Lotta good movies came out that year, but...

Poster from the movie Excalibur, with the title at the bottom in shimmering lettering and a hand holding up a sword that glints in the light, and the words "forged by a god, foretold by a wizard, found by a king" at the top

Saw one of the greatest jazz pianists, Sullivan Fortner, at the @villagevanguard.bsky.social last night. He's a genius and his playing is joyful. See him this week if you can. Another favorite of mine @vijayiyer.bsky.social is playing a dream concert at the Jazz Gallery on Friday night w/Ron Carter

The jazz pianist Sullivan Fortner wearing a black shirt and black baseball cap speaking into a microphone at the front of the Village Vanguard stage, with a red curtain in the background and his drummer off to the right drinking water after an hour plus set.

Enjoy yourself at Birdland this week, where the legend Ron Carter and Bill Frisell are playing for two more nights.

Today's political engagement

screenshot of a text message to me encouraging me to request an early ballot, vote for Andrew Cuomo, and saying Stop Zohran Save Your City. My reply was "Go fuck yourself" followed by Stop, and then I was informed I had opted out and won't receive further messages.
