much mellowed from the day before...

or Thursday--maybe it is the weather---finally a truly beautiful day---maybe it is the optimism about my friend Sarah's new theater position---maybe its the fact that yesterday night was fulfilling, hanging out at La Flaca--watching most of the Yankee-Astros game with my friend Bob, also the owner of the restaurant. At any rate, am feeling good.
 Also yesterday, went to Brooklyn to see The Last Black Man in SanFrancisco. a truly beautfiul movie, that centers around a young black man obsessed with taking back the house that his grandfather built but that his father lost, and now is part of a gentrified white neighborhood. Great performances of this really interesting movie--terrific camera angles as well, I was very moved by it. 
  This afternoon--some "mellow" time while I wait for the evening, when I will go to Sunset Park to  the Doxcee, a theater on 52nd between 2nd and 3rd to see a project based on the Arabian Nights. Last year I went to three projects there---really enjoyed it---this year this visit will be my first. After the play there a year ago, a group of us went to Five Boroughs, a cool bar (but no television) on 47th street---I wonder if I will be part of a group that goes there this evening. If not, maybe Freddys on 17th, not too far away. Writing this blog reminds me that I still, at some point should go to the Red Hook bar, called Sonny's , where I have always had a nice time. But it is so far out of the way. Still, should check it out at some point---a good possible "adventure".
  Tomorrow, hopefully a visit to Cobra in the late morning-afternoon, then another play at the Flea theater--where I will be joined by my friend Sarah, and hopefully find out some more information about her new job and the vision it will entail. Will report soon.
