand that he had to give it up, When he finally did, his whole body fell on me (he must have been stoned)  but I absorbed the fall pretty well. Was a little shaken up but continued through the amazing second act of DUAT--the musical that I was seeing. No continuing problems there either, I suppose someone else might have decided to sue Soho rep, but with all the problems that they have now (no permanent space) I don't think they need any more hassles.
But the musical DUAT (or half musical, since the first act is music free) was a very deeply felt look in depth at a black man in his forties. Very inventive, full of  ideas of depth---very deeply layered, with (as usual) a terrific cast. Went because one of the seventh grade students at Friends was in it (he actually has the second most stage time in the play)  but also met my friend (and former Friends student Dylan and his husband, a really nice guy named Todd)  Was lucky enough to get  a free ticket, courtesy of one of the Friends mothers---who was there with her two daughters and a friend, but who really needed to relax and take a break during the two hours of the play. It all worked out very well.
Afterwards, a great piece of pizza at the Two Boots on Avenue A (they are by far the most superior Two Boots) and then straight home---I was tired from the play and the full day at Friends, that went before it.
Tomorrow, probably will visit my Brooklyn "places" (maybe also watch some of the marathon from Bedford Avenue)  and relax watching football and chatting. Perhaps some side trips as well. Sunday might seem like a good day to catch up on some plays and films, but somehow, I am more attached to 'hanging out" and finding enjoyment in real life encounters.
Will report on it soon.
