after a disappointment yesterday---a job at Friends was offered to me, but I responded to late---I was e-mailed, rather then texted, and it went to someone else. Quite a setback---always disappointing. Well, I will be there on Thursday, for the next three days, so that should be good. Also, this gives me a little more leeway this evening to do as I wish. There is a forum at Jack that is advertised as having artists getting more involved with their community. Sounds interesting---I am planning to be there. There is also, the Dive bar in Manhattan where two of my favorite servers (actually one is a bartender) will be in residence tonight. Can I do both? Maybe, let the night take care of itself.
Yesterday, I attended the BAN meeting, the first one after their incredible march. Lots of people there, lots of talk of "actions"---nothing that I can commit myself to at the present---have to see how work issues play out. If I can, I will hook in to one of the protests. The nice (and surprising) event of last evening was the arrival of Gabi, a graduate of the class of 09 at Friends, someone who I liked very much. It was great to see her---I had not seen her since the reunion in 14; she came on the advice of Alex, a graduate of 08. She is in Social Work school now. Anyhow, we had a very nice talk, and I hope to see her again at the next meeting. That was the highlight of last night.
Not much else to report. Tomorrow is the West Side Story forum---going in with a kind of distance; the forum is now sold out---so how much chance I will have to truly interact with some of my "heroes" from 60 years ago is uncertain. Thinking a lot about the Measure for Measure, trying to assess how the critics will respond to it---will they accept it as idiosyncratic to ERS, or will they simply be looking for a Measure for Measure production. Can't really tell.
The sun has just come out---a nice sign, maybe can create some calm in my life. Strife tomorrow...will report soon.
