Swelter
At last night’s Bushwick roof party/show it was cool enough for a jacket. At this afternoon’s Fort Greene roof party/show it will be too hot for clothing. I blame Michael Crichton, though the awfulness of the Andromeda Strain mini-series (which knocks Sphere out of the top slot on my list of worst Crichton adaptations) almost makes me pity him.
