does the city boy occupy? Just got a comp for Friday evening's Beardo in Greenpoint, may also see Russalka at the Met on Thursday---and the reading at Bushwick Starr on Friday. Menawhile tonight is the BAN meeting--will see what happnens there.. Then there are the walks---another one today---after picking up my check from Friends, decided to make a change, so I took the A to Brooklyn, made the deposit at the bank in Bed Stuy, and then walked from Nostrand and Fulton to the Library at Grand Army Plaza, (stopping off at a strange bagel-smoothy place in Bed Stuy.
Reading the Paul Auster novel 432l, as I go along--it is gargantuan, but very inventive. Walking down the Bed Stuy and Crown Heights (are is it Prospect Heights) streets, try to get the whole story of the last 50 or sixty years of the neighborhood. Like a novel, I try to understand how this area, one very similar to the one I grew up in in the fifties, changed radically around 67, and now has morphed back into a placid, well to do, area. How did it happen.?
Not much else to say---BAN meeting will prevent my listening to the President's speech, really do not want to---will hear enough from the comments afterwards. Will see what happens, tomorrow.
