i was waiting for the reaction. thurston told morbs&co to stop being morons at a WFMU-sponsored event

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

waht

is Wingate Field as pleasant a venue as Asser Levy?

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).
