Suzanne Joelson's show opened that Friday The opening was from 7 to 9 PM. Since we stayed over the night before in Manhattan (see last 7 entries in the previous series), we left for Brooklyn from there. Our plan was to get to the opening close to 7:00PM and stay for a while and then head home to Poughkeepsie (Hyde Park). I was meeting Bryce Daniel at the opening. He is a student at Vassar and is working on a documentary about me and an aspect of my work, including 'Groups' so he came to the Suzanne's opening to tape me photographing groups of people at the opening, which I do regularly when I go to openings and elsewhere. When we arrived a few minutes after 7:00PM. Bryce was already there and had his camera set up. He placed a small microphone on my label which made conversation weird. Studio 10 is down the hall from Theodore Gallery at 56 Bogart Street, which was where Joyce Robins had a show a year or two ago.

I left school at about 3:10PM and headed home to pick up Cathy (Catherine Murphy). First I unset up for her painting in the back bedroom. Then at about 4:00PM we left to go to NYC for the opening. Traffic was so bad in the city that it took us three hours to get to the gallery. We arrived at 7:00PM. The bright spot was that we got a parking spot directly in front of the gallery. Cathy is still not up to walking very far (knee replacement). We stayed at the opening for about 45 minutes and headed back home. Joyce's show consisted of paintings and wall sculptures and looked terrific. See the following four entries.]]> See the previous entry.]]> Gary and Suzanne went to see a concert at Bard. Liddie and Roger sat next to them and they struck up a conversation. When Liddie and Roger came into Panzur about an hour after we had gotten there, Gary and Suzanne waved them over to our table. We were all introduced and struck up a conversation. Suzanne offered them some food from our table so they could taste some of the offering because they had never been to Panzur. We had plenty of food because we ordered a lot of it. It turned out that their son in San Diego owned one of my China photographs given to him by Edith McKennen, who bought it from me and was (she is deceased) a mutual friend of mine and Cathy and the Christianfelds. We all continued to talk and they tasted some food and then the wait person seemed to think it was time she showed them to their table.
