TDPRI NYC get-together?

JohnnyCrash · January 2nd, 2008, 09:33 PM

To put a proper invitation up here :)

Any New York city area TDPRI'er up for getting together sometime next week?

I think the plan was to perhaps meet for drinks at www.livingroomny.com on Monday evening (January 7th).

We could meet anywhere/any time, but I'll only be around from the 6th-11th (sorry, its all weekdays), so you'd have one (actually two, my gal's coming too) less if it aint in that timeframe :)

It'd be a cool way to meet up with fellow TDPRI'ers for a drink and some laughs...

bendingtens · January 2nd, 2008, 09:35 PM

I'm in New York.. Love to get together, drink beer and talk teles.

BritishBluesBoy · January 2nd, 2008, 09:42 PM

You know I'll be there...

Jim Campilongo is playing at 11. I'd suggest we get there fairly early - I reckon it's likely to get pretty full in there so why don't we say around 8.30ish...?? That way we can stake out our spot, have a few beers and talk Telecasters for a while before the show... Whadya reckon?

JohnnyCrash · January 2nd, 2008, 09:58 PM

8:30-ish on Monday, right?

Sounds good to me!

Cool. I'll be the one with a carnation in my lapel and a copy of the NY Times under my arm...

You'd better wear a TDPRI T-Shirt or something... I'm embarrassed to say I don't have one...

Hee Hee!

I am so jealous

How about taping the shenanigans???

Oh yeah, is there a cover charge to get in?

Got any photos of yourself? I'll be the guy with the pompador (probably) and I'll be with the girl with curly hair.

That depends on how cheap the drinks are and how incriminating the night ends up :)

Tim Armstrong · January 2nd, 2008, 10:21 PM

Damn my timing chain! I really wanted to come up.

Sigh.

Thousand dollar car repair...

Sigh.

Yes, I think there is... $10 I think for the Jim Campilongo show... But there's a bar in the front so (I think) we can have a few beers before paying to see the show. It's been a while since I went to the Living Room and it's moved to a new venue since the last time I went...

it's a pretty small place. I reckon I'll find you guys... I'll be the only 6'4" English bloke there probably... (OK, I'll see if I can find a picture that's not too hideous...)

Man, this is just like online dating... Hey Chet... How's this supposed to work??

JohnnyCrash · January 2nd, 2008, 10:28 PM

HAHAHA

6'4"??!!

An "English bloke"? So you'll be the super tall dude drinking REAL beer (you know, its dark and actually has flavor), right? :)

I think I'll be able to find you :)

BritishBluesBoy · January 2nd, 2008, 10:28 PM

OK... Now I feel really silly...

You gotta post one now though OK???

cheers!

JohnnyCrash · January 2nd, 2008, 10:33 PM

I'm the dude on the right. I'm only 6' but Kid Ramos is a really short dude so I look like a giant:

BritishBluesBoy · January 2nd, 2008, 10:36 PM

Ahhh.... Yes... See, I knew I'd have no problem spotting you...

See you there mate!

Cool.

CDKopf · January 2nd, 2008, 11:51 PM

Nice pomp JC!! Do I need to start a hair thread?? What is it Murrays? Royal Crown? Black & White? I'll share my secrets if you share yours!!HA HA

Youre from LA right..do you know Rockin Ryan and the Real Goners..I stumbled on thier stuff while searchin for some 'billy on the web. those guys rock! Dont want to rave too much they might be your competition..

I used to use just Murrays. As time went on I started mixing Murrays with DAX pomade (75% Murrays, 25% DAX). I also used to use some sort of Australian bee wax for a while, forget the brand.

These days I'm just using some sort of hair glue punk rockers use for spikes and mohawks.

The pomade/grease used to melt in the stage lights and burn my eyes, which was funny. That's not why I quit using it though. The glue stays put even in hard winds.. all day long. With heat/etc pomade/grease would thin out so the back pocket comb started to be less usefull :)

Sometimes I would use Sweet Georgia Brown blue colored pomade to make my hair blue for some shows - I don't think they make the punk colors anymore though, it was over ten years ago.

Telenator · January 3rd, 2008, 05:24 AM

I just might be up for this. I live just 60 miles north of NYC so a qucik train ride to Grand Central Station and I'm there!

I would even suggest getting an earlier start to go out and do some gear shopping but NYC ain't what it used to be for music gear. 48th Street is a mere shadow of it's former glory. 30th Street Guitars (between 7th and 8th) is a real cool place to visit.

Anyone have an address where we might meet?

Hey man, we'd love to have you join us!!

Not sure about hitting 48th street... as you say - not what it once was... Johnny might be up for a bit of gear shopping earlier though...(??) We were planning on meeting at The Living Room at around 8.30 - but if you're gonna come down from your neck of the woods it would make sense to come earlier... Maybe we could grab a bite to eat somewhere?

What do you think?

JohnnyCrash · January 3rd, 2008, 11:23 AM

IDK man, there's a lot to see and limited time...

8:30 is cool with me, I don't think I could swing any earlier.

TJNY · January 3rd, 2008, 11:38 AM

I'd love to be there but I gotta work and then on call overnight. Too far for that. Have a great time though!!!

OK cool, so where is The Living Room?

That is a good question :)

chet · January 3rd, 2008, 01:17 PM

I would come up but it'd cost me about $50.00.

Have a good time tho'.

Murrays superlight in winter - Regular murrays in the summer. I used the Australian beeswax for a while Its made by murrays too. Had to melt it with a blowdryer just to get it to comb thru though...ugh

Damn I wish I could meet you guys - Ill bet you all are gonna have a blast.
