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?

RADIO CITY RADIO CITY RADIO CITY RADIO CITY .. and me in the front row

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

** 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...
but come on...there's nothing sexy about poop. Nothing.  -bbill

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:

it they could get insane and gut out the Frying Pan for an evening....but that's probably asking wayyyyy too much...more of a fantasy thought if anything

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.
