Larry Picard: A Life in the Musical Theater

I thought it would be a good idea to ride a bicycle to church. And then try riding it to work after we relocate to Wall Street. So, two weeks ago I started looking for a new bike. First I went to my very local bike store, On The Move, three blocks away. They were very nice, but had nothing in stock. They told me what kind of bike I should get, though.

So, then I went to the second closest bike store in Park Slope: Dixon's. Dixon's has been around forever. They didn't have the one I should get, so the salesman suggested I try A&R. How did I know which one I should get? The guy at Dixon's said that all the folding bikes they had would be too expensive and not worth it. I should go to A&R and ask for the Speed 7.

So, off to A&R I went. Down to 5th Ave. and to the right 3 blocks or so. They had a ton of bikes, shoes, tight-fitting clothes and the Dahon Speed 7. In green. So, I bought it.

I bought my helmet this past Saturday (after riding to Brooklyn Heights without one). I decided on the shot-from-the-canon version rather than the Mr.-Speedy-Bikey-Guy one.

And now, I'm ready to ride it to church. But not until after the Global Arts Street Festival I organized between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 8. Four hours of music with crafts and food vendors, not to mention face painting and a music circle for the kids. You should definitely go.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to hear the amazing Latin pop group “2Divine,” exotic Oud player David Cohen, jazz violinist Gwen Laster, R&B Diva Jami Jackson (right before her Bitter End Debut) as well as the FPC Choir and the amazing Dzieci Theater and sample handicrafts and taste delicious food from around the world.
Also featuring a special Kids Music Circle at 2:00 p.m. and face painting. Take part in rituals and performances (both sacred and profane), and taste from a tantalizing array of international cuisine.

12:00 PM, Jami Jackson, R&B Pop Vocalist
