11:14 PM
Canal. Rain starting. Nobody has an umbrella, on principle.
11:40 PM
A stranger stopped us on Eldridge and asked to be photographed. Didn't give a name. Said, "I'll know it's me."
12:50 AM
The back room. You have to know which door. We knew which door.
“Everyone in this room has been in a band with everyone else in this room. It's like a family reunion where nobody's related and nobody's speaking.”
2:20 AM
Two people from the flyer. One recognized the flyer. Neither recognized the name.
The tab. Two names. One crossed out. We don't know why.
3:45 AM
Walked north. Juno appeared on Rivington from nowhere, as they do, and walked with us for six blocks without saying anything, and then said "okay" and turned left.
The notebook got rained on. About half survives.
5:06 AM
Avenue A. The blue comes up. A man on a delivery bike says "good morning" like it's a dare.
