Summerstage tidbits

more Prospect

im pretty sure all those Summerstage shows are Big Bucks ones, you goddamn elitist

you mean in the second link? I already have my exorbitant Sheryl Crow tix, and you're surely right about the CSN show, but I'm guessing Mark Knopfler will be available to peasants too :D

i missed the "dire straits" joke :(

the Durian Durian show is $$$ too

hey, you're right, morbs, the Knopfler show is moolah as well, as is the Sonny Rollins wtf. I guess they're paying for that Sonic Youth/Feelies show?

Wild Magnolias at Madison Square Park 6/7

BV has a few more Prospects

mine is bigger than yours, morbs!

So who's the "legend" performing in Brooklyn on 7/21? 'Retha is in A.C. 7/25. Sly doesn't seem to be touring.

the only opera singer that counts is rené pape, bitchez

Anyone going to the non-free Devo?

I think you're reading 'legend' a lot more narrowly than they are

mookie i dare you to watch natalie dessay perform live and then make that statement.

this concert was kind of awesome and sooooo many people. it was really great to see that many people out for opera stuff! i have decided i don't really like angela gheorgiu.

I'm starting to suspect you're more a liar than an idiot.

waht

is Wingate Field as pleasant a venue as Asser Levy?

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/08/raphael_saadiq.html

so it's not Yo La Tengo. that should be a... fun bill.

not really summer "show" and not really free but i've got an extra comp: anyone want to see vertical rep's tales of hoffman @ red hook pier on sunday evening?

i vaguely wanna see that, but my daytime plans probably prohibit it

yeah my companion is out bc she has to do a bridal shower in westchester.

it's not til 8, but red hook is a bitch to get to on a sunday!

There's a bus straight from my Bloody Mary bar!

but I've already seen the Tales of Hoffmann movie.

yeah but this is ON A BARGE!!!!

also i used to sing the barcarolle duet lolz.

bump

did you find someone to go with?

my friend was checking but i actually think i have to skip it now. way too much to get done before tomorrow to interrupt it w/ getting to red hook by 8pm! i'm sad - i really wanted to see it (even though reviews were not great).
