I registered because it was free but there usually isn't a problem.

I didn't realize registration was required - how do we go about doing it?
I don't have a bus ticket yet, etc. but would like to make sure I can go.

Okay so -- I gather on Twitter people are trying to work out accomodations so if there's a need for anyone, might as well post information here. (I'm already set, this is a public service revive.)

I'd suggest either Thursday (opening night/reception/etc.) or Saturday due to this:
--
EMP Happy Hour, at Von, a short walk from NYU, Saturday 6:30-9:30. "Conference attendees 21 and older are invited to continue the conversation into the night at Von, http://www.vonbar.com/, located at 3 Bleecker Street between Lafayette and Bowery. Panelists will receive a wristband to enjoy cocktails at the bar -- venue capacity is limited, first-come first admitted."

We're hitting the big time -- Colbert actually made a couple of EMP Pop Conference jokes right out of the gate tonight, I gather!
Also, another formal event or two to note, these on the Friday night:
Libation NYC: A Global Soul Dance Party featuring DJ Ian FridayVenue: 218 Sullivan Street NY 10012Acclaimed music historian Tim Lawrence, author of Loves Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, calls New York dance party Libation "one of the few parties in New York where the sonically and socially progressive lineage that began with the Loft and carried on at parties such as the Gallery, the Paradise Garage, the Underground Network and Body & Soul lives on." Ian Friday, Manchildblack, and Afro Mosaic Soul have teamed up with this conference to present a special evening of one of Gotham's hottest underground dance parties: Libation (The Global Soul Experience). Resident mixologist Ian Friday (Global Soul Music) will spin a seamless set of deep, underground, soul-drenched music.21+ only, ID required; $15 all night; or $10 for EMP/IASPM-US participants w/ unique badge
Poor Baby Bree presents Ragtime, Ragmen, and Ragamuffins: Historic Songs of the Lower East SideVenue: Bleecker Street Theater (45 Bleecker)"Like being transported into another era. What an amazing performer!"- Laurie AndersonJoin singer/archivist Bree Benton (as Bowery waif "Poor Baby Bree”) and musical director/frequent EMP presenter Franklin Bruno for a revue of comic and pathetic songs dating from the 1870s-1910s, the golden age of New York vaudeville. Hear songs by Irving Berlin ("Yiddle, With Your Fiddle, Play Some Ragtime"), variety impresario Tony Pastor ("In the Bowery"), and Irish-American musical theater pioneers Harrigan & Hart ("The Market on Saturday Night"), and other rarely-performed numbers, reconstructed from original sheet music and songsters. With Franklin Bruno (piano), Karen Waltuch (viola), Jacob Garchik (tuba/trombone), and Nick Russo (banjo/mandolin).$8 at the door for Pop Conference/IASPM-US attendees ($12 otherwise). Please visit www.poorbabybree.com for more information and advance ticketing.
That said the thing I'm really up for is a full 17-member band performance from Escort at Brooklyn Bowl that evening at midnight.

Registered a while ago, still haven't gotten the update e-mail with details etc. Trying to plan when I should be busing down and so forth.
Does anyone know what time on Thursday the conference starts? Is it a "you should be there early Thursday morning" thing or does it not get properly started until the afternoon, etc.

and when can I say hi to you EMP gays?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 04:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm still waffling on ability to go. Couchsurfing with friends just got confirmed, so now it boils down to whether my summer job applications (due Friday) and other coursework that I promised myself would get done does get done.
