[Sonic Youth 37]

I'm in on trying to meet them. I wimped out on trying to meet Blonde Redhead as they were going out to eat after the show.

I met Steve grabbing something from under his bus a couple of years ago. But that was in the afternoon as they were going in for soundcheck. You gotta get there early !! 6pm is evening..not mid-afternoon ! LOL

Show starts at what, 8pm, so I'll go linger about 6 actually. And parking is across the street, a bit behind the buildings and is free. It didn't appear to be a HUGE lot though, so hard to tell how easy a place will be.

what happened?

[screamingskull]

Lee was mean, well not mean, just brief. and he's short, also short.

It just wasn't how i imagined it would be.

[nicfit]

Uh, when I "meet" (if a brief talk after a show is what we're talking about) BRH they've always been friendly and nice. Kazu made strange faces while I talked with the guys. Simone is by far my fav.

edit: oh, you were talkin' bout sy.

Come on!, maybe he was busy or something.

I've met him a couple of times and each time he's been made of awesomeness.

And short? *shakes head*

[screamingskull]

HA HA, no, i am exaggerating it. I know, it wasn't as bad as when i met The Brian Jonestown Massacre, man that went badly.

But i was just a bit miffed, i mean he didn't know the trouble i had gone to, to go to those shows. But still, he really didn't care whatsoever.

I find that a lot with SY though.

Why what happened with BJM?

On a side note, heard about Mars Volta doing a gig in London?

yeah i gots ma tickets all ready!! got them before they went on sale in fact!!!

I'm sure i have told you about the BJM show before, haven't i???

Well if not, it was 2004? i think? and me and a friend of mine went back stage after the show. I left after a little while as Anton was totally wasted and acting like a twat, like he was going to hurt himself or someone else really badly at any minute. My friend stayed, i tried to get her to leave but she outright refused. And in the end she ended up sleeping with one of them, i think his name is Frankie. It ruined my opinion of them completely.

I saw them live again last year and booed them after every song, even though they were fabulous.

Haha maybe you did, but I forgot it seems. Well he seemed like a pleb. In fact he seemed like a pleb on DIG! not some tortured genius he want to be anyway.

As for Mars Volta, good on you.

"of them" as in "of this frankie and her" or "of the whole band"?

[_slavo_]

You guys have fun there. Socialize and have a drink with each other. It's always great to meet a fellow boardie!

By the way, I talked to Lee on a Text of Light show a couple of months ago. Well, mr. Greenlight did talk a lot more, but I exchanged a sentence or two with him as well.

Of her, as we have not been friends since. Of the whole band, as they let it happen, and were all acting like assholes that night. And especially of Frankie, he was like 40 something and she was 16.

[Moshe]

The former Velvet Underground frontman and notorious curmudgeon will be playing at The Calvin Theater in Northampton Sunday, April 20 with Sonic Youth frontman and NoHo resident Thurston Moore. Reed is embarking on a brief U.S. tour with Moore and, later, the rest of Sonic Youth before heading transatlantic to promote the recently released Julian Schnabel documentary "Lou Reed's Berlin," according to Pitchfork Media.
