cityboy experiences..

a little bit of bloating in the stomach. Means anything? We will see---sometimes these things just come and go, or depend on what I have taken in my stomach. Other parts of me feel fine.
First day off from Friends in two weeks (believe it!) A beautiful day to experience the "nothingness" of life, in other words, cityboy has to create his own structure today. And how will he do that?  No problem seeing anything, tonight, but there is also a rally in Bushwick at 5:30 to protest a zoning plan that the current city administration is proposing. Cityboy should be there. Which makes other plans negligible. Could plan a play and return to the city, but don't want to feel pressured. How long the rally and action thereafter, and possible discussion will continue, I have no idea, but don't want to be pressured into leaving for another place, if the conversation remains interesting. I have not been to the Starr bar in a long time; have always wanted to go there, so perhaps this is the night.
  Rest of the weekend, cityboy is trying to determine which plays he wishes to see and in what order to see them. Summer and Smoke has all but disappeared from view--other plays do have to ordered on TDF, or they will be missed. But which ones? Probably easier to determine than I think---and if I don't get tickets for any of them, it does not mean that the time will be flat. Sunday will probably be my "wandering" day, and Monday may be the cookout at South Fourth if it happens. I also have the Grace Paley book of short stories that Chris D lent me---reading those should be pretty fulfilling.
  Anything else to say about the reunion and the Seagull and Bobby's birthday. Well, not much, again, interesting how the Seagull is about my introspective feelings about love and want and success etc. while the party and especially the reunion were about immediate action and friendship--an interesting contrast, which came kind of unexpectedly. The Seagull was simply on at the right time.
  I think that is all for now, I am anxious to get on to other things. Will report tomorrow, or very soon.
