A Life of One’s Own - Ilana Simons at Think Tank 3 - NYC

Yesterday I really didn’t see anything much happening, Art wise, in NYC, but somehow, I felt there was something more going on - call it a “gut feeling“,  and I found out about an opening at Think Tank 3 which I did take some video of (see below):

Anyway, before I got to Think Tank 3 in Tribeca, I ended up having dinner in a Mexican Restaurant nearby, and the usual thing happened…. a total stranger came up to me, end speaking with me, and ending up knowing 4 of the same people I do…her name was Rachel.   My point being… had I just gone home, as I was planning to do… that meeting would have never happened.

And that brings me to wonder how many meetings that I could have had…that I missed, or how many I have because I’m willing to follow my gut more often.   I don’t think anyone really knows those answers for sure, I certainly don’t; but I trust my intuition and gut feelings will lead me to the right path and to be where I need to be, when I need to be there.

So, with that in mind, I went over to Think Tank 3 and found myself listening to Ilana Simons read from her new book called “A Life of One’s Own”  - A Guide to Better Living Through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf which I bought and got signed by Ilana.   I also had a glass of some free beer from a co-sponsor of the event that was very enjoyable.

And I read a couple of chapters of “A Life of One’s Own” on the way home.  I can almost swear I knew some of the people being written about….maybe it’s a memory from the past, or maybe it’s just good writing, I guess I’ll never know for sure. 

Video to come later.

  1. ok: so this is ilana. I’m crawling (admitted) and see you here. Hey: Thanks, so much. Thanks for this sweet post. I thought the night was made cool by the people there.

  2. Thanks for coming by the show and the post. Just one minor correction about the post. Think Tank 3 is located in the West Village and not Tribeca.

    Cheers, thanks, etc.

  3. […] Didn’t get a chance to write about it but I went over to see Ilana Simons read from her new book at Barnes and Nobles the other night; she was very warm to me and said she told all her friends about my earlier post on Ilana - A Life of One’s Own - Ilana Simons at Think Tank 3 - NYC. […]
