Heading to NY tomorrow..

M.Alki - 1-6-2010 at 07:26 PM

...last minute thing, booked a flight tonight, going to be around until Jan 25th.
Any shows or anything happening in NY or surrounding states in the next few weeks?
I know about JC in NY and the baltimore thing this weekend and am currently torn between the 2!
Danny if you happen to read this, dont tell Dom or Tad or anyone im coming its a suprise!

BDx13 - 1-6-2010 at 08:49 PM

you know, just today i was thinking about asking if you would consider bringing me something next time you came over. before you leave, would you mind popping over to the market and grabbing me some of these. i'm sure customs won't mind. and i know matt agrees it would be well worth the risk even if they did.

anyway, back to the question. here are the shows i've had on my calendar (even though i know i'm goign to none of them)...

- Friday, 1/8 in Boston: Hudson Falcons, Joe Coffee, Welch Boys, Refuse Resist +more. obviously, not as heavy as bmore this weekend, but a terrific lineup.

- Friday 1/8 in Baltimore: THOR, Pulling Teeth, Slumlords, NRSV.

- Sat 1/9 in Baltimore: Integrity, Ringworm, Pulling Teeth, more. (Unfortunately, Starkweather is no longer playing.)

- Sat, 1/9 in NYC: Joe Coffee. This is actually Paul's birthday, which oughta kick things up a notch.

- Fri, 1/15 in NYC: Hope Conspiracy. THE FUCKING HOPE CONSPIRACY, Martine. Please do not miss this.

If money were no object, I'd hit the Fri show in Boston, then the Sat show in Bmore. In fact, until money very recently became an object, that was my very plan for this weekend. But given all the friends you have in Bmore, this weekend will be a good time to be in town.

haha ah yes the giggly pig! Brilliant sausages made by an ex-con!
Im afraid she's only there on Saturdays though even if customs would let me!

I really wana go to the JC show on Friday but just found out im gona be in Baltimore for the whole weekend.
None of those guys know im coming hence the disclaimer to Danny in the last post! haha
Duane pleeeeeeeeeease try come at the weekend it would be good to see you again!
If you dont make it, then maybe we can drive up and say hi somewhere local to you in the next coupla weeks?
U2U me your number as i'll have my american phone once there but i cant remember the number right now!

XHonusWagnerX - 1-6-2010 at 09:40 PM

damn.... I was hoping you and Thorp were still considering going to the JC, RR, Welch Boys show on Friday.

I'll be there... actually be there really early cause I'm gonna head to Boston right from work (3:30 pm) yuck!

Might stop by the Newbury Comics warehouse and see Mark McKay... other than that I'll just have LOTS of time to kill!

XHonusWagnerX - 1-6-2010 at 09:41 PM

Oh yeah... as far as NY goes.... goto the Brooklyn Monster Factory cause I've never been there and would really like to go!

M.Alki - 1-6-2010 at 10:09 PM

I've actually been to Brooklyn Monster Factory before, my friend took me there one day and i assumed we were going to some bar...i assumed wrong.
Pretty cool shit there though.

JawnDiablo - 1-6-2010 at 10:23 PM

coming off the holidays and with everything else that's going on, i just can't afford it right now. if it's $200 bucks for gas, food & a hotel, that's a month worth of punknews.org ads right there!

that said, there is a show in the works for this spring for which we will absolutely be in attendance. more on that soon hopefully.

Im flying in to JFK, my friend is picking me up, we're going to B'more for the weekend and then....the rest is doing whatever comes up really! I know theres a WIC shoot we might go to and we also might go Erie for a day or so but we got no solid plans other than b'more and a show in NY the day before I head home again.
I'll mostly be staying at my friends apartment in NYC and my friends in PA.

totally understandable.... money is tight all around, I'm just lucky its only about 40 miles from home to Boston and leaving from work I'll already be 1/2 way there.

