I’m all trembly right now. I have always wanted to go to the all-day Bloomsday celebration – created by Isaiah Sheffer – held at the Symphony Space <\/a>– I’ve been hearing about it for years. Frank McCourt describes the vibe there<\/a>. Another excerpt, describing the excitement<\/a>. One of the things I am MOST excited about is to hear Fionnula Flanagan <\/a>read Molly Bloom’s monologue – she does it every year, it closes the entire event – and apparently it takes her 3 hours to get through it. I’M SO EXCITED THAT I AM GOING TO BE THERE TO … PARTICIPATE AND EXPERIENCE IT. (Mental Multivitamin discusses seeing a video of Flanagan doing the Molly monologue here … goosebumps<\/a>.) Flanagan talks a bit about her connections with Joyce here<\/a>. The Bloomsday celebration at Symphony Space is a yearly event – and I am sooo excited that I stopped the “oh, someday <\/i>I’ll go to that” and just bought a ticket. Duh. It was 30 bucks. I’m going to be there from noon until midnight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I feel voraciously excited about this!! I’m almost nervous<\/i>. Something I have ALWAYS wanted to do. I’ll be there – at 11 am (it’s general seating … so dammit I want to get a good seat!) – with book in hand. Ready for the long LONG day ahead – but what a group event, what communal spirit – what insane geekery!<\/p>\n

Can’t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
