Roll Call: Sonic Youth

[Bombay Chutney]

I shall be there.
 
 Any thoughts on the opening bands?  I just noticed White Magic is also opening for Fiery Furnaces at The Black Cat.  I tried allmusic, but after waiting about 30 seconds  for the front page to load, I bailed.  Are they worth arriving early?

I'll be there as well.  
 
 White Magic were pretty great the one time I saw them.  Very folky/bluesy, in my opinion.  It's not high energy, by any means, but (not to sound like a broken record or anything) Mira's voice is enough to send chills down your spine.  I've already got my $$$ to pick up their EP this time around.
 
 Don't know anything about Magic Marker, though.

If anyone's got word on an extra ticket, I'm all ears.

[sonickteam2]

well. i was GOING to go, but again, if thirsty aint goin, i aint goin.
 
    that said, i "might" go tonight.

[Sailor Ripley]

I'll be there.

Just swing on by.  You'll get a ticket, I'm sure.  Besides, it's not like you can't just hop on your INSERT NAME OF IMPRESSIVE NEW BIKE HERE and make it to the club in no time.  No pain, no gain.

I'm losing dignity by the minute.  I just told someone I'd marry their russian girlfriend to keep her in the country for a ticket.

If you're serious about that offer, I know someone who would take you up on it, but I doubt they have any extra Sonic Youth tickets.

I'll be there...I think this is about the 9th time I've seen Sonic Youth.

Yes.

[nkotb]

Yep...he's an honest-to-goodness full time member of SY nowadays.  Since NY Ghosts & Flowers, if I'm correct (or at least toured with them since that time).

Looks like I just scored myself a ticket sans Russian mail order bride.  Sorry Petra, maybe next time.

That's too bad, I'm sure Petra could have scored you some great seats at the next Gorky Park concert.

I believe that to be a totally fictional event.
