Title: New York Venue? Thoughts?
Post by: WSS2 on May 16, 2011, 03:23 PM
Sounds like there will be an NYC date in near future.....thoughts on venue?  Return to T5?  Radio City?  Something epic and outdoors....governors island?

(http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/035.gif) RADIO CITY RADIO CITY RADIO CITY RADIO CITY (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/035.gif) .. and me in the front row (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/035.gif)


not sure about gov's island .. logistics getting on and getting off the island (more so the latter) can be a real PITA depending on crowd. if an outdoor venue i'd say the williamsburg waterfront which is fine, not a favorite of mine b/c the set up is (or was) sort of a shit show. i missed the 1st radio city show b/c of a wedding and i still rue the day

technically doesn't count for outdoor space but T5 does have a rooftop....

agree on governor's island....getting off is especially brutal

i'd shoot someone in the eye with a marble if we went back to T5** .. especially in the summer months, there's just no excuse for that (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/018.gif) (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/018.gif) (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/018.gif)

** if it was another late fall/winter situation fine OK whatever but summer, no way jose. as you can tell i'm not a fan of T5 ;)

i was thinking Brooklyn, maybe Coney Island or where Wilco/YLT played a couple summers ago, hoping it's not a seated venue...

oh yeah .. i knew i was forgetting something. i'd prefer the coney island venue. i think it'd be a good size for them and there is always a GA in the field .. and then of course seats for those that want them. i've seen phish & wilco there, it was a great experience  :thumbsup:

i was at that wilco/ylt show-- really great cool venue but i'd only be happy being by the stage.  seats in stands are a bit too far away.  then again, i think i always want to be by the stage.    this ballpark would be pretty cool.

(and we all need to keep those dangerous marbles away from brooke!)  :o
