Hi Hudson –
By now, everyone I talk to says, exasperated, “Ok, enough with this weather.” We get a couple of nice warm days, a tease, and then it’s back to snow and ice. The farmers of the Hudson Farmers’ Market are very hardy, and they show up every week. Me? Not so much.
I don’t think we live in upstate NY for the weather. Where else are we going to live? Florida? They just passed the “Don’t Say Gay” law. Brings you right back to 1983.
Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing Harvey Fierstein and Vivian Bond at Bard. Harvey and Viv talked about Harvey’s new book, “I Was Better Last Night”. Everyone in the audience received a signed copy. (You can buy the book, here, via Hudson’s Spotty Dog bookshop)
Harvey talked about his Barbara Walters interview in 1983. He knew Barbara socially, and he knew that she had many gay and lesbian friends, but yet Barbara, during the interview, played the “everyday person”, as if she was meeting a gay person for the first time. She knew her audience and knew how to make a larger impact.
Speaking of gay book signings, a couple of weeks ago, Antoni Porowski, from the show, Queer Eye, was at Talbott & Arding signing copies of their new book, “Let’s Do Dinner”.
Here’s a true story. There I am, at Talbott and Arding, looking at the cookie display. Someone comes up to me and says, “Don’t you have enough cookies?”
Small town. At this point, I can’t stand my own cookies. People buy them, so, I’ll bake them (unless it’s inclement weather, then, eat an apple. It’s cookies. You’ll survive a week. Find a girl scout.)
There will be cookies next week at the Farmers’ Market – and I plan on donating some to the Hudson Bake Sale, to benefit victims in Ukraine, at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church – 29 S. Second Street, Sunday, March 20th, 10am-2pm. Stop by, buy some baked goods. Make a donation.
Hope to see you there!
