Everybody Knows You Cried Last Night

For those still interested, and crying that they don't have New Pornographers tickets, the folks at river to river had this to say:

4th of July Ticket Update
One Last Chance!

All reserved tickets to the July 4th concert featuring The New Pornographers with Midlake at Battery Park that have not already been picked up have been released.

The good news is there is a second chance to get tickets: any remaining tickets (and supply is limited) will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 am on July 4th in Battery Park near Castle Clinton. Click HERE for a map with the exact location.

Looking forward to a fun-filled 4th - see you there!

If you want them, get ready to wake up. It's not that serious to me. I plan on sleeping in on my day off.

However, if you still want a free show, Nathan's hot dog's will be holding their annual "see which skinny Asian person can eat more than 50 times their own weight in hot dogs" contest. It's at 12pm on Coney island, which frankly, is still too early for me on a day off. Hope you enjoy some of the 4th fun!

Everyone's Leaving For The Weekend

This past weekend was pretty packed in comparison to the weekend prior when I did absolutely nothing. What did I do, you ask?
Friday was Ra Ra Riot at the South Street Seaport (NYC, not Philly). They really put on a good show, and played the tracks from their self titled Ep. The show was excellent, despite the looming air of remorse over the recent loss of their drummer.

Then on Saturday, I "enjoyed" the Canada Day celebration in Brooklyn. I staid for Malajube, but rolled before The Stills went on. I had aparty to attend, and Canada was kind of a drag. No offence, Canada! Now that the weekend is behind us, and the 4th is in a day, I suggest you check out these fun-time events if you're in any of these areas:

I am going to try and get some left over tickets to see the New Pornographers in part of the River To River series. So if that works outs, I'll give you some info on that. If not, it could just be sitting on my roof watching the fireworks they set off in Prospect Park. Either way, its not a bad way to spend a day off. Have a good tomorrah!
