Early March Snow

Big snow storms in March for The Big Apple are unusual. As we know, any snowstorm in the last two winters is a rarity.

But, there is more and more evidence that a storm that formed in the Midwest moves closer to to the East Coast and the forecast of what impact that storm MAY have on us is still very uncertain.

We can expect scattered snow showers tonight, then a chance for flurries. Cloudy, with a low around 30. Northwest wind 9 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Today was "National Day of Unplugging," and chances are when you woke up this morning one of the very first things you did was reach for your I pad, smart phone, or sit down at your computer to check your in box e-mail messages, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.

Too many folks seem to spend much of their waking lives tethered to technology, but today was a chance to disconnect.

Recent surveys find that no-mobile-phobia causes panic in most, and that 58 percent of US can't live without our cell phones for more than an hour. Does this sound like you?

TONIGHT - The City Island Theater Group is pleased to open its 2013 season with the classic Tennessee Williams drama THE GLASS MENAGERIE.

This American masterpiece announced the presence of one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th Century. Williams’ semi-autobiographical heartbreaking yet often humorous memory play about a young struggling poet and his tenuous relationships with his overbearing mother and his fragile sister is an emotionally charged portrait of hope in 1930s St. Louis that is timeless in its ability to capture the imagination and hearts of audiences.

MOMA FILMS

Emmanuelle Demoris's Mafrouza Cycle
March 6–11
The Mafrouza cycle comprises five films shot by Emmanuelle Demoris over a two-year period in the neighborhood of the same name, a shantytown built by its inhabitants on the remains of a Greco-Roman necropolis in Alexandria, Egypt. The area has since been destroyed, but the film captures to a remarkable degree the very special people who lived here–their daily lives of struggle and happiness, and the special strength and heterogeneity of the community. The five films of the Mafrouza cycle will be screened once each in chronological order; each is an autonomous work that can be appreciated independent of the others.
MoMA Presents: Herbert Danska's Right On!
March 6–11
Described as "a conspiracy of ritual, street theater, soul music, and cinema," Right On! is a pioneering concert film, a compelling record of radical Black sentiment in 1960s America, and a precursor of the hip-hop revolution in musical culture. Shot guerilla-style on the streets and rooftops of lower Manhattan, it features the original Last Poets performing 28 numbers adapted from their legendary Concept-East Poetry appearance at New York's Paperback Theater in 1969. The film has rarely screened over the past 30 years, and this is the premiere run of MoMA's new restoration. Poets Felipe Luciano, David Nelson, and Amiri Baraka will be present for a post-screening discussion.
