this is going on right now and I should probably be there (free, music, outdoors etc), but i already missed Man Man and Tropical Malady is showing at MOMA at 6:45 and I've never seen it. My friend said he went last year and it miserable, crowded, and vomit-saturated. i might just cut my losses at make sure to go see Dead Meadow for free tomorrow at 3:00 at mccarren park.
Is anyone still going? Has gone before?

Thinking about going to this this year. I really want to see Japandroids, Frightened Rabbit, and Micachu and the Shapes and I'm always up for BtS. That said, is it going to be really horrible and hot and just not worth it? I mean it's FREE and it's at Coney Island which I've never been to. Also, good excuse for w/e in NYC.

it's probably going to be hot (or rainy), and apart from the concert it's not the best day to go to Coney (and this isn't the best summer to go there, though it may only get worse), and the sound can suck, so yeah at least a little horrible, but I think it's still gonna be a nice venue for BtS and maybe some others if you'd rather do that than King Sunny Ade in Prospect Park.
― Reggiano Jackson (gabbneb), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 15:47 (seventeen years ago)
It's definitely fun, sunny, full of yummy fried foods and worth going to if you legitimately excited about the bands. And Monotonix are going to be AMAZING in that venue, assuredly.
However, New Yorkers LOOOOOVE their free shows and this shit gets crowded well beyond the acceptable boundaries of crowded. I've made it a point to consciously avoid the majority of clusterfuck free shows unless I'm totally amped on the bands. Which is probably why the whole McCarren thing blew by me.

yeah last year was crowded as fuck and also HOT but i had a decent enough time, got to see some solid bands and a personal hero, and plus it was free

try and get vip; it's the way to see this

Well, I'm sure that would be great but I have no idea how I'd even begin to try and do so!
― Chaki Demus & Pliers (ENBB), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 17:14 (seventeen years ago)
All you have to do is move to New York, get a job working in the music industry, and make all the proper connections!
It's really the way to see this apparantly
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 18:27 (seventeen years ago)
yeah, the sound gets aggressively shittier almost immediately after you leave the press area.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 18:54 (seventeen years ago)
okay, okay, dumb comment on my part
― pending echeques (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 18:56 (seventeen years ago)
no it's not! srsly if you aren't right near the front the sound is ass.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 18:58 (seventeen years ago)
at least it was in 04, the only time i've gone.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 18:59 (seventeen years ago)
my experience as well, but it's kind of like saying "you know where you should sit? the good seats"
― pending echeques (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 19:58 (seventeen years ago)
if the sound sucks balls beyond a few yards from the stage, I'd want to know.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 20:06 (seventeen years ago)
You two should brag about your jobs more. ENBB isn't even allowed to use YouTube at work apparently.
