Hey, Pope, way to not come to Boston. Hey Pope, way to meet with five or six abuse victims. Hey Pope, how about turn in five or six Cardinals who ignored what was going on? How about real justice instead of describing your "spiritual unity" with the people who have been hurt?

For real, **** the Pope.

Apologies to practicing Catholics on .info.

(I suppose "practicing Catholics" doesn\'t make sense, does it?)

practicing catholics is a commonly used phrase.

Hi guys - a little late on this bulletin. I\'m jamming a song with Jounce at The Blender Theater at Gramercy on 127 East 23rd Street New York, NY. RAQ and Pnuma Trio are playing too.
I will be jamming around 9:30pm. Either way - a wonderful night in store. I look forward to seeing everyone - peace

Nope...as it was posted before, he\'ll be in Yonkers until around 6/6:30, then he\'s prob. going to bed. Ha ha.

I would do what Fizzle suggested, take the Throgs Neck into Queens to the Cross Island to the LIE (495) West into Manhattan. Might be a little out of the way, but could avoid some traffic.

Bill might like to read the news. The entire reason that the police were called (Texas) at all was some crazy biatch in Colorado (middle aged black woman)called the cops pretending to be a 16 year (white child) old held captive at the compound. I guess the woman from Colorado has done this before. So they went in and took all those kids away on a false charge.

http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=4678143&page=1

damned if you do, damned if you don\'t.

If they didn\'t take steps to protect those kids and there was abuse going on, people would have been in an uproar pointing fingers at the authorities.

So now they can reunite those families and let 50 year old dudes start marrying 16 year old children again.  Everybody\'s happy.

"And, finally, New Rule: Whenever you combine a secretive compound, religion and weirdos in pioneer outfits, there?s going to be some child-f*cking going on. In fact, whenever a cult leader sets himself up as ?God?s infallible wing man? here on earth, lock away the kids.

Which is why I?d like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult. Its leader also has a compound. And this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats. [photo of the Pope shown]

That?s right. The Pope is coming to America this week, and, ladies, he?s single! Now, I know what you?re thinking: ?Bill, you can?t be saying that the Catholic Church is no better than this creepy Texas cult! For one thing, altar boys can?t even get pregnant.?

But, really, what tripped up the ?little cult on the prairie? was that they only abused hundreds of kids, not thousands all over the world. Cults get raided. Religions get parades. How does the Catholic Church get away with all of their buggery? VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME!

If you have a few hundred followers and you let some of them molest children, they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call you ?Pope.?

It?s like if you can?t pay your mortgage, you?re a deadbeat, but if you can?t pay a million mortgages, you?re Bear Stearns, and we bail you out. And that?s who the Catholic Church is, the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia. Too big to fail.

When the - when the current Pope was in his previous Vatican job as John Paul?s Dick Cheney - he wrote a letter instructing every Catholic bishop to keep the sex abuse of minors secret until the statute of limitations ran out. And that?s the Church?s attitude: ?We?re here, we?re queer, get used to it.?

Which is fine. Far be it from me to criticize religion. But, just remember one thing: if the Pope was, instead of a religiou s figure, merely the CEO of a nationwide chain of daycare centers where thousands of employees had been caught molesting kids and then covering it up, he?d be arrested faster than you can say, ?Who wants to touch Mister Wiggle??

I know that this is a little out of the way, but you could come down over the Tap and and then drive to Hoboken and take the path to 33rd and hoof it the rest of the way.  That way you know the path runs through the night, the longest you\'ll wait for a train is half an hour.

Quote from: kindm\'s;186629
Just an FYI to all coming in from out of town.

The Pope is in NYC this weekend (starting tomorrow) so expect really bad traffic and street closings.


They are closing the Cross county expressway from 2PM - 10PM on 04/19.

Any idea how "bad" this will be?

Like, should I rethink my idea of driving down?

(Right now I am thinking of changing my route - cross the hudson up north, then come in from the other side of manhatten...)

I would always say use mass transit but seeing as this show will go past 2AM or close to it that might not be a solution. If you have a way to hang in the city until around 6AM I would say take the train in and out.

The traffic is usually bad anyway. You have the Pope in town, Green Apple is going on etc.

If you aren\'t planning to come down until later on Saturday night you may be ok.

I would definitely not cross the Hudson twice tho.

Tune in to 1010wins (AM) they have traffic and transit on the 1\'s so you shoul dget a good idea as you approach which will be the best way in

1010 AM - on the 1\'s
1130 AM - on the 5\'s
880 AM - on the 8\'s.

Keep switching between the three stations and you can essentially hear nothing but traffic reports the entire trip.  :P

I suppose one detour you could consider would be to take either the Throg\'s Neck or Whitestone Bridge over to Long Island (Queens actually) and take the Long Island Expressway (495) west, going through the Mid-Town Tunnel and getting out on 35th street.

If anyone is looking for a decent bar with a great beer selection, may I recommend Croxley\'s.  It\'s just a couple of blocks away from Mercury Lounge.  The original Croxley\'s is in my home town, which I\'m a regular at.  The beer selection is superb.  Good food too.

If we promo it hard enough, I don\'t see the breakfast getting less than 150.

Reasons:
1.) 4/20
2.) NYC has alot of people in it.

Err...how do you figure?

er, cuz the majority of breakfast shows in nyc are 1 setters.  plus ive never seen them go onstage at midnight or later in NYC and play 2 sets.  just dont get your hopes up for 2 sets is all.  chances are theyll be finished by 2am.  unless by some miracle theres a 150-200 people packed in there(which i highly doubt happens.)

ie; what is the lastest they can play in the city?

(i remember they opened for railroad earth at the bowery ballroom many years ago which was probaby bigger deal, but this is also important...)

what\'s the hold up?!

It\'s on the news letter I got sometime in the AM this morning.

I\'m guessing that\'s offical.

 We\'re kinda like a mix of King Crimson, Mogwai, Bob Mould, Frank Zappa, and more, with a shitload of original songs, and high intensity stage shows.  We\'ve recently had a live projectionists working with us, and we promise more surprises (iguana wrestling, anyone?) for this special show...anyway, come out a little early if you can, and start drinking early for a HUGE night of music and a big night in NYC for The Breakfast!

Get ready to party folks!! Just got an email from the Bowery Presents guys announcing this show: http://mercuryloungenyc.com/calendar/show/1384/

The guys in Mercury Landing  (http://www.mercurylanding.com/)and Wounded Buffalo Theory (http://www.woundedbuffalotheory.net/) are really great friends of mine, so PLEASE try to arrive early and throw down. They will not to disappoint, I PROMISE!

And this is a BIG gig for The Breakfast, being that it\'s the Green Apple Music Fest and all, so let\'s show the Big Apple how we do! PLUS, Mercury Lounge is run by the Bowery Presents guys, who own the Bowery Ballroom, the Music Hall of Williamsburg and Terminal 5. Like I said, it\'s a BIG gig, so let\'s start rallying the troops!!

Needless to say, I\'m beyond pumped!!
