Quiet here since school has been taking up far too much of my time. I had my ASP (the Tisch Center’s version of a masters’ thesis) proposal due Friday. If that isn’t accepted I have to do a group research project and since I’ve had it with group projects, I really hope my proposal is accepted. Also working on my business plan for Financial Techniques, the topic of which I changed this weekend. I really do bring it on myself, I swear.
This weekend’s New York Times article Getting Beyond the Ferry is timely. A lot of questions have come up regarding what there is to do in New York with the vast majority of Broadway dark. There’s one possibility. Those of us who live here know how much more there is to the city beyond Broadway but sometimes it’s hard to get those who’ve come for a specific purpose to hear that.
From the WSJ:
“With this strike, there is “an immediate and palpable sense that the wind has been sucked out of the sails,” says Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance, a businesses association for the Times Square neighborhood, where most Broadway theaters are located.”
The writer’s strike hasn’t really affected New York, but it’s going to be interesting to watch how this plays out.
