Bela and the Rats–A Poem for International Women’s Day

March 8, 2023 By Julie Lomoe 2 Comments

Bela and the Rats     Ages ago, in 1966, I abandoned my first marriage  And moved downtown to a rat-infested loft   In lower Manhattan, on Broome Street.  Rent was cheap. The ruthless developer Robert Moses  Wanted to ram an expressway through the heart   Of the historic cast iron district later known as SoHo.  Living in… [Read More]

The Most Over-Hyped Time of the Year

December 24, 2020 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

Once again, I’m reposting this oldie but goodie. It’s Christmas Eve, and like many of you, I can’t wait to bid 2020 goodbye and good riddance. Marooned at home with my husband, my dog and my cat, I’ve been surprisingly cheerful all year, but I haven’t really gotten into the Christmas spirit. But for old… [Read More]

It’s Spring, and my muse has awakened!

March 20, 2020 By Julie Lomoe 1 Comment

Spring arrived officially last night, March 19th, at 11:50 pm EST, the earliest vernal equinox in 124 years. Don’t ask me why. I tried looking it up in the Farmer’s Almanac, but the explanation was utterly inscrutable—I’ve never been strong on science. But today, the first full day of Spring, feels happily auspicious. Walking my… [Read More]

Woodstock 1969, Part II: Stuck in the muck for 16 straight hours of music

August 17, 2019 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

The cliff hanger ending of the first post in my 1969 Woodstock Festival saga left me standing next to my paintings at the art show on the hilltop a couple of hundred yards from the stage, early on Friday evening. Country Joe McDonald was playing by then, and I’d just come face to face with… [Read More]

Woodstock 1969: I was there with my paintings. Now if only I could prove it!

June 12, 2019 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

  I published the following blog post in August, 2009, around the time of the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. Ten years later, on the 50th Anniversary, I still need to prove I was there. Yes, there was actually an art show! Would you believe I won second prize in the… [Read More]
