A Crazy But Fun Idea That I'd Love To Work On

All I want to say about yesterday is "Same Old Jets".................

Now that I have that out of the way, since I moved back to the very familiar territory of the East Village/Gramercy area of Manhattan, it has been a thrill and marvelous journey into my past, though many of the faces and places have changed, it is something I've wanted to do for a long time, to live here again. That being said, I've come up with, what I think is an interesting idea. I have taken many pictures of the neighborhood and have posted them on Facebook. They are the places where I've spent a good amount of time in the past. For instance, the schools that I went to, St. Stanislaus School and Stuyvesant HS, the building where I grew up, 103 Avenue A, places where I worked, like Ray's Candy Store. and  the places where I hung out, like Village View and on 4th Street. What I think would be fun, especially for those who share some or many of the same experiences, would be to film, what I guess would be considered a documentary of where I grew up and spent a lot of time. I would request that some of the people that I share these experiences with, would participate in the film and appear on camera to give their views on those times and places. I would ask relatives, childhood friends and former classmates to get involved in it. I think it would be interesting to hear these reflections and would be a good keepsake to look back on. Will I ever get a chance to really do it, we'll see. I figure if I can film silly karaoke performances, then why not do this...........before I get too old.....
