Wow!
How exciting to get a NASA printout of Roger! Great.
Hope you win at chess & can make it to NY. John Giorno 222 Bowery tel: (212) 925-6372 should know where I am staying at 7 Park Ave. Ph-B Tel (212) 686-7241
I think from Nov 29 for one week.
I don’t want to stay longer. N.Y. is such a trap that all these poor prisoners want to hold onto you.
I would like to go to L.A. to inspect Palmdale on the Bulge where I place the Beat Museum on all the terrain from Santa Monica to Death Valley for my very last novel “Bardo Hotel”.
Hope we can get together.
Love
Brion
