The comedy show at Bella Notte at the end of July went very well. Enjoyed performing and watching. Love that friends drove me there and back. Plus a woman I met once, and communicated with on Facebook and in email since, just moved to the Bronx and came to the show! That was such a nice surprise. Appreciated the feedback I received from audience members and the hosts after the show.
This past Saturday was a reading and celebration of an anthology where a couple of my poems are included. The reading was held at the Riverside Library in Manhattan. The celebration was in the park. I got to see people I haven’t seen in quite a while. Fred Simpson, Jessica Nooney, Janet Restino, Natalie Lardner, and Miriam Stanley were some. I met the poet Prince McNally in person for the first time. Loved his vibe.
While at the park, besides being lunch for a few mosquitos, I was falling in love with several dogs, but mostly with a large German Shepherd. His human grandpa (I later learned) was who was with him in the park. By the third time I saw the pair, and the dog still wanted to meet me, I went over to them. As soon as the large dog was jumping up and not hearing the human say no, I said, “He’s still a baby, right?” That’s when I learned he is six months old. A big, loving baby. I assured the man I was okay with the dog jumping on me. Dog love is so pure.
I need a dog.
Mark your calendars, people. The “Almost Fall Comedy Show” at The Artist on City Island (249 City Island Avenue) is September 8th at 8pm. Only $15 cover and NO minimum! You can even BYOB! I admit you might be tempted by their menu of light fare (vegetarian-friendly) and the delicious desserts by
Jenny’s Sweets. https://www.facebook.com/JennysSweetsSA/
It’s a very welcoming place run by Elliot and Monica Glick.
