I'm a LVHRD member and am going to grab tickets to this today or tomorrow. Let me know if you want one, members can get tickets for $11 each - nonmembers $22. Dewar's and Colt 45 are sponsors, and drinks are free with ticket purchase. Location is txt'd to attendees the night of the party, but they are disclosing that it is in Williamsburg. Here's some more info from LVHRD...
DNCHRD III: VNYL There are those among us who categorically state, "I don't dance." You know them. I know them. While I won't suggest LVHRD is the cure for anything, I will say that this month we can do a bit of good for those reticent friends of yours who claim to have two left feet.
This month's event, Dewar's Master-Disaster DNCHRD III: VNYL is a DJ competition cum dance party where you supply the vinyl. Join us somewhere in Williamsburg as three New York turntablists go head to head to see who can keep the crowd jumping.
CNN: "In the past 24 hours the region has been rocked by heavy seismic activity -- with a total of at least 60 tremors rattling the country, according to Indonesia's Social Welfare Minister Aburizal Bakrie."
It's around 2am in Jakarta right now, I haven't heard from my sister except for this e-mail...
"Wow...did you guys hear about this one?! We didn't actually FEEL it at our house, but I don't know how. I was in the kitchen, and everything was banging around, making all kinds of noise. I looked outside, and our our pool was like a mini tsunami - water was crashing all over the place. For some reason I didn't feel any rumbling though. Maybe it was because mom wasn't there, yelling naked from her bedroom, "Get in a doorway!!! Get in a doorway!!! And DON'T PANIC!!!"
Shawnathon, I love you, but you're a freakshow - how can you NOT feel these earthquakes?!
Foo Fighters will take over New York’s Fillmore (formerly Irving Plaza) next Thursday, September 20th. Tickets to this performance are very limited. Stay tuned to foofighters.com for ticketing details.
Against Me! rocked our socks off last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (formerly N.6th). Gabel was about 10 ft from us before my camera dies, so I managed to get a couple of shots off...
Reminder: Tickets to their Sat, Nov 17 show go on sale tomorrow at noon - Cass, Colin and I are going... any one else?
Tensions are high in the Barker/Fowler residence this week, as Michigan is coming off of one of the greatest upsets in Sports History, and Oregon a 21-point victory over Houston.
Big thanks to Colin for finding and sharing this gem. It makes me wonder why I miss living there so much.... Oh right, because of the food, bars, music, shopping and of course, The Bedford Cheese Shop.
I picked up Chuck Ragan's Feast or Famine this weekend. It's a solid album from start to finish that strangely reminds me of Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. Ragan is the former front man of Hot Water Music. Matt Skiba is one of several artists that guests on Feast or Famine, he lends vocals and guitar to The Boat and Do What You Do. I also grabbed a tribute album to Elliott Smith called, to: elliott from: portland. Jake Portrait's band, To Live and Die in LA covers Kings Crossing on this album. I have to say, I was a little more than excited to buy a CD in NYC with my friend's name on the CD jacket - so proud of you Marty! Other Portland bands appearing on this album include The Decemberists, Crosstide and Lifesavas.
