 A) British Sea Power/Pela/1990s/Tiny Masters of Today/Stardeath and White Dwarfs/The Grey Race (Bowery Ballroom)
 
 B) Simian Mobile Disco, with Invisible Conga People / James Fucking Friedmann / Professor Genius (DJ Set) (Music Hall of Williamsburg)
 
 C) Stars w/ New Buffalo (Town Hall)
 
 enter your votes now.  i'm leaning towards option A.

C is sold out - so youll have to find a ticket to that one. I saw British Sea Power last night, and well the sound seriously sucked at Maxwells, but I was hoping for a more engaging performance. My friends are hardcore BSP fans and said theyve changed it up a bit and its not like their prior shows. Mellowing it up with old age I guess.
 
 Based on that - Id still go with BSP but I want to see a lot of the openers is why I'd go. Ill be at Stars. Then off to see Uncut and other bands till the wee hours.

I was psyched to see this, but I haven't had any QT with my wife in weeks due to our work schedules, and since she's coming with me to the New Pornos show and I have Jens the night before, I'm opting to skip it.  Bummed, but that's the price of getting old.

Maybe you could get the Director to pinch hit.

Yeah, somehow sending a high-rolling black dude with a huge rod to spend time with my wife doesn't sound like the ideal fix to that situation.  Then again, I did miss the last Boris show.  Hmmmmm....

Were you out there this weekend?  I just got back last night from a bachelor party.
 
 On a related note, I feel like dying right now.

also, I want to go to the BSP show sort of.  and a friend wants me to go to see that Running band whatever they're called on Saturday.  I don't know how I am still alive, and yet I'm planning all this shit....I AM INSANE.

You guys kill me, man.  LOL.  I'm hardly a high roller.  Just single with no kids or main chick to worry about.  
 
 I'm just a black man caught up in the mix/
 Trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.

I'd say B only because they've spent almost all their money on their light show. And according to their myspace page, that lightshow is awesome.

i'm really sorry to hear that ... they were one of the fucking craziest live bands i've ever seen circa 2003 or so ... them opening for the libertines @ black cat (even sans doherty) was pretty much a perfect bill

i'm surprised more people aren't going to billy bragg ... seems like all the aging anglophiles on here would be all over this one ... really looking forward to that show, have never seen him live

Awesome.
 
 Over the weekend I was invited to a family friends' 21st birthday party with all of her girlfriends in Vegas.  It happens to coincide with the opening week of March Madness.  I'm pretty sure my head is going to explode.

I'll be in Vegas next week.  Recommendations for any *ahem* nocturnal entertainment are welcome.  I plan on crawling off the plane once I touch back down in D.C . . .
