Street party this afternoon in Bushwick. The Bushwick Starr, one of my favorite theater companies is having its yearly block party---outside their new theater, which, I hope will open by early next year. It is a five hour party---beginning at 2--- would like to get there around 4. But what about the rest of the day? restless----I think the best plan would be to go to Brooklyn around 1:30---maybe spend some time at the Center For Fiction, then take the 26 bus which travels through Fort Greene to Bed-Stuy (the new Bed-Stuy, with its coffee shops and new expensive apartments) and finally arrives in Bushwick. That is where my mind stands now---but still so much time to kill. Don't want to sit in a movie theater for two hours before the trip---so just have to work it out. Time seems to be moving very slowly on this Sunday.
Yesterday, two days after my last infusion---spent the day in the neighborhood---some reading of Tony Tanner's Shakespeare Essays in the library---love reading his vision and understanding of the works. Reading a play by Thomas Middleton called The Witch---written and performed around 1615. Some interesting moments but very episodic and characters seem for want of a better word, one dimensional. Then back to the apartment where just about every major league game yesterday could be seen for free. Watched most of the Oriole-Rocky game---I think it gets to be too much--kept me in the apartment---not so much of a good thing.
Final week before labor day---usually a slow week--Labor Day for me has always been a beginning of the year. I have a heavy schedule just about each day---will lead into the long Labor Day weekend--once again I will find myself on my own. Have some friends in Williamsburg whom I might call--this might be a good chance to catch up with them---remember how it used to be when South Fourth was opened---could just go there and depend on some interesting conversation. And now...?
