I'm coming to NYC -- FOR REAL this time -- this week. 2 vacation days + long weekend == devil's romper room

I should be in NYC either wednesday or thursday night, depending on the viability of tentative valentine's smooching plans in connecticut.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost

not a real option as I don't drive, and S'field is smack btwn my St. Loo-to-Chi plan

elmo, Fridays are free 4-8pm at MoMA, when it's definitely worth it (except for the mobs I suppose).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

haven't heard it yet, pete.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

first side is pretty righteous i think

― 69 (pete), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

also: i would get fit-shaced with all this noizers

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

tehreza might be having some sunday day things goin' on, too. like, bassetball brunch again. i think this week is pistons v. bulls.

Morbius, are there any gay bars you recommend? I never really went while living in NY so I never found any place that wasn't full of wax faggot mannequins.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

no, they're all still like that.

srly, I like the one in Williamsburg. and the Phoenix on e 13th if it wasn't so packed on weekends.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

we can go to "that one"

― jw (ex machina), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

cool, well maybe I'll check out the phoenix, i don't think my possible crashpad (gabe's place) in the e village is far from there.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Doug Aitken's "sleepwalkers" at Moma can suck a dick, though. Worst shit I've seen in a while and reason enough to stay away.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

the one in williamsburg = metropolitan?

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:52 (seventeen years ago) link

yes. alas it doesn't hv New Wave night this week! I like the guy who spins on Thurs (2 for 1 beer too).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 February 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Remember the Hall of Presidents?
Yeah! What did he say?
Welcome to the Hall of Presidents.

andrew i could meet you at like 545 or 6 for brief moma-ing after work on friday! i've never been! i think it is close to teh job.

also: sadly, there is no basketball on tv this sunday. bulls-pistons and cavs-heat is sunday the 25th. i don't know why they are skipping a week. predisent's day maybe??? but... y'all can come over and watch movies or something if you want! also dallas-houston is thursday night on tnt if anyone wants to watch at bar with me.

― tehresa (tehresa), Monday, 12 February 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

hey I get out work at 3 Friday, perhaps I will get there. (For REAL fun, MoMA is showing a doc on Chinese sweatshops at 8:15.)

Also, Kiki & Herb at Joe's Pub Sunday at 11:30. But I'd only urge that if you've never seen them.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

new show at the moma...cant think of dudes name...looks interesting, but if you have been to moma in the past, its not worth the monies. also, if you have a fear of heights similar to mine, there are some new architectural details that make it less than fun.

― bb (bbia), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i keep wanting to see the kiki & herb but i can not make myself get out for 11:30 sunday shows (

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

never seen kiki & herb, not sure if i want to?

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 05:58 (seventeen years ago) link

haha

also Justin Bond is doing a Monday night "talk show" onstage at Joe's Monday nights. This week, Debbie Harry & John Cameron Mitchell. God only knows.

v-day smooching plans scuttled due to inclement road conditions; balls to ye, winter

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:50 (seventeen years ago) link

as Groucho said "I'm sure you'll find someone just as good."

Have you HEARD any K&H, elmo?
repertoire:

I'd be up for a '60s UK pop doc EXCEPT the LedZep concert!

jw let me know the score on possible bar trawl by Sat nite.

tehresa, it's NBA All-Star breakage.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I luuhuuuhuuve Kiki and Herb but there are definitely moments in their routine when I kind of wish it was already over and I could just remember it fondly. Maybe they've tightened [their act] up over the years? That would be good. Still, even K&H in the rough was totally worthwhile, you should all go....when it isn't at midnight on a Sunday. Except for this weekend, which is THREE DAYS LONG.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link

K & H did less than 2 hrs in Nov, much better than 3.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

(also, Kiki will undoubtedly be workin' A*N*S death material)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

anus death material? isn't that a band?

― a mediocre black-and-white cookie in a cellophane wrapper (hanks1ockli), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

dunno, but K&H do an Anal Cunt cover

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Which song?

― jw (ex machina), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i may be up for k&h, email if you want to coordinate

doing the moma thing today & shopping

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

jw, song is "You're Ugly"

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link
