email has been sent!!! thank you guys soooo much!!!
K, I am very proud of how I mentioned my plans so suave-ly!!
(I was about to totally plaster it up with links, because I just figured out this crazy street comedian, reverend billy, of the church of stop shopping, is going to be "king neptune" at the mermaid parade. B was the one who first told me about reverend billy, I think he would be excited to see him in person, but I left all that stuff out, so the main message could come across.)
Upon further inspection, I realized that shelter island is a 3 hour trip from brooklyn via public transportation. um, 6 hours round trip... seems unlikely that I"ll see him before august or december, when we might both be in NYC at the same time.
today the thought crossed my mind that I could just call him and say, hey, what are you up to, do you want to get a tea or something, but I didn't do it, I forced myself to wait.
