I figured that out by now, but I was so nervous last night that I suffered from some sort of brain malfunction, hehehe.

So, for this amount of money do you think we're going to get a 'special guest' as the opener?

puddlesplasher · 05.02.2009, 09:16 AM

I just a search for a friend of mine, who's considering going to the show, and now that the pre-sales have ended, I'm finding much better seats than the ones all of us got. This is ridiculous!!!

I am excited for the uptown show, for I live 30 blocks north, in Inwood, so i can even walk to and from the show!! Thx SY for playing ever so close to my home!!!
I hear the sound there is very nice. I am also pleased with the seating, for I am in my late 30's now, still like to dance, but also like to chill sometimes. I was lucky enough to get an aisle seat in Row P, Orchestra.

Saw Neil Young here a year ago last winter. The place is ORNATE. Have you ever been to the Beacon? It makes the Beacon look like CBGB's bathroom. The ceiling is mosaic tile work that was put up by Monks in the 1600's

The lobby is undersized for the size of the venue and if the show is sold out you'll notice the bump and grind trying to get to your section.

Yeah, and that's all well and good for acts like Neil Young (I think he did the half-acoustic/half-electric set there), but SY? Iunno. It just doesn't look like too fitting of a venue for them.

Massey Hall in Toronto is pretty classy too.

Most of the venues i recognize (the Bijou in Knoxville the Variety in atlanta vic in chi town and this place) are pretty nice theaters.

I remember the Variety actually had an attendant (old black guy) in the bathroom selling things like cologne and handing people towels last time i saw SY there (He was joining the fans in bitching about Harry pussy's set)

Sonik played the Roxy in Atlanta '95 with Harry Pussy opening, the Variety is a little grittier and has no bathroom attendent

I saw a few shows there, including the Neil Young gig where the FDNY delayed the show for about 2 hours due to fire safety issues or so they claimed....

be careful if you're using the subway on the way back, look out for undercover police in the station. I saw people getting detained for going in through the emergency exit doors after every concert. It's a bad situation because they have only one or two turnstiles on the south side of the station and the line to go in gets very long, so of course people go in through the emergency exit doors and get busted. Use the north side entrance instead.

The Roxy is really nice and rundown, and they still have a bathroom attendent.
