Possible Low Down Gathering (6/22 - NYC)

[Mr. Phil]

My girlfriend and I will be attending the Primus concert at Radio City Musichall on June 22nd.

 

I was thinking that the show isnt until 8pm, that we could make a whole day out of it. Maybe stop by Joey G's if you guys would like to make arrangements, or we can just play around at GC for a while.

 

And if any of you want to come to the show with us, thats cool also.

 

Or if no one wants to, thats cool too.

 

just post your interests here.

S-UU,

 

Thanks for the assist in the blatant gig-spam.

 

Chancer - me on bass. Radiohead-ish originals (check the link in my sig). No cover at Luna, how much could you lose?

 

Papalegba - me on bass with a new act. Killer vocals - soulful (imagine if the Black Crowes met up with the Counting Crows). It will be "unplugged-ish". Two acoustic guitars and me on bass.

 

Cottonmouth DN - dead sexy guitar player. What else do you need?

[_Sweet Willie_]

Papalegba...hmmmmm, pronounciation on that one?

 

Papa-leg-ba?

 

Papal-eg-ba?

 

Pap-aleg-ba?

 

Personally I like the second one. It makes me think of Scrooge's disdain for Roman Catholic dairy cuisine. "Papal egg?! Bah!"

 

Back on topic: Les Claypool and Marcus Miller in NYC on 6/22 -- what's the chance they'll do an "after party" gig together? I'd travel for the "Panther/Johnny Was a Race Car Driver" medley.

 

Peace.

First pronounciation, thank you.

 

Apparently, it is the name the fabled devil that R. Johnston sold his soul to at the crossroads.

 

Not bad, I've been in bands with worse names.

As have I.

[Mr. Phil]

Ok so we have Rick (cliff II), Ace (whose name I don't know), Wraub, Maury you coming?

 

And throw out some ideas of where to go if you don't want to just hang at GC. I have no clue whats good.

[Mr. Phil]

No one has any ideas of what to do?

 

[doc taz]

I might be out of town that week, sorry.

Just caught this, sorry. Papa Legba is one of the Loa in Voudoun (Voodoo to the rest of us) tradition. I believe he was the guardian of the roads, particularly between here and the next world, and so was invoked at the beginning of any voodoo ceremony.

 

Voodoo's cool stuff. I like the name.

[getz out]

Thomas,

 

Thanks for the info!

[Mr. Phil]

the last bump before it goes off the page.

[The Fonz]

where's my nyc people at?

that's what I'm wondering...

 

I'm not good at picking places where everyone wants to go, so shout out some ideas.

[Rick Hoffman]

lets all meet up at charlie o's in penn station then begin a journey to the show from there. along the way we'll find GC and maybe a pub where there will be some good food and beer

maybe there will be some pre concert stuff goin on around the show

or check out other live bands...

i kind of like the idea of concert hoppin

i just quickly read this thread i've been busy i'll re read it i thought i saw some other events up there

if not meet at penn then somewhere in manhattan

where is everyone coming from, etc?

[Mr. Phil]

Well me and you are coming from long island, so maybe we can take the train in together.

 

I think everyone else is already in the city, and maury is in hoboken.

 

I guess meeting at Penn would be ok, but it might be out of the way for the people already in the city. The other two times we met at Guitar Center (48th i believe?) and we went from there. Thing is, I have to be at the Primus concert ideally around 7pm no later than 7:30.

 

So if you all want to go music store hopping, or come in late, and stay a GC for a few hours then have dinner around 5ish, that would be the best probably.

 

Lets wait until the allmighty Shecky has to say.

[Rick Hoffman]

OK think I can pick up 2 tix at the door? Or should I get ASAP

I'm prob gonna show up with a friend, or come alone.

As far as food beforehand goes how about somewhere with nice scenery...( read single women ) hehehe

[The Fonz]

just a thought, june 22nd is a tuesday. a lot of the nyc lowdowners are suburbanites, and the rest have day jobs, families, etc. this will probably be a small gathering, especially since you guys have a concert that falls smack in the middle of the prime gathering-for-a-coupla-drinks hours.

I'm not sure if you can pick em up at the door. You probably can, but then you will probably have 3rd mezzanine all the way in the back

 

Go to Primussucks.com and go to tours and check out ticketmaster. I'd reccommend paying the extra $10 or so for better seats. I got 2nd mezzanine 3rd row to the first section right off center. Those are OK seats. And that was the best available last week or whenever I bought em. I forgot.

[Mr. Phil]

OK so I guess it will be me, my girlfriend, Wraub(don't know your real spelling), Rick, and Ace (sorry don't know your real name)

 

I'm still not sure where we're gonna meet...

[Tom Capasso]

As Ace indicated, it's a Tuesday. Most likely I'll be out of town, so you're on your own.

 

Sorry I can't make it!!

Make sure you take pictures !!!

 

Tom

[Rick Hoffman]

I think I'm out on the Primus show, as Marcus Miller is playin the 21st( and 22nd) I'd rather go see him no offense to Les.

But have a good time anyway!

I'm not good at these offline meets...

[Mr. Phil]

OK, change of plans, I have somethings to do before I go to the show in the afternoon, so maybe we can arrange a larger LDL meeting on the next big vacation or maybe if someone is coming in some weekend, we can all go.

 

*note to self - weekdays are not good for people who work
