Up 8:30. Breakfast, coffee.
Put in some laundry. Tried to call Bree.
Trying to sell 2 Yo La Tengo tickets online; I’d forgotten that I’d bought an extra for a couple of their Hannukah shows. Found a taker for Sunday, a 33 1/3 writer I’ve met in passing.
Got clothes from dryer before therapy at 11.
Started looking into permissions/licenses for podcast; not sure of next step.
Got a new Queens Library card.
Read a transference paper, took a short nap.
Cleaned kitchen, tidied up elsewhere, folded laundry, did some packing.
Watched more of the Brassens tribute show - it’s multiple sets, I’m 2 hrs. In at this point.
A friend of Jack Silbert’s took me up on tonight’s extra ticket. Met him outside Bowery Ballroom about 8. Went in, chatted a bit near the stage, I went off to say hi to Jack. Opening set was CUP - Nels Cline and Yukio C. Honda (middle initial included anytime anyone said her name). One or both sat in for the YLT set; other guest was John Cameron Mitchell, singing Lou Reed’s “I Found a Reason” and “Waves of Fear,” dedicated to the Omicron variant. Comic in-between was Jo Firestone.
Left just a bit early, during the 2nd song of the encore, just to get a jump on the coat check and train.
Listened to a fairly interesting interview w/ Nicole Hannah-Jones, and an episode of a podcast called “What is X?” on the definition of art.
Home about midnight, needed to eat.
