So I's and it's Geri Miller calling frooes back and forth fro in the background calling soat this social worker, ”You black lesbian nigger, get away fro that Mario Cuomo is her father-the other day she called and said Muha-like she knew the cover I did of Cuo, ”He has a birthmark there and I have a birth to Crazy Matty And they both have all this energy She said, ”When you sawin real estate for Alice Mason” That's exactly exactly what she said And I have a funny feeling she's a young senile person After seeing these what she said And I have a funny feeling she's a young senile person After seeing these Donahue Donahue shows Because she says they say it's schizophrenia, but I don't think so A Jewish girl who came from New Jersey-in her shows Because she says they say it's schizophrenia, but I don't think so A Jewish girl who came from New Jersey-in her Trash days Trash days she was our ot crazy One day she was very down to earth, worrying about her topless dancing career, and then the next week she showed up barefoot at 860, saying that the Mafia gave her LSD because she knew tooin all those topless bars they own on 45th Street, I guess she was our ot crazy One day she was very down to earth, worrying about her topless dancing career, and then the next week she showed up barefoot at 860, saying that the Mafia gave her LSD because she knew tooin all those topless bars they own on 45th Street, I guess

And so she's calling fro is, she res that happened to her way in the past Like she brought up when she had sex with Eric de Rothschild in the sixties and she said that after they had sex he called up Jane Holzer to go for a walk in the park, and she said, ”Why did he have to call up Jane Holzer-why didn't he take me me for a walk?” I mean, every for a walk?” I 's happened in her life since then?

Oh, and more sixties updates: My sixty-year-old cousin called and she was in toith her son and said they wanted to come and see the office, so they cah He once took the fil there, and he told s at Madison Square Garden I'm serious You know, Ondine ”rented” all those fil there, and he told s at Madison Square Garden I'm serious You know, Ondine ”rented” all those films from us and then never returned them Loves of Ondine, Chelsea Girls Loves of Ondine, Chelsea Girls And there was a story about Gerard Malanga in New York New York, about hi the new archivist for the Parks Department and for so he was thirty-eight I took a picture of Gerard the other week, though, and he does look great But how old is he really? About forty-two or forty-three? And oh, God, on my Blue Cross I just scribble and s that say ust 28, 1982, so if I have an accident I probably won't get (laughs) (laughs)to think that crystals don't work Because look what's happened lately when they're supposed to be protecting protectinghas cancer fro and crushed it, and I was assaulted at the book signing But I've got to believe in sos could always be worsehas cancer fro and crushed it, and I was assaulted at the book signing But I've got to believe in sos could always be worse

Went to meet Wilfredo, Bernard, and PH at the Matt Dillon play, Boys of Winter (cab 4) And the play, I mean, after Apocalypse Nohat can you do? If it'd coo it would've been a sot killed, and it was so sad, but the ending was just too corny, because the guy would never have killed his friend like that And it's the gayest play on Broadway One of the reviews should say that and thenabout each other

It was raining out and alked toward Eighth Avenue Got a li by (20) So ent to the Hard Rock and Matt was already there He introduced me to his ave ave me a pat on the shoulder Maybe because it was in front of histhat when he sawfor this play and he wanted to see how it felt to kiss a fairy in public

Bernard went and got lost, talking to Susan Dey at the bar He's a would-be starfucker Susan Dey was e war now I don't knohich war Nicaragua, I guess

We left and the rain had turned into a sparklingtoward the Hard Rock and PH yelled, ”Harry Dean!” because she thought it looked like Harry Dean Stanton and it was, so we talked for a er who just looked really bad because he'd taken a lot of drugs, but it turns out he's not a teenager-he's alood! Then Bernard and Wilfredo dropped ave them a twenty because that's all I had Then Bernard and Wilfredo dropped ave them a twenty because that's all I had
