meeting superstars makes me nervous.

do i have to call your people & get an access badge?

Try Other Music for your Thurston ticket.

I've no idea if they'll "hold" tickets if you ring and ask them, but it could be worth a try. It'll give you an excuse to go there and browse too.

I'd recommend just checking a show at The Stone at random, you may not embrace it but it will certainly be interesting. Of the shows you listed I 've seen these performers; Rothenberg and Courvoiseier would probably be the more traditional sound, but she's quite vigourous in her playing. I saw Hirsch with Lee once and she's just plain weird!

Hang out with Lemmy Caution!

[drrrtyboots]

T Moore at Maxwell's for sure.

[!@#$%!]

thanks to all who posted, turns out work got suppa-tough and we had little time to hang out-- we accomplished 2 things only in the realm of "fun":

1) arrive late to the knitting factory to see circle, miss oneida completely, and catch only 2 songs plus th encore of circle's set.

2) eat kebab & that place in macdougal street-- truly awesome, especially after some drinkies.

the rest was work & sweat & junk food & little sleep. but it was like a vacation, exciting to work in new york, and the 6-day workout was great.

[Everyneurotic]

circle and kebab, what more can you ask for?

[gmku]

Good night...
