yeah, i don't love sitting outside in this weather.

god this weather.

yeah, you moved here just in time for the worst part of the year.i made the mistake of taking the train from Broadway/Lafayette yesterday -- forgot how fucking brutal that station is. Stagnant air, stinky trash, dripping sweat, baking. Gross shit!
I think Friday night, after a few hours of drinkin', I'm gonna join Helen and Pat and go see our friends WHITE OUT play at The Stone, and anyone who wants to join is welcome. Free jazz/noise show, woohoo. That place is also really hot tho. Literally hot. Like the subway.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 14:48 (ten years ago) link
can we do earlyish on friday, or at least start earlyish?
― max, Wednesday, 26 June 2013 14:53 (ten years ago) link
I'll miss you, Ian, but jazz/noise + heat is my worst hell. See you for the early part!
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:00 (ten years ago) link
I mean I would like to go w you three but I just can't.
i understand laurel. i know you hate the avant-garde in music. ;)but yes, we will have drinks. H&P may or may not join us for that too, depending on how late their stay at work.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link
and yeah i would love to start at like 6? or earlier even, but i understand some of you have desk jobs or w/e
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:14 (ten years ago) link
i've never been to the Stone but it sounds like the most joyless place to see shows from what people describe
― i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:14 (ten years ago) link
I'll be there earlier to join you in day-drinking xp
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:16 (ten years ago) link
the stone is very barren and small, no bar, weak a/c that they turn off during quiet performances (can't really fault them for this tbh), but lots of great people play there. and there are chairs, which is cool, cuz i love sitting down.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:18 (ten years ago) link
yeah I'd probably like it fine, I mean I've enjoyed myself at all kinds of bone-dry 'avant' shows.
― i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link
6 is good for me. I'm basically free from early afternoon if anyone wants to meet more like 4/5.
Where can I buy a really like like 10ft headphone mini jack extension cable?

nice to know some things never change. i always characterized the smell in bway/lafayette to myself as "hot yogurt"

worse than W4 St?
so this is at the Magician? will plan to go if I don't see the Mets.

White Out sounds good but anyone up for grabbing a pint and running off to Japanther (tentative).

BTW Morbz (or non-morbz) are there good rep cinemas I can check out, esp during daytimes?
― pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Thursday, 27 June 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link
you might wanna consult this
http://www.screenslate.com/
or the linked schedules for the Film Forum downtown, or the Film Society of Lincoln Center (or MoMA, where you can see a film for $10 if you don't wanna do the $25 general admission).

ooohh, tyvm. If I can get the hostel to hold my bags* I might get to Drunken Master 2 at 14:00

So it's the Magician, right? I might come by for a bit (depending on weather) if that's cool!
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 28 June 2013 04:43 (ten years ago) link
Sic I will bring mad men.
Which bar are we meeting at again?

our friends WHITE OUT play at The StoneSomebody told me it was Zeena Parkins week over there. Oh, I see.
Don't know if I can make any of this, have something else, but I will check threads for updates as the evening plays out.

Does anyone know anywhere nice and quiet and not hot i could meet a friend for lunch and a beer around penn station?
― caek, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:22 (ten years ago) link
there's this all in one place called ROAST TOWN that does everything off of 8th ave and 34th... they have an upstairs seating area w/ free wifi that doesn't get too crowded. you won't impress anybody by bringing them there though. i like their takeaway sushi
― 乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:26 (ten years ago) link
the upstairs area has no windows. it's dark, like a bar.
― 乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:28 (ten years ago) link
but it's not really a sitdown place, or a restaurant even. i'll defer to others
― 乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 14:40 (ten years ago) link
:D caek
(if you have Veep finale too, :D :D )
― pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Friday, 28 June 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link
there are a lot of restaurants on 9th ave in the 40s, might be a bit far tho
― 乒乓, Friday, 28 June 2013 15:02 (ten years ago) link
No veep sorry. You have something that can read the USB stick right?
Thanks for the penn suggestions dy
