cityboy the idealist planned to go to Brooklyn this morning, specifically Weeksville (Buffalo Avenue and Bergen, for the uninformed) where part of the BRIC Bienielle is taking place, this one more focused on the effects of gentrification in the Bed Stuy-Crown Heights neighborhoods. It should be photographs, paintings, some musings, I expect---sounded like something that I really wanted to do, but woke up without a lot of energy, and now, at around 11, feel the same way. Will I make it? Well, there is always tomorrow and the exhibit runs until next week. We will see.
Also today the Metrograph Cinema is showing Point Blank, a 1967 movie, with Lee Marvin, directed by John Boorman. The movie has become a kind of legend in its time, on paper about a theif who gets to Alcatraz, but behind that something more. Really want to see it, three chances today only,. hope that I make it.
Yesterday, had one session, really productive with one of my students---he is a third grader who needs a lot of help with math concepts. I really enjoy the challenges of working with him. Besides that, not much. After Tuesday night's "adventures" , was tired so simply returned home and spent the rest of the evening there. Yesterday, however, did reveal one important revelation: There is a coffee place that just opened on Broadway, and 142nd street, west side. Just another coffee place, with everyone at their computers, etc. you get the picture. But wait! This coffee place has everything, and I mean everything, priced at $2.00. Yes you heard me right, two dollars. Had a nice omelet croissant there yesterday, really filled me up, I should be making many return visits.
That is it for now. The plan for tomorrow is to try to see Nabucco at the Met---that's Friday, and then The Eve. Will be moving around for that one...will report tomorrow...
