"826NYC and The Bowery Presents present REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS, a one-night-only event that brings together some of our most celebrated comedians, writers, and indie-rock songwriters for a rare evening of intimate performances, including FEIST, A.C. NEWMAN (of The New Pornographers), JIM JAMES (of My Morning Jacket), GRIZZLY BEAR, SARAH VOWELL (best-selling author and This American Life contributor), and DEMETRI MARTIN (Daily Show regular, comedy superstar). The night promises once and for all to try to settle the debate: words or music - which is better?"

Thanks 4 the tip V man. Hmmm ticketmaster gave me this right now:

Tickets may not be on sale yet.
Tickets may not be available at this time. More tickets may become available later.
Tickets may not be available online just hours before an event occurs.
On rare occasions, tickets may only be available at ticket outlets or the box office.

No word yet when I called the Beacon box office. Shit, I hope I don't get shut out.


Thanks again for the tip.  :)

Hey, I would have started running towards the venue like my head was on fire with no plan whatsoever.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

I've got two tickets to this and cannot make it. Thought I'd put it out there to you folks before trying ebay or craigslist. Will take what I paid for them ($50 each plus stupid ticketmaster fees).  Send me a pm if you want them (would rather get rid of them as a pair). Could meet you in ny to hand them over or mail them.

Oh, and they are orchestra row v,  seats 105 to 106, so it's in the center.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

That show was off the hook!  The giant drill coming down through the ceiling almost got me, but luckily I was spared and can live to see the Jacket another day.

I think this was the setlist:
What was the song Jim opened with (I am Wonderful)????
Bermuda Highway
What A Wonderful Man
Gideon
Anytime
down with the Jacket since 9/13/03!

although...the one thing that did annoy me was how the Comedian host just walked off stage without introducing Jim James.  GRR.  Everyone around me was like "who is that?"   and I told them Jim James, but still NOT fair!  James didn't get the recognition he or MMJ deserve!  >:(
