Funny day, I wore the jump suit Scotty gave Julie, and Julie is letting me borrow.
I found this out on Sunday when Scotty said,”Did Julie Atlas Muz give you that”
“Yes”, wondering how he knew?
“Someone gave it to me, and I gave it to Julie.”
“Yeah, I love it”
“Good”
Anyway that’s what I wore, an older man with hearing aides comes into the shop and asks,
“What holiday is it that you are wearing all green?”
I explain to him what it’s about, after he takes his hearing aides out, makes it disorienting for him to hear me talk. I give him one of the Year in Rainbow flyers and he takes it and looks around the shop. On his way out, while I’m ringing up another customer he says,”on my next visit, I’ll bring you a frog!” I said,”Thank you.” But in my adult-freak-out-mind I thought,” What am I going to do with a frog? I can barely feed myself let alone another animal! I’m never home, I’d have to take it out for walks.”
Later on that night I went to see Lustre:a midwinter trans fest at PS 122, what a fantastic show. Justin Bond gave a really lovely performance so spiritual and down to earth, so connected, so California. Glenn Marla was in the show(that’s why we were there!) and he gave a smashing performance!
I met my friend Emily there and I saw Morty Diamond and Sady there as well, we sat together, but when I was telling Morty the story about the guy in the shop, I said,” I’d have to take the frog out for ‘hops’!” I thought it was funny!
Emily and I went to Sidewalk afterwards for a lovely bite to eat, she’s really inspired me because she opened her own massage and yoga studio in Brooklyn, check out her web site www.newyorkcitymassageandyoga.com
Part of the reason my photos are sparse was that I left my rechargeable batteries in the charger at work, so when I got home I took this video of myself, I didn’t know it had sound, so anyway here is an image of me from February 22! Go to this You Tube link, because for some reason the video kept showing up at the top of the page instead of here where I wanted it!
