The Rapture are playing for free at Amoeba records in Hollywood on Wednesday!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 03:31 (twenty years ago) link

But Phil, all of those bands suck...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 03:40 (twenty years ago) link

Soviet is not bad at all. But I'm not going to go to that show! Phil come to our party instead.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 03:42 (twenty years ago) link

But Ally, have you seen them in person, in concert, on Halloween, while you are biding your time for Stereo Total? They are a band that is better enjoyed on the CD long player.

if there's gonna be a brunch, i think that i can show up for that.

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 03:59 (twenty years ago) link

for brunch, I think I'll be feeling a place with Mimosa's and free bread!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:05 (twenty years ago) link

3 free mimosas or bloody mary's with brunch at essex!

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:11 (twenty years ago) link

THREE?????????????????????????????????????????????? I'M SO THERE WTF!!

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

i'll be at cmj thurs -- there's a secret guest that nite that some of you popsters might be interested in...

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

I would really like to see Enon and Rapture. Rapture did a good show in DC and I really like me some Enon. ARGH. But frankly I'm down for whatever, you know me holmes.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:30 (twenty years ago) link

In full disclosure let me say that the food, though tasty, arrives cold. However, 3 drinks included with a $12 brunch...not too shabby...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:35 (twenty years ago) link

Thursday night DFA/Output showcase at the Tribeca Grand Hotel!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:36 (twenty years ago) link

ALSO, I'll be holding a brunch residency at the Essex.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:36 (twenty years ago) link

(Geeta: Is it David Bowie?) Oh DFA yawn... Please promise me there will be no talk of music at this FAP.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

Essex is very crowded so don't forget to make reservations.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:41 (twenty years ago) link

haha i wish it wz bowie!! think initials b and s

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:41 (twenty years ago) link

Belle and Sebastian? What is the original show you are seeing, anyway?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:44 (twenty years ago) link

dude:

Indulge your inner lush at this lofty Lower East Side restaurant whose all-weekend $12 brunch special includes unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, or horseradish-heavy Bloody Marys.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:47 (twenty years ago) link

nb "unlimited"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:48 (twenty years ago) link

Sorry Spence, used to be unlimited, now it's down to three...get there soon before they cut you off all together...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:48 (twenty years ago) link

Bob Segar?

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 11:20 (twenty years ago) link

Dammit!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 11:23 (twenty years ago) link

I think its Bob Saget.

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 11:24 (twenty years ago) link

Please promise me there will be no talk of music at this FAP.

Maybe people who want to see terrible things like the Rapture can go do that and then meet us afterwards? Like we can promise to be at a place until X time that seems reasonable and then once they get there potentially move on? Though this creates the problem of, for example,that night we met up at Hi-Fi and it was shit and we left within ten minutes.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 12:29 (twenty years ago) link

Belle & Sebastian? WHEN? WHERE? EATMEALLY!

Though, not like they aren't playing again 2 dates in November, but still!

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:29 (twenty years ago) link

Eat Meally?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:34 (twenty years ago) link

I just don't like B&S! But I'm in a horrible mood today and don't much like anything?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

@ the rough trade showcase phil!

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:34 (twenty years ago) link

SPENCER AND MATOS (AND STERLING?): WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO VIS A VIS SATURDAY NIGHT? That is, to me, first and foremost important. Do you all want to go to a show or do you want to drink? Please no "Whatever you guys want to do" answers.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

Shows are too taste-specific. I think there should be a place we can all agree to meet for drinks after any and all shows would be over. That way the drinkers can get saucy, while the rockers rock out and then it can all come together in a big fun party type thing.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:26 (twenty years ago) link

Is jess coming back into town for this?

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

I hope so, bnw.

Spencer, I agree with your point of view but didn't want to hammer the point around like a FAP Nazi. So do we pick Botanica? Or do you think it is too small? And by "you" I mean the NYC crew who has been there, not specifically Mr. Chow. Suggestions are welcome at this crucial juncture.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

I hope Jess comes out too!

Also, if Botanica is central and cool then that should be that. The drinkers can be sure to be there from 11 to 1? and then those that were out at shows can swing by.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:42 (twenty years ago) link

Botanica can get pretty crowded. But so can everywhere. Whatever you guys want to do is fine by me. ;-)

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

Hahahaha "central". It's not difficult to get to IIRC. I'm sure all of these shows everyone is going to are downtown.

I'm sure no one would object to hanging and drinking til everyone shows up, we're a bunch of drunks. I'm just concerned about space though, it can get crowded on weekends. OK so. SATURDAY @ BOTANICA @ around 10 or 11PM to start until whenever everyone shows up??

Hahaha we should just fucking go to Barcode and get it over with!!!

HAHAHAHA OR THE MAGICIAN!!!

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:47 (twenty years ago) link

Where are we going Friday? I have non-NYC plans on Saturday night, and do not want to miss Spencer and Matos.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

Saturday night seems pretty wide open to me. I anticipate the afternoon (haha "morning") will be taken up w/non-ILx activity, and Friday night I am going to LOTS of shows. So basically I am happy to piggyback on whatever Spencer-related activities are planned.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

Au contraire! I am piggybacking on your activities, Matos!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 17:59 (twenty years ago) link

You guys are making this thread all gay.

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:03 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, this conversation is putting some really interesting images in my mind. Please stop using the words "I", "am", and "piggybacking" in conjunction with each other if you want me to keep a straight face at this FAP.

(xpost with bnw)

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

my plans -> thursday dfa/output nite w/ lauren & aaron
friday -> ghostly party w/ aaron
saturday afternoon -> hella @ pianos, saturday night -> maybe rapture, maybe another show, girlfriend's having a party -> i.e. could be down for hanging depending on how everything else works out

my job, mary, is as an editor at flavorpill (flavorpill.net). thanx for asking!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:05 (twenty years ago) link

I know Botanica can get crowded (as everyplace in the city Sat.) so a few other suggestions on the table are The Hole and The Coral Room. Another option would be for some people to get there early and reserve seats, though I cannot in good faith suggest this as I pretty much know I wouldn't be able to get there early.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:10 (twenty years ago) link

Cool job, Y. Ms. Redwell turned me onto flavorpill. (Did you already start? There was something in it last week that sounded very ILM.)

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:11 (twenty years ago) link

i started last week. i have stuff in the issue going out today. i get to work with our hero p. sherburne!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:15 (twenty years ago) link

yay yanc3y!

i'm gonna hit the dfa party after the cmj showcase at bowery, most likely

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:22 (twenty years ago) link

what showcase is that? rough trade? i'm sposed to go to that too. (awww... let's be pals!)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:25 (twenty years ago) link

So Yanc3y, are you planning on sticking your cock into Aaron when you're done with Vick? WTF dude? You see Aaron more than you see the rest of us for serious, is that necessary to point out every chance you get? WHY DON'T YOU MARRY HIM? (j/k etc etc...MAYBE)

Matos, which shows you going to Fri? Still going to AWK/JJ?

― allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:26 (twenty years ago) link

yes, first Broken Social Scene (a friend wants to go), then probably AWK/JJ, then Chemical Bros. at Centrofly, then Hopper PR afterparty most likely.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:28 (twenty years ago) link

originally planned to go to the Magician Sat nite for a friend from Seattle's b-day party but she had to cancel her trip. so you are all spared the indignity of going to that place again (even thought it ahem RULES).

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:29 (twenty years ago) link

SCENESTERS!
