Tim played Sex Machine at BAR.......

Honestly I would rather see the band pay homage to Peter Boyle by acting out a scene from Young Frankenstein or Johnny Dangerously than wasting a song on some James Brown cover...

I wonder if the band will pay tribute to James Brown and cover one of his tunes. I know they have done Super Bad and Sex Machine in the past.

Are you going to hand out flyers at the Pyramid and do you know when that show is supposed to wrap up? Some of the people there might have seen the Breakfast at their moedown appearance and be interested in walking over too.

the pyramid show is basically at the same time as the breakfast.  i have no idea when they will wrap up but the people there that would go to the breakfast will be at the breakfast.  the others are there to hang with each other and watch mike and jim play.  i will talk to one of them before showtime and see when they are planning to wrap up and if theyd send people to the breakfast.  not sure that handing out any flyers would do anything other than create more of a mess for the NYC sanitation dept to clean up otherwise i would have prolly asked about gettting some.  

you know it\'d be really cool if we somehow got jim to sitin with the breakfast!!!!!

Just a little more than two weeks to go. I have put some flyers in the local hipster coffee shop. This is on the lower east side so hopefully we can drum up some business outside of the breakfast regulars.

Past the long bar, the cozy East Village hangout opens into an intimate performance space. It?s a spare, understated room with brick walls, great sight lines, a magnificent sound system

I probably won\'t make this... I never go to NYC... but it looks like a good time.

If the Brew is opening that is great... They played my friends\' wedding a few months ago and I thought they were very good. A bit too Phishy at times perhaps, but talented fellows.

With so many larger venues to choose from in New York City, why do these artists venture down to the East Village to play this modest club? "First off, the owners wanted to design the space around musicians\' needs, so they made the stage bigger (30 feet by 10 feet) than someone else might for a room this size (30 feet by 40 feet). Conventional wisdom says "The smaller the stage, the more room for paying customers." But that\'s not the way they were thinking.

It sounds like this space will be easy to fill up w/ WPOAC\'s ;)
