Back in New York, at dinner at Hop Kee, my friends are talking about The State Of Things. They're talking about The State of New York in particular. The State Of What People Care About. I say something cynical and boring, but then my friends are talking about an increasing draw towards real life, things in real life, probably live music more than literature as the next main thing, because live music is more conducive to real life than, for example, a reading. Reading is arguably a solitary activity being forcibly thrust into a social sphere when performed. Music might be more inherently visceral. I prefer readings to concerts but I do think one is a more natural concept than the other. I’ve been in El Salvador and I miss hanging out. Tonight: something new - a meet and greet with an infamous explorer at Sovereign House.
