I don't recall seeing any evidence at last year's NBC of people being required to prove their ages in order to get in, and I don't recall there being anything on the ticket or accompanying documentation saying that it was necessary to bring proof of your age. Unless you're a young-looking 17, I wouldn't worry about not being allowed in, and once you are in, just don't do anything especially dumb to bring attention to yourself. I'd suggest that you don't book through wegottickets, though, unless you have your own debit card to book with, as you may have to present the card that you booked with to get in.

That's close to what the Psychic Hearts solo set I saw was! It wasn't that long, but it was about double the song on the album, and that's all they played. It was 11 in the morning at this tiny record store called Rodeo Records in Ellensburg WA (SY was playing the Gorge that night opening for REM, which I also went to, but the solo set was the highlight of the experience.) Thurston was literally waking up playing his guitar. It was sooo good.

I've tried that at webster and they gave me a hard time for like 10 minutes. I was persistent though and got in. Fuck those bowery presents shows, garbage.

It's funny, because I think I saw them play in Seattle that year or the year after and some idiot dj from KNDD ("The End") came out to announce them and got booed off the stage. Which was great because they are a horrible "commercial alternative" station that has basically ignored Sonic Youth's records for their entire existence while paying to put "KNDD Presents" on practically every Sonic Youth show to come through the city. It was a joy to realize that Sonic Youth fans in general weren't falling for that bullshit.
