this was an awesome weekend. Friday, i met my friend and mentor Barbara at Grand Central Station where we chatted and ate at Zoccolo. I had a killer seafood salad, made with shrimp, calamari and snapper in a line cilantro sauce. it was cold and cooked in the juice.
On saturday, i went to school and then home to do errands. I headed to manhattan and saw Anthony da Costa with Abbie Gardner in Madison SQ Park.
I then went to an Open House event where the architectural structures of NY are open for pubic viewing. I went on a tour of the Grand Mason Lodge on 23rd street. The Masonic Hall was magnificent with each meeting room with a different design and architectural era. The structure was restored by 1000 men and women in 1980s...

i then went to the New Yorker festival event at Highline Ballroom. Rosanne Cash was interviewed by Henrik Hertzberg. THey talked mostly about Johnny Cash but Rosanne played a full set.
Sunday i drove out to Stonybrook to see Devon Sproule a singer songwriter from Charlottesville VA. Opening for her was Hope Nunnery, a old timey style singer songwriter from NY by way of SC.
