David, Doris and me "Ridiculous!" Some light updates
I don't usually get to tell you light fun items so first , we had more fun (our classes are constantly filmed) with the newest in a series of tv press circuit for a book called "Yoga Face" that have mostly been running nationally. My teacher is very life affirming and I enjoy being a part of this. There are some great clips on youtube.
One of my oldest friends, David Kaufman is working hard on his new book, a biography on Doris Day and I posted an image of LaMama Theatre because David used to take me to so many plays including at LaMama and he thanks me in the acknowlegement of his awarding winning biography, "Ridiculous! The Theatrical Life and Times of Charles Ludlam". There is another amazing story about how I positively impacted the Doris book with by bumping in to some in the West Village...sweet story I won't tell you know but it even involves me knowing Liz Smith. Way back when, she quoted me at the top of her column with my favorite zen saying "Live Each Moment as if your hair is on fire!" which means give each moment all your passion as if it was your last.
Charles Ludlam was "out there" so he was "real New York", a true New York character and of course the neighborhood West Village -- East Village is the back drop of David's book Ridiculous...I am sure you will find my name in the acknowledge of the Doris book as well. I am so happy I was part of this book coming to be in some magical humble NY way.
I wonder who is going to write my bio and wait until you read this chapter!
