It's great you finally got your bike. I am sure you enjoyed your ride in Central Park???!!! It sounds like Central Park could be pretty tricky though with those little girls on their pink bikes!
I was thinking about getting one of these new xtracycle bicycles but they are a little expensive. I heard about it from an acquaintance who is biking through Mexico with his cello!! You can also use them to bike with a cartload of groceries, a passenger, a surfboard... sounds perfect.
I'm actually not coming to the Bang on a Can festival--Missy [my friend in NYC] asked me to go, but I am in Virginia now with my family and I don't want to ditch my Mom on her birthday which is the same day as the concert. I'm going to be in New Jersey (Chatham) at LyricaFest from June 1 to June 15. I might be coming into NYC during lyricafest, but I'm not sure yet. Then , for a few days I'll be in Brooklyn with Missy. Will you be in town? It would be great to catch up during a walk in beautiful weather.
On the David Byrne website it just looks like it's open Fri Sat Sun noon-6 pm, nothing about a concert. I guess its more of a make your own concert kind of thing. There is a reception on the 31rst from 6 to 8 but it doesn't say anything about performers. But it would be so cool if they did a Talking Heads concert using the building!!!!

Maybe you should reconsider about giving him the exact dates of your visit so in case he 'll be away you can always adjust your schedule a bit without him knowing about it. Just an idea...
I took out some things I thought were TOO much but that is of course the way I would do it, you definitely have to keep your style, still I dare to suggest some editing as above (I hope you don't mind, ignore me, please...)
You better send the email soon and not wait for ever... Love K
