how many times have you seen sy live?
 

just curious.

i think mccarren park will be my 7th time in 5 years? something like that


i'm sure most of you guys who have years on me have seen way more youth shows

if the syr 3 tour counts, I think 6 times.

twice plus thurston with william winant and tom surgal once.

----

are you going to any of the king crimson shows in ny, cantanky?

i didn't even know king crimson were playing here. probably not though.

in two weeks; i'm weighting the option because it's sixty-fucking-dollars and i can spend that money on something else.

it's probably not the same seeing them now as it would have been 30 or 35 years ago. no way would i pay $60 either.

tomorrow should be 6th. time i will see SY live.

they are still pretty righteous, i did like their recent-ish output.

but of course it's not the same as seeing them before, they are almost two complete different bands (and dozens others in between.)

but yeah, $60 dollars is pretty bogus, i might end up going to central park to fight all the hipsters grooving to battles.

They've never came here and I don't think they've even come to this state in forever and I don't have a reliable car to go out of state and none of my friends like SY enough to ever go out of state to see them.

So.. NEVER.

i'll watch out the window, i live across the street from central park.



that's surprising, i feel privleged now. i would have thought you of all people would have seen them.

ohh, ritzy.

and to address one concern of this thread, there's probably no way i will stay long enough to catch sy in mccarren park, so it's still twice without any change in sight.

they better not play a bunch of shit from rather ripped or i will be marching up to thurston moore's doorstep and demanding a refund.

Once. If I'd discovered them sooner it could've been twice.
