Saturday morning...

not sure how the day will lead up to my visit to the Doxee to see the third installment of the Sinbad labs at Target Margin. Don't get lost again, cityboy, remember the address is 232 52nd street, not a little further east. And the doors won't open until 7, and please, no key losing tonight!
  Yesterday evening, went to see the musical with lyrics by Sami H, a graduate of Friends 2008 (can it really be that long?) I came, hoping to "grit" my way through it, instead I was pleasantly surprised by how professional the whole project was, a very talented cast, and a musical that, if not earth shattering, did show a lot of potential for its two creators. The plot deals with three Amish girls, trying to find themselves when finally given a year of freedom, was predictable, but the three girl characters were all drawn well, and the plot that followed was nicely constructed, moved easily through time, and never forced anything. A great band and some very good music as well. There were a lot of positives there.
The west village around MacDougal street really looked like a zoo as I approached the theater at about 7:30. Hordes of people going in all directions, with no purpose. Still the same when I exited. Went to Formerly Crows the bar run by the owner of South fourth, which is usually pretty un crowded. Last night, however, they were packed, so I did not stay. Finally decided on a pizza slice at Two Boots near what was once the hospital, and then headed home. On the platform met Mike I from ERS and his partner, and spent the rest of the trip with them. Lots of good conversation.No bar after that, as I was tired, and did not want to spend an extra $8.00. Instead I settled on some ice cream from the neighborhood grocery. Returned home.
 Today, now am feeling tired, but at some point would like to explore the area around the Botanical Gardens in Brooklyn, see if anyone is flyering about the meeting to explain the conflict which will be held on Wednesday. Did not contact Alicia B about committing to flyering this afternoon, did not want to get locked in to doing it when I felt ambivalent about doing it. Still, I will go out and maybe participate while I wait to go to Sunset Park and the play. After the play would like to visit a bar in Park Slope maybe the ( "always cool") Freddys, or somewhere near there Looking for some "adventure", cityboy? It would be nice to visit Sonnys, in Red Hook, I always liked the vibe there, but it is a long way from any transportation and I am not inclined to take a taxi these days. Still, I would like to "hang" there at some point in the summer.
  Tomorrow, may meet my friend for a breakfast, then off to Bushwick to watch baseball and then participate in the forum at Mayday space. Hopefully some good conversation will come out of it, will report on it next time.
