FOT Night Out!!!!

[Omar]

I already booked a room at the Flatotel and tickets via Jet Blue. Yay!!

Also, I have tickets to The Slits/Apes/tons of other bands show, the Merge showcase (yay, Portastatic!), the Thrill Jockey showcase (hooray, Bobby Conn), the Decemberists/Alasdair Roberts show, Grey Gardens: The Musical, and Evil Dead I and II: The Musical. YAY!

Per Fangoria:

"Bruce Campbell will be making special appearances at the show’s first two regular performances, Wednesday, November 1 and Thursday, November 2 at 8 p.m. The actor will attend the shows and take questions from the audience as part of the Stages' "Talk Back" sessions."

SCORE! I have tickets to the Nov. 2nd show. Unfortunately, it may or may not conflict with the Thrill Jockey CMJ showcase, which will probably not have advance tickets. They haven't announced the start time for that show. Maybe it'll be an early one? God, I really, really, really want to see Bobby Conn, and my desire to see Califone only merits one modifier, so I guess I really want to see Califone. The other bands I could not give a fig about. I hope that's the play order. That way, there's a good chance I might be able to drop by and catch the only two acts I want to see. WOO.

Secret: I have two extra tickets to a Friday night performance at 11 of Evil Dead. The first person who promises to sing Porcupine Pie at Winnie's and/or with the Super Karaoke Fun Time Band (if they're appearing at this year's record fair, that is) and follows through will get the pair of tickets for FREE. If you don't follow through, you still get the tickets for free, but I'll be really disappointed in you. And I might expect compensatory candy.

[Jason]

Those tickets are now mine.

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

I'll race you, Jason. It's the first person to promise AND follow through.

[Jason]

You wanna go together?
We can hold hands like a pair of gays and nobody won't say nothing 'cause it's New York city baby!

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

I just realised something. If the show is on the second, but we're all meeting on the 3rd, how ARE we supposed to follow through?

[Laurie]

The extra tickets I have is for the November 3rd show, not the November 2nd show. The meet-up is on November 4th. Now, we cJason, you can share the tix with T. Rox, but I am expecting a "Porcupine Duet," and maybe also a "Pizza Party" duet. We can meet up somewhere at the Record Fair. I'll give you guys my cell phone number.

[Jason]

 
I'm not coming to the US now.

[Laurie]

Don't kid around like that. Someone might take you seriously!

[Jason]

Ok, I am coming now.

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

Jason: easily swayed.

[Jason]

Ok kids.

The list now stands as -

Myself.
Megan.
B_Buster
Stan.
Laurie.
Chris L.
Emilyrides.
Spacebootz.
Kick the Bobo.
T-Rocks.
Paycheck and the delightful Mrs Paycheck.

So maybe also Dan B, I'm assuming Purple Shirt is coming and Petey may come for some food if we eat before Winnie's.
There's a slim chance that Tom will also make an appearance.

Now as you probably heard when he called in, I was attempting to get Spike on board as an extra special guest. Seeing as he can't make it should I attempt to get Captain Jack along? Please discuss this and express an opinion.
Also should eat before Winnie's?

Any latecomers?

[Laurie]

Well, it is karaoke. Do we really want to see Stevie Blue rear his ugly head?

Re: Food. YES.

I'll be searching Zagat over the next few days. As it is, the only places I know I want to visit are Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Room 4 Dessert. Any tips? Please don't say Two Boots Pizza.

[Megan]

This restaurant is right around the corner from Winnie's

It's not fancy-schmancy, but the food is good, and they should be able to accomodate us all.

Also, if Winnie's is too crowded, a friend suggested this place as an alternative in the neighborhood: http://www.yellobarnyc.com/index.html

You are going to have such a good time.  And I am so jealous.
