great time last....

night at Cowgirls, the bar on Hudson Street where the Asssembly has it monthly hang outs. Able to be there because no work at Friends. Many terrific discussions with members Ben, Jess, Emily and others. Lots of energy both artistic and political. The crossroads of art and activisim. Where is it?  That seems to be the main question that we discussed. We will see how it develops, Glad to tell Ben about deBlasio's 45 Rivington Street problem and others. Best evening out that I have had in a long time. Great to have the time to do it. Two more evenings to follow---today, the 10th anniversary of South 4th street bar, and tomorrow the Bushwick Starr party, and then (if I am not too tired) across the street to the Mayday bar activist discussion world. Will I be able to do both, after a (not too long) day at Friends, and with a full day of sessions and the fall play coming up the next day.? Hopefully yes.
Walking down Hudson Street from the A on 14th to the Cowgirls bar, brought back memories of a girl named Zita (truly that was her name) whom I had a serious crush (maybe hunger for is a better way of putting it) on in 1968. Her apartment was on Hudson, slightly south of 14th, something like 621. Only went there once, a kind of heavy date, but I remember the walk to her house, trying to take everything in the neighborhood in. It was August of that year, we went to Yonkers Raceway, then went back to her apartment and made out for a while. I left feeling a sense of triumph; I had been interested in her for a couple of months, and it looked like after this, we might become a couple. but it did not happen; she very heartlessly broke our next date (with almost no warning) and from then it was all over. What happened to her? I think she married some guy and settled in the DC area. Like me, she was a big opera fan. A good fantasy is being at the Met and having her run into me. She would probably recognize me now, not the opposite. I probably would be curt but not that interested.
Speaking of that, had a nice talk with ___. someone I have liked for a while. Will anything happen from that? Don't know. Confused about closeness, huh cityboy? Well let it happen.
Nothing else really to report---many movies to see, but a bit turned off by the idea of sitting in a movie theater, at this point cityboy prefers real life. Well, the party tonight should be fun, will report on that and other things next time.
