  1. It was good to meet you. I was kind of in the middle of the crowd. Fortunately Ana is so tall you can see her from anywhere. Knock out set, especially the savage “Just Like Kids.” Then she had to borrow a substitute guitar with a reverse headstock and had no idea: “Is this a prank?” Funny, emotional, raw and “Davy Crockett” to end. My throat hurts from “Gabba gabba hey!”
  2. I did consider going to Francie after Hinds, but that’s a way to get home at midnight. It will keep. (It has launched an interesting loyalty program but I just don’t eat there enough for it to make sense.)
  3. Irish-American (he said pedantically).
  4. I will doubtless tell Ana and Carlotta tomorrow night, forget your entourage, we are steps away from affordable wine.
  5. Woke up this morning and the apartment was richly stinky. I had left the Herve Mons Camembert out last night. 👃
  6. I went to see “Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now,” the new show at the Rubin, completely oblivious to the sad news that the museum will permanently close in the fall. It’s a great show to go out with, spread over 7 (is that right?) floors. It presents work by 32 contemporary Himalayan/diaspora artists boasting a huge range of different practices. The brilliant curatorial stroke is to present this work embedded in the Rubin’s permanent collection, surrounded by its legacy influences. Not to be missed.
  7. Constant email reminders that every bottle at Francie is 20% off on Monday nights, so could walk ten yards from Baby’s and get hammered.
  8. But it’s okay, the sources of trauma resolved themselves, quick intervention with anti-inflammatories calmed my arthritis and I had a wonderful day with the new Himalayan artists at the Rubin and, improbably, a fantastic show about sleeves at FIT.
  9. I have been depressed and traumatized by stuff for 24 hours, including not least being bounced out of bed at 3.20 am by fierce arthritis pain in my ankle.
  10. Paul Laurence Dunbar and Orville Wright were buddies at their (just recently desegregated) Dayton, Ohio high school, and for some time after. Reading Jarrett’s 2022 bio of Dunbar.
  11. Actually that is an amusing solution. He just bought countless little indie poetry books. Would fit the persona.
