Better late than never

I feel like such a heel, as I meant to post a link to the website for The Run, a documentary about the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run, on Friday afternoon so that you would all go up to the New-York Historical Society that night and watch it. But I forgot. Shit.

In a town where the kind of dog you have can be political no matter where you are, this particular dog run is like the Gaza Strip. (See here.) Class struggle as evinced by pooches. You get the picture.

Still, it's one of my favorite dog runs. I go there some weekends and stand outside the gates for probably too long. Like a pedophile casing a playground. Getting pitying looks from the people and their dogs coming in and out. I, the dogless.

Go watch the trailer, and cross your fingers that they'll show The Run again sometime soon and that I won't forget again.
