thanks for the update, slimetrail
have lots of fun at the show & I hope you’ll tell us about it, afterwards!

Well, I hope to go. I’ve only driven through NYC and truthfully, I’m a bit scared of the place. I grew up in small-town Texas, spent some time in northern Maine, NH, and western MA, and I now live in tranquil Upstate NY. The part of NYC that I saw while driving through was freakin’ terrifying in every sense of the word (we were looking for a public restroom in an ugly part of Queens–pretty stupid in retrospect). But if I can get my husband to go, I’m there (I sure ain’t going back to NYC alone!!!). Don’t worry, though. If we go, I’ll fill y’all in on everything.

It sucks that J will only play a half an hour, whats that like 5 or 6 songs.

[slimetrail]

Yeah, and that’s apparently not enough to persuade my husband to accompany me on a ride to and from NYC. And I’m sure as hell not going alone, so oh well…

[rambleon]

bummer !! maybe j’ll play closer to syracuse some time soon …

i know it’s not local, but how about a trip out to cape cod to see lard zep in july ?? … think your husband would be into that ?
