all-city roll call

now, for a moment, breathe.
NY: unitedforpeace&justice “picket at federal building”: Friday, Sept. 9, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
90 Church Street, between Vesey and Barclay Streets (2,3,4,5,6,A,C,J,M,Z,R,W)
SF: if you live in the yay areeeeaaaaa, and you love dancing, deep listening, don diva, derrida and/or mokenstef–and i know you do–you have to go tomorrrrrow to the caps & jones, our people, your city, DJs fire up the dancefloor.
PDX: i am so jealous you get to have this time-based arts festival. Kota Yamazaki! Tiffany Mills! And the migration of the Vaux’s Swifts as part of the festival programming is so perfect. (look on the schedule, i can’t direct-link it.)
N. BKLYN: then again, we are finally coming up close on Agora by Noemie Lafrance, a dance staged in the McCarren PARk pool. site-specific performance, you are my best friend. it’s like in garden state (which i just saw for the first time like, um, 2 weeks ago) when natalie portman’s character is all, “do something now, no one else can ever do again, something totally unique”. you know? TOTALLY.
i’ve got a head cold and all the conventions that normally keep my preteen valley girlisms in semi-check are down in the blood cells, sparring w/bacteria.
S. BKLYN: the bk public library (central) “welcome winter” film program (free every friday!) includes: Fargo, The Ice Storm and White Christmas. the overall concept of this scheduling–murder; despondence; JOYEUX NOEL!!– pleases me a little bit.
CHI-CITY: thanks to jessica r. hopper, $80 fares WHAT UP ATA!, and saturday just cause, i will be in yr city sept 30-oct 3. let’s turn on B96 and have a dance party wherever we happen to be standing.
