Good one!
 
 I do hope she does a show here. I also hope it's not going to be more than 20 bucks for a ticket.

That's the case with hipsters anywhere.

do you think that album sales are the main reason someone does or doesn't play the 930?  maybe she or her management don't like DC.  maybe they're overbooked as it is.  maybe she can make more money elsewhere.  there are many reason why should wouldn't play DC (chief among them is security concern over some street teamer/online stalker that keeps starting threads about her on local message boards...)

They are selling them on craigslist for $100 for the May NY shows.

great comeback    :roll:  
 
 i'm just asking that you think through what you post, either that or explain the thought clearly enough so we get your point. "amy should play the 930 because she sold 51k albums" makes no sense whatsoever to me.
 
 bull, don't get me wrong - i have nothing against you (other than the minor complaint that your posts appear to be written by a 15-year-old romanian script kiddie).  i like the fact that you have strong music opinions and won't back down from them.  i like that you contribute to this board - but not enough to buy you a beer, not yet (rhett, on the other hand, earned his via a bet).

51,000 albums and she plays popscene in SF. check out that club and go see her there. Its tiny and holds maybe a couple hundred or so. Obviously its not all about album sales as to where she plays. Popscene = 330 ritch street

In Philly they just moved the show from a sold-out TLA to the Electric Factory.  Plus it's on a Friday now, in case anyone wants to come up.  It's May 11th.

They moved the date, too? Electric Factory holds what? 3000?

Wait.  It gets better.
 
 I received an email this morning saying:
 
 Amy Winehouse scheduled at Theatre of the Living Arts on Sunday, May 6, 2007, at 8:00pm, has been rescheduled and changed to a new venue.  
 
 The event will now take place at the Electric Factory, located between 6th and 7th on Callowhill and Spring Garden St. in PA on Friday, May 11, 2007 at 8:00pm.  
 
 However, that's now wrong.  It's been moved again to the day before.  Saturday, the 5th of May.  Not the 11th.  A venue change and two date changes in a matter of hours!
 
 You can't stop Amy Winehouse, you can only hope to contain her.

Sad or funny I can't determine.  The night before SXSW music started I saw Amy Winehouse in NYC and it was a decent but not great show.  She was dressed nicely and seemed only partially buzzed, and sang her ass (what's left of it) off.  
 
 The next day in Austin I was walking towards a venue on 6th street and this rail thin crack whore looking chick stumbled out of a sandwich shop with this huge black dude and I was thinking geez this chick has gone out of her way to look like Amy W. even has similiar tats and a beehive wig.  
 
 The first double take I thought it was a guy in drag, then she basically screamed at the black guy (who I now realize was a body guard) that she wanted a pint "NOW!" and she wasn't going "any phuckin place" until she had one.  So the second double take it was unmistakenly her, and people were staring at her like she was an alien.
 
 The night before in bowery I wasn't THAT far back but she looked so awful in comparison and I felt pretty sick about the whole scene.  It was like hearing the screech of tires before impact, and you grimace yet you can't look away.
 
 There was a guy panhandling that probably slept the night before outside that shop, and he looked like he'd been at a spa in comparison to her.  In fact I think she scared the hell out him.  
 
 A great talent, but I fear is going to have a very sad ending.

I am hoping we might get a suprise gig like when Lily came back for a 2nd time.

i saw Amy yesterday on Later...With Jools Holland and she was just AWFUL.  i mean, i suppose her CD is ok but she just looks bad..and after watching this performance, i dont get why anyone actually likes her.
