Bjork in NYC - Roll Call

Anybody going to any of the 3 shows in NYC?

Count me in for all three plus Denver/San Fran.


And yeah, I know it's next Wednesday, but still…excitement is taking OVER!

I'm going to one of the NYC shows (May 5th) and the Mountain View (SF show) + Coachella!

I was at the United Palace show. Fucking amazing. How did it compare to the other shows?

Why isn't this moving to the first page?

Edit: now it moved. Didn't do it with the previous post. Weird…

I liked the United Palace show better (small venue, better seat + the guests in the show). The duet with Antony and Min Xiao-Fen plucking the hell out of that pipa were definite highlights.

I loved them both equally…had great seats for both! Cant wait for Joanna Newsom in Denver/SF!

That's gonna be amazing!

What will you wear at the SF show?! If I see you, I'll say hi.

Arcade Fire was RIDICULOUS!!!

They didn't do "Wake Up", but they did do MOST of Neon Bible and the show was phenomenal as usual!

I just have good ticket karma, I guess! I've been doing this for YEARS, so I think I know how to hit the good ticket lottery!

ixkpd-bk, are you based in NYC? or do you travel up there all the time for these shows? t'is a charmed life you lead… :)

ix: I dare you to wear a "Why Free Paris Hilton?" shirt… :)

if he/she doesnt live in NYC, im insanely jealous. i had 2 zillion friends trying for AF tickets and none of us got any. Of course, one friend of mine scored tix for the show at radio city (i think) and united palace.

If you were a brooklynvegan (www.brooklynvegan.com) reader, you'd know that they released great seats yesterday morning for both United Palace shows :)

yes thanks for the update. i also had an email from bowery presents also telling me there were tickets available at the door for that show. and i really wasnt up to wandering washington heights by my lonesome hoping for a ticket. granted ive never been to washington heights, so it might be a great safe neighborhood, but i wasnt about to go see.

and i read brooklynvegan when i can. i got a little disturbed when my pic kept showing up at the website at all the same shows. a friend kindly pointed me out everytime he saw me in a pic.

I'm not based in NYC, I live blocks from the 9:30 club! I'm just a frequent rider of the Chinatown bus/from Brooklyn. (Hence the name: I-escaped-Brooklyn, i-xkpd-bk)

But yah! I'm not going to the AF show at Radio City tonight, but I expect it to be amazing! Instead I'll be catching the Air show. CANT. WAIT.

(I'll totally wear a "Why Free Paris Hilton" shirt if I can find a "Free Paris Hilton" shirt!)

ixk: so you stayed in NYC for Bjork (Sat), AF (Mon) and Bjork again (Tues)… Then going to see Air tonite at the 930?

Those Chinatown buses have cheap fares…

Wellllllllllllllllll…

I came to work on Monday, then left half-day to get the bus up to catch AF. Took off on Tuesday, and went to Bjork yesterday. Got the Chinatown bus back this morning.

Oh, and the show was PHENOMENAL (as expected), Jonas Sen (her keyboardist/pianist) gave me his setlist for the night. I just scanned it in, enjoy!
