I plan to spend a week or so in NYC in september so if you have any suggestions of place to go, things to do and whatever else you might think of please post it so that I can plan things properly. I don't plan to hit the big tourist things apart from the Guggenheims, maybe the Metropolitan museum of art and nothing else that I can think of.

the museum of sex is really awesome and not that big of an attraction. also: central park zoo. whitney museum (contemporary crazyface art stuff). canal street just because it's crazy and they have the weirdest cheapest stuff all over the place.
walk over the brooklyn bridge.

CBGBs

heh, Canal street... I felt like I was in a Lou Reed song when I walked down that street.

 

[Nut Butter]

If I was you, I'd ketch a show at the Knitting Factory.

yyeaahh the museum of sex is kinda neat! i stayed in the hotel next door to it last year's valentine's day weekend and checked it out.

i also concur with canal street and Chinatown.

 

[mindspell]

I plan to catch as many shows as I can, providing I can find a good place online to buy my tickets for other stuff than the ticketmaster events, and maybe arrange things so that I don't have to pay for a couple of them

 

[minxnim]

god i was at the knitting factory last night what a friggin train wreck

 

[avi]

there's always a bazillion things going on so it shouldn't be a problem finding stuff to do. just make sure to check when museums are open on what days - I made the mistake of not checking in advance and ended up fucking myself over and missing out on various venues b/c they were closed on the days I set aside to visit.

 

[minxnim]

most shows you can just get tickets at the door i mean, for smaller stuff.

The venue or the show? 'Cause I don't mind shitty venues as long as there's a good vibe. Like last year I went to Tonic a couple of times, what a shitty place but what a great fuggin' vibe!

 

[mindspell]

I know, I just don't want to be fucked for a show I really want to see. I also think I have a Indian buffet eating contest planned for some meal during the trip....

 

[minxnim]

well i guess the whole night was just really confusing but i definitely was NOT blending in at the show.

 

[minxnim]

haha well if it's in sept. i may be in japan but i mean, who knows? maybe california? or maybe i'll be around. so when the time comes lemme know.

 

[mindspell]

I am not sure when in Sept yet so I'll let you know.

 

[minxnim]

cool well if i am in the city IT'S ON and i am bringing my entourage.


also: if you look in the village voice you can find shows in the city. then call the clubs and see where to get the tickets. a lot of times you just buy them from the smaller clubs. also i could probably get you on lists if you know ahead of time.

 

[mindspell]

Cool, I will continue to check out the stuff that I wouold like to see and let you know as soon as I do.

... I wonder what a Minx posse looks like..

 

[minxnim]

it's pretty crazy trust me

 

[chupe666]

yeah, i saw a documentary about the brooklyn bridge and walking across it looked like a cool thing to do- like a classic NY kind of thing. screw the statue of liberty.

also:
- go to the top of the Empire State Bldg, fall in love and/or marry someone and/or be deserted
- become Wall Street tycoon, have Reality TV show where you fire people
- make it there
- join Yankees, win pennant but then get busted for donut theft
- make it anywhere
- join mob, eat spaghetti, and kill everyone in a small italian eatery
- plan bloody futuristic escape with kurt russell

go to one of those Indian restaurants in the old train cars and tell them it's your birthday.
