Carmine Street Metrics
Reading featuring Jee Leong Koh and John Foy. I was also looking forward to hearing John Marcus Powell and Nemo Hill read in the open + I had something to read as well.
At 2:15 PM
I traveled to Houston Street near Avenue C and
searched for Otto's Tiki Bar from the river to 2nd Avenue twice till a
nice fellow, responding to my "Excuse me I'm lost" looked for the Tiki
Bar on his IPhone and found it at 190 Allen
Street in a new hotel, but the doorman said..."Yes, on the top floor
but it's closed." That's when I gave up.
Walked on to third Avenue and
waited for the bus, where I met, rode uptown with and chatted to Wei Leng and
Ise, both artists--he from Malaysia and she from Pakistan. She knew Jee through
a friend of hers and is actually friends with him on Face book. That's
the two of them in the back center of the bus below.
I missed the
reading arriving home about 5:30PM. Looked at the invite
and woke up to the fact that it's on 14th Street !!!!!

The End of Downton Abbey
(a few screen shots off my tiny television)
Got a little teary despite the over-the-top finale with everyone happy
well matched
graciously adjusting to change
villains being thwarted
Granny, magnificent as ever
and a son is born to our favorite couple.
Farewell to my diversion, to melodrama, exquisite landscapes, fabulous costumes, gorgeous interior settings, and all those delicious characters.
Farewell.
