Title: Are any of you fine people going to the NYC Ted Leo show 4/9?
Post by: laura from brooklyn on April 07, 2010, 12:42:37 AM: I'd be amenable to a FOT meetup beforehand, maybe at Old Town?

Tickets are still available: http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/416408

Post by: laura from brooklyn on April 08, 2010, 10:29:53 PM: Awesome! Well, I'm definitely going.

Let's meet up at 119 Bar? (http://www.yelp.com/biz/119-bar-new-york-2) I've only been there incidentally, on my way to somewhere else, but it seems OK, and cheaper and less crowded than Old Town.

Shall we say 7 pm? I'll be the short blonde with glasses that answers to "laura from brooklyn."

This sounds good. I am not always opposed to loud and crowded... but Old Town is douche-bag loud and crowded.

I will be playing the part of the big 6 foot woman w/dark brown hair.

Post by: joe on April 09, 2010, 10:05:14 AM: This sounds good to me. I'll be the tall, skinny, pale guy with glasses. That should narrow it down, right?

All right!

I listened to Brutalist Bricks on the subway today ... and as it turned out there was some kind of >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( with a stalled train ahead of mine, so I heard the whole thing.

This is going to be as good as Spidermin 2.

Post by: Chris L on April 09, 2010, 01:22:40 PM: Probably not a surprise to anyone, but the DC show last night was great. Don't miss the Obits (I did miss Screaming Females; still unfamiliar with them).

Post by: joe on April 11, 2010, 02:25:12 AM: It was great meeting everyone before and at the show! If anyone's interested in a recording of the show, there's one up at http://www.nyctaper.com/. I haven't listened to it yet, but nyctaper always does good work.

Post by: Christina on April 11, 2010, 09:17:24 AM: Good to meet you and Laura as well! Also good to see MC Steinberg & his friend Darren (some of you guys will remember him as the dude w/the sparkly dolphin shirt on at the Gathering of the FOT). And Pete, and Mike and Therese, and Scratchbomb and and and.

The show was great too. Also someone shouted for Ted to do "Chain Fight Tonight" but he could only remember the line "there's gonna be a chain fight tonight".
