Hey all NYC area FoTs. I'm heading down there Friday afternoon until Sunday night and while I imagine I'll be able to find stuff to do with my brother and a friend, just wanted to know if there were any good shows/comedy/whatever events I should be on the lookout for while there? Or just cool places to visit? I'm planning on going to the James Jean exhibit at the Jonathan LeVine gallery Saturday but that's about it. So I'd gladly take any suggestions if you have any! Thanks!

I never tire of the Neuegalerie (http://www.neuegalerie.org/). I go there every time. Unfortunately, it looks like they're in special exhibition limbo. The Kubin exhibit, which just came down a few days ago apparently, was really impressive. The next one doesn't go up 'til late February.
If you haven't been, though, they have some really wonderful stuff if you're into early twentieth century German and Austrian art and design. They have some spectacular Schiele and Klimt paintings on display as well as gorgeous silverware and such from Joseph Hoffman. It's worth checking out.

I was going to go to this. (http://www.nycomiccon.com/App/homepage.cfm?moduleid=2577&appname=100453) It's always fun.

Blank Dogs, Wavves, and Nodzzz are playing some loft in Manhattan on Saturday night. I'm probably going to that.

If you want passes to MoMA, drop me a PM. The special exhibitions are in-between right now but there's a few fun things to see. That being said, during the weekends the place can be a total clusterflock (and don't go near the place on Friday nights when it's free unless you like mosh pits). Neuegalerie is a lot more manageable from a crowd perspective, and the building itself is just awesome, and the collection is great.

Gah I'm really wishing I could go down Thursday night so I can have the entirety of Friday in the city (so much to do so little time in like, 36 hours!)...perhaps a talk with my boss is in order...

Yes this seems to be the big event I'd like to go to, as well. And it's only 10 bucks. Well worth it.

Wait, where exactly is that Nodzzz show? The myspace just says "Somewhere on the Island of Manhattan."
Anybody know?

Is it at that rich person's loft? Less Artists, More Condos?

Oh god, it was just a guess. What do I win?

There's also a show in Hoboken on Friday with Gentleman Jesse and his Men and Paul Collins' Beat. I can't miss that.
One confusing thing is that this girl is one of the opening acts: http://www.myspace.com/lights I don't mean to criticize whoever booked this show, but what the fuck.

Oh jeepers, glad you enjoyed the "tweets!" It was a good time, definitely! While I'm thinking of moving down there all the stuff I did really tuckered me out and I kept thinking "how do people LIVE down here?" then I realized that if I lived here there would still be days I just lounge at my apartment and, y'know, do regular people stuff and not the touristy stuff all the time.
