So within this next month, I’m going to a bunch of shows… and to say the least, I’m pumped. Tonight, I will be going to the Static X show at Irving Plaza, potentially V.I.P style. I will be going with Kiwi and C-Moore Evil, plus a few other friends. I’m really digging Static X’s new album, so I’m really excited to see it with live energy tonight.
Then on August 3rd, I will have a complete change of pace when I go to Madison Square Garden to see Depeche Mode. That’s right… I love my 80’s music… and I’ll be going with my parents! Haha. I can’t wait to go. I actually am not all that impressed with their new album, but as long as they play some of the old hits I will be completely satisfied… namely People are People.. my fave hit!
A mere 4 days later, I will be going to the Incubus concert with Kiwi at PNC. I actually won us tickets by going to a WDHA event at a bar in Morristown, which was hosted by C-Moore Evil. We will be somewhere in the 300’s.. I believe is was 305. I’ve heard Incubus isn’t necessarily great live, since they tend to play new, slower stuff. But I’m still excited to go and see for myself.
After that I get a break for a week or two. On August 20th, I begin my week stay in NYC. The 20th will be spent at the Upright Citizens Brigade to see the stand-up comics act with the YouTube sensation, Picnicface. It should be a ton of fun and if you’re around, come along! Kiwi will be with me, and hopefully Miss Machine as well.
Then, I will be starting my first day of my second NIN fest this summer! On the 22nd and 23rd I will be seeing NIN with my journalist friend and fellow NIN lover, Dave. We had met back when With Teeth was first released at a listening party in NYC. We’ve stayed in touch and he will be flying to NYC for the NIN shows, and since I failed to get tickets for the Webster Hall and Bowery Ballroom shows, he invited me to come along because he’s the greatest! Then I’ll have a day break, and on the 25th will be attending the Terminal 5 NIN show with Kiwi and Michael Sossi, my NIN buddy. I am not quite sure if I am going to get tickets for the 26th show as well, but if I do, C-Moore Evil will be coming with me. Do you think I can handle a 4 day NIN fest?
So that, my friends, is my collection of concerts for the next month. Soon after that I should be going back to school, so long as I can get the loan.. and then back to work I go. But damn, what a great end to a great summer this will be.
So if anyone will be going to any of these shows, let me know! Or just come up and say hello. I don’t bite. ;-)
