Ah New Yorkers!

A few interesting encounters at St Marks Church tonight as we waited for the tour to arrive: First a man who was reading the paper on a bench near us as we rehearsed exclaimed "Do you have to do that right here?" and when we explained what we were doing he replied "Haven't you done enough? Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, you people have to go ruin something else." Not a lover of the theater. Who we people are was was unclear.

Bryn Manion (director of The Rock Garden) made a new friend - a self-described drug addict who wanted, first to know what was going on in his hood, then respect, then to be a part of the show, then just to talk for a while, but eventually decided he would let us do our thing while he completed his run to the liquor store.

When we did finally do our bits many passers-by gathered to watch. ps it was really cold, especially those brave performers in tiny dresses, or their underwear.
