Brooklyn Show 7/28
 

Is anyone going to the McCarren Pool show on 7/28?
I have to come solo because my hubby is otherwise occupied that day and I'm looking to meet up with some other SY fans if possible.
One of my goals in life is to meet Thurston and have my pic taken with him. Maybe we can work on this together? :D
Either msg me here or email me if you're interested.
In case it matters, I'm female, 28 years old, from PA and relatively sane. No criminal record. :p
Thanks, kids!

i went to last years sy mccarren pool show. after the show, i waited out back for the band to leave and got a pic with thurston. i might be up for doing that again.

:-( i'll be three days out of nyc.

folks just keep on rubbing this one in.

I'll be there but not sqqqqqqquare.

i will be there. maybe thurston will invite everyone to the after party like he did last year. ive never seen anyone ask him for a pic or an autograph though, i dont think thats considered cool...

i will also be there.

i've seen numerous folks approach thurston for pics and/or autographs,
myself included. in my experience, both personal and witnessed, he was
very gracious about it all.

i'll probably go, i'm going to be in brooklyn around those days.

i really want to try to meet the band or anyone. im fucking excited for this gig

thurston's always been nice and willing to pose for a pic.

they are the nicest band i have ever met.

so while all these people are in NYC, is anyone going to go and check out john zorn with ikue mori and a bunch of other cats at the stone on the 22nd (of july, that is)?

its cool, im just jealous cause i dont have a camera....

but, more than a pic, lets hope for another after party with a jam session thrown in...

I'm coming from Boston alone but will be in NYC by 11:00am. I've been a huge fan since 92. I've seen them about 15 times and have been lucky the last 2 shows to meet them. The first time was before the CBGB's show last year when I was walking down Bleeker St. and Thurston walked right into me. I shook his hand and wished him well on the show that night. Probably one of the best days of my life. But then I was in Providence ealier this year to see them and I went to a bar across the street. The second I opened the door I saw Kim staring at me cause my mouth dropped. It was the whole band eating before the show. I stood on the side to let them eat in peace but told their waitress that I'd pay for their dinner. Then they invited for me to join them and I did. Talked for a good 15 minutes to all of them before they left for the show. Got some great pics with them and they even thanked me during the show because I was up front in the middle. Great people all of them. Even got Kim's bass pick after. So I've been lucky and plan on meeting them before the show somehow. I'm male 37(but look 26) with no police record. I'm sure you've gotten a ton of offers. But I'll have fun no matter what.

i'll probably go to this too.

i'll be there, coming up from philly.
I have met thurston a couple of times, nice cat.
At a show like this though, good luck to you on meeting him. (I met him at small venues)
My buddy and I will be touring the Brooklyn bars with the best beers before hand.

I just saw ikue mori last friday at Issue. Sounds like a good show and a good cause: http://www.thestonenyc.com/calendar.php?month=1

there's a good chance i'm going to have to sell my tickets for this show. anyone interested, please let me know.

also, anyone coming in friday the 27th, my band is playing at the pussycat lounge in lower manhattan at 11. $10 - it's a mostly metal night, though the first band is a clash tribute band. we're girls girls girls:

everyone else- hey, i'm looking at hotels. if anyone can give me an idea of what it's like getting from the upper west side of manhattan to brooklyn please send me a pm.

getting from manhattan to brooklyn?

subway.

i will never name my child danielle, sorry. as awesome as you are.

well yeah, but which ones to take and etc. we barely have a working bus system here, dear. i know shit about public transportation.

ohh sorry, i'm too used to it, subways i mean.

subway site with map: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm

directions from the venue site: http://www.mccarrenpark.com/directions.html


hope this helps.

dont worry about it so far in advance, theres couple of ways of getting there by subway, but since theres always track work on the weekends, you wont know the best way until you get here. basically its g train and a short walk, or the l train and a little longer walk. check the subway map at mta web site, or you can pick one up for free once you get here.

ahhh. thank you both.

just browse them and start getting your head around the route, when you get there, you can finally see how it works and everything.

people will have to recognize me because i'm awful recognizing people, especially when i know i'm very likely to run into them, i usually see the people's faces in everyone i see.

The pool is fucking huge, meet by the beerline or something. You might not ever find each other if you dont pick a physical location within.

who's up for beerline meeting? i'm easy to find.

yeah, i'm there, the beerline.

black band shirt, tennis shoes, i think i'll have chin long hair then, probably shorts.

probably deerhoof shirt, jeans, yelling "holy shit sonic fucking youth".. maybe dark red hair. not sure.

hahahaha "holy shit sonic fucking youth"

i'll probably be yelling "I OPENED FOR SONIC YOUTH!!!"...no not really.

ohh probably cigarrette in hand, depends...also beer but last time i had u.s. wasn't a very pleasant experience, this time i'm getting a bud or something like that instead of the dog piss you guys pass for dark beer.

i'll either have my useless wallet or have my arms flapping around.
