While enjoying a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the park, we ran across Thoth again. If you're not familiar with him, he's a Prayformer who regularly sets up underneath the terrace at the Bethesda fountain. He's been prayforming there for years and is one of those "only in NY" people you see around town. Our friend Rachelleb found out about him while she was still living here.
In 2002, a documentary about him won an Oscar. It doesn't seem to have changed him or his vision though, he's still out there day in and day out. Well, actually, Sunday is his last day in NY this summer. He's heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. So if you wanted to stop by, hurry.

Only in NY?
Thoth was a San Francisco fixture for many years - and my really nice Trekkie neighbor to boot.
We used to say "only in SF". Nice to see he's still doing his thing.
