it'll be interesting to see if the non-Brooklyn crowd can find their way to Greenpoint (with the L train down).

It'll be interesting for sure. Academy Records literally sharing a wall with the space- this should work out well for them.
― Evan, Monday, 27 April 2015 19:46 (eight years ago) link
Should be fine as long as the G train is running. Not really that confusing.
― kwhitehead, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link
Nah, but it still has the potential to affect the total turnout.
― Evan, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
Possibly but I have a feeling it's gonna be pretty packed.

Just got back. Very nice space, light and airy, unlike previous venues. Very dismayed at the jacked up prices though.

after admission, i spent $5.

I went late Sunday and scooped up a couple of cheap things. Missed James Chance, but did see Fat White Family's singer's head damn near explode.

bright phoebus was my big splurge. i bought it from a friend so i got a little money off but..
― ian, Monday, 2 May 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link

Was anyone else there on Friday?
― Evan, Monday, 2 May 2016 17:59 (seven years ago) link
Went on Sunday. Stopped for a cup of coffee up the street from the venue before I went in. Once I got inside I realized I couldn't find the change for my coffee (I had paid with a $20.00 bill.) So I hustled back to the coffee shop (still didn't find the $) and it was raining so hard that the stamp on my hand washed off so I had to beg for re-entry. Stressful few minutes. Once I got my shit together it was a pretty great show. Found some good deals (U-Roy, Bill Withers & a few more.) I have to make sure to be less high next year.
