Just read about the current administration (Federal) attempt to possibly send back many Haitians and Hondurans living in this country back to their native lands, for no real reason. A rally outside the White House planned for a week from Sunday. Won't go, but wish that I could. And then, what can one really do, once on receives this information? Make contributions to groups fighting to protect these lawful immigrants, I suppose. That would help. Still, one is stuck with a feeling of helplessness, of not being able to create policy one self. There is nothing more to say.
Saturday, spent the afternoon at Jen G's outdoor birthday picnic, nice conversations with many, especially with one of the two Emily's that was there. She works at the Met, so there is much to talk about. Perhaps will continue at some point. In the evening, I returned to Assembly's Seagull-Machine, for its last performance at LaMama. Nice to see it again, but I did not see a lot of growth in the performances, actually they seemed more mannered then on the first night, there was greater honesty and simplicity at that performance. But the vision and ideas of Hamlet Machine, by Muller, the second part of the production were clearer to me. Still do not understand why the elaborate costuming in Part II, if Hamlet-Machine is a piece of deconstruction, shouldn't its look be more austere? Not really sure why the elaborate Elizebethan costumes were chosen. Still, it was nice to touch base with the group, and it will be interesting to see where they are going from here, I was tired, so I decided not to hang out with them at the next door bar as I did on the first night.
Sunday, an understated day, kind of tired, finally felt strong enough to go to Standings and watch baseball and basketball for two hours; also it was good to see my friend bartender Sam there. Not much else to report, a nice time.
Today a free day, the "event" of the evening will probably be the Yankee Red Sox game, at this point my plan is to watch it at La Flaca, that of course might change. Will report soon.
