one interesting post on Facebook by a theater director in which he decries his own passivity since he got out of college in 2000, and shows that he is determined to be much more involved. Also, the woman whose apartment house we are picketing tomorrow, just published an article in the Daily News in which she praises the vision of the Mayor's housing program and pushes back (to say it mildly) against the detractors. Luckily, the blog that published this, does push back--with some very strong points. Does this make me a little more nervous about tomorrow's protest.Possibly? This seems like a woman who is very determined to have things her own way, and would push anybody around who doesn't agree with her. Still, this will not stop me from participating in the protest.
There is a work session this afternoon at the leader's apartment to get the material for tomorrow ready. I probably won't be there---I am clunky when it comes to those things. But I plan to join the group tomorrow.
Last night-dinner with a friend at an Italian place in Chelsea. Nice time. Have been reading two books" The Band Played On, by Randy Schultz, a penetrating account of the AIDS situation and the response of government and gay groups to the early explosion of AIDS. Also, Edward III, a play newly ascribed to Shakespeare, written in the early part of his career. A strange piece with many issues that foreshadow his later plays but there is something contrived about the whole situation. I don't doubt its authenticity, but it almost seems like some scholar put it together as a prank. It just seems to intellectually planned. Possible? Who knows.
Tonight, seeing Intelligence that my friend Jess directed, and then may stop off at nearby Burp Castle to chat with my friend, bartender Erin. Will report soon.
