I was excited to come to Brooklyn to perform with my ensemble at Yellow Fish Festival VI in 153 Coffey St, Red Hook, but the festival curators Babette Pendleton, Eleanor Kipping, and Rana San, made the executive decision to remove us from the festival, and this information was intimated while two of three cars carrying the full ensemble were already in transit. Jack knew about this and was incredibly accommodating to us by giving us permission to use his driveway. We held rehearsals everyday from 9 am to 11:30 am and 5 pm to 8 pm on his driveway, conducting theatre, painting, and film experiments, and we were finally able to deliver a public performance in the Capital One plaza downtown Patchogue with a reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Long Island (MoCA LI) on Friday, May 21st. Jack and his family went above and beyond to make us feel at home during our stay, by supplying items (iron, sieve, etc), giving sage advice, and providing an atmosphere of quiet, safety, and comfort. It was also very endearing to learn of Jack's connection to Chicago. The ensemble is very grateful to Jack and his family, thank you so much for everything!
