into the maelstrom of New York city politics. Tonight is the night of the forum regarding the much discussed and protested Brooklyn armory. I was at the solidarity center last night, helping to make some slogans, thinking that I would not attend tonight's meeting (too crowded), but speaking with ALicia made me want to come. So I am going. Will the Mayor be there? If so, real increased security. If not, a little easier. But just in case, I don't think I will take my monthly metro card. Better buy one just for this evening, even if it means spending more money. What about the phone? Well, can take that, but if it is confiscated..? You are getting crazy, cityboy. I don't think that it will happen. Anyway, the feelings, as you can see, are fast and furious. Last night, awoke about 2, and could not fall asleep for quite a while, thinking of this. Into the maelstrom!
Last night's BAN meeting was not greatly attended, but I did participate and helped with the planning. I must call McNair, a gentleman who manages the Starr Bar, and tell him that BAN wants to have its afterparty on 9/9 there. It will be my responsibility to coordinate the details.I am fine with that.
After the meeting, wanted to watch some baseball, but near by bar on 23rd and 7th was packed, so went to the near by diner---had a decent fruit cup and coffee and watched a little bit of the Yankee-Tiger game. The price, before the tip: $8.75. How long will this go on? In a couple of years will the price be over $10.00 or $12.00?
Not much else to say. Reading Janesville, and interesting and intelligent non fiction book about a Wisconsin town that lost a great deal of jobs when the GM plant closed in 2008. Very well written, just began, looking forward to continuing with it. Will report on "excitement" of this evening, tomorrow.
