which is more important? Trying to make a decent schedule to see the plays and movies that I want to see, while trying also to participate in the actions of the groups that I belong to. Just found out that I can see the play at Bushwick Starr on Friday without hassle, which means that I can also go across the street to Starr Bar and contribute to an important fund. Tomorrow? Not sure---and Saturday may be too "knocked out" from my sessions to do anything. On Sunday, among other things is an anti-gentrification forum in the Bronx---would like to go but still need to know more about it. Next Thursday was the day I thought I would take advantage of my friend Emily's offer to see Eugene Onegin at the Met (for free), but Bronx Documentary Center is hosting a really interesting meeting with four NY Times reporters who covered crime in the 40th Police Precinct in the Bronx, and by doing so, made some changes in policy. Want very much to be there for that.
Yesterday, simply came home and slept the night away. Tonight, after sessions (I expect at least 2) my first choice is to visit the twins at Lansdowne Road. Don't like traveling away from the subway (the bar is on tenth and 44th) on a cold night such as this one promises to be, but could enjoy the open warmth of Melissa and CC.
Just e-mailed, Meropi, the woman who ran the forum at Jack on the afternoon that I attended Home/Sick (still a great production!) suggesting that this forum be continued about once a month. Wonder if she will respond. Forums and activist meetings are all over the place, now, but if you don't find out about them in time; not much that you can do. Also, there is little coordination among the groups. Where do we go from here? This is an election year. How do you educate so many people who though bright, seem not to be aware of so many issues going on in the city? Good question.
That's where things stand now---will report in tomorrow.