Hopefully you're talking about the RR CD release... that sounds like it will be a great show!

edit - not to worry

found it online

BDx13 - 1-9-2010 at 12:57 PM

so...
ya reckon she's survived last night's show?

M.Alki - 1-10-2010 at 03:14 PM

haha im alive, just about! Fri and Sat shows were both pretty good and i was a fine mess at both too, not being able to remember most of Friday speaks volumes really! Went to the Wisdom In Chains video shoot today (I say today, we drove from Baltimore to Stroudsburg at 5am)..now back in BK recovering..

Duane I left you a voicemail Friday i think?! I'll hit you up again tonight or tmrw, let me know when you're free at all this week.

BDx13 - 1-13-2010 at 11:48 AM

verbal confirmation has been made!
she's alive and...well, maybe not 100% well, but you know!
hopefully, visual confirmation tomorrow!

BDx13 - 1-13-2010 at 11:55 AM

Martine, got another show for ya.

Wednesday, 1/20
Asbury Park, NJ @ Asbury Lanes
w/ The Hudson Falcons, The F-Bombers, Burning Streets

M.Alki - 1-13-2010 at 12:26 PM

After last night I dont know if im even 1% well, if im not half way dead by the end of this trip then i'll be very suprised!
I'll call you later about tomorrow anyways and will be very likely to hit up that show on the 20th.

BDx13 - 1-13-2010 at 01:09 PM

M.Alki - 1-20-2010 at 02:13 PM

hahaha total sun in eyes shot! I havnt got my card reader here but i got some pics to send you when i get back.

BDx13 - 1-23-2010 at 09:44 PM

M, how much was your flight?

M.Alki - 1-24-2010 at 03:16 PM

My flight this time around was about 330 british sterling which i think is about $530 at the moment
But bare in mine i booked my flight the night before it departed when the weather back home was real bad so normally at that short notice it would have been more.
I've never paid more than about 450 english for a return flight to NY.

BDx13 - 1-27-2010 at 12:34 AM

home safe?

post up a list of all the shows you went to during your two-week trip.
i guarantee it's more than i went to in the past year.

M.Alki - 1-27-2010 at 01:03 AM

I am home and can't sleeeeep! slept Sunday night, got up early Monday, flew overnight in the evening and didnt sleep on the plane (instead I watched 'Up' again and 'The Time Travellers Wife' and had myself a total crying fest! haha) got home around 1pm, napped from 6pm-10pm and now i feel more awake than I have been in years!
Haha but to actually answer your question instead of ranting, yes im home safe thanks!

Ooooh as for shows i went to, damn this is some hard thinking but all i can think of off the top of my head right now are...
- NRSV/Slumlords/Thor, in Baltimore, this was probably the best show of the whole trip mainly because I got to see Slumlords!
- Pulling Teeth/Gehenna/Ringworm/Integrity, again Baltimore.
- Steel Nation/Strength For a Reason/H8 Inc/Wisdom In Chains, Pittsburgh, we tried to kinda speed to Erie after this to see if we could catch Trapped Under Ice at another show too but missed it as there was immense fog and couldnt see a thing even with full beams on.
- F-Bombers/Burning Streets/Husdon Falcons, NJ
- The Jett Black Heart Attack, NY (one of my friends from a band called Tension*, this is his rock/garage/other music kinda band!)
- Suburban Scum/36 Deadly Fists/Billy Club Sandwich/Shattered Realm, NY

I know I have missed one or 2 smaller shows here that i hit up in PA/NY and i just cant think right now what they were!

BDx13 - 1-27-2010 at 01:16 AM

so that's basically one show every other day, all within a 450 mile radius.
well done!

M.Alki - 1-27-2010 at 01:19 AM

haha pretty much, please bare in mind we also managed to fit in a trip to erie, a coupla nights in philly with joe, i went to long island to catch up with people, and we were drunk half the time, oh and there was also the bar with the mechanical bull...haha

BDx13 - 1-27-2010 at 11:05 AM

God Bless America.
