I would say YES!! to both, but, in London when Venom are on and at ProgPower when Celtic Frost are playing. Yes, before you purge me, I booked my trip to PP before the Celtic Frost dates were announced.
 
I would just get on the subway -- that's what I'm doing. It's only 2 stops past Union Square, really pretty easy -- have a look.

Now, that said, we need to work out the timing because Emperor may not be finished until 11:30pm? I'm not sure how late we're all going to be out just because we'd need to get the trains back home....

My last train from NY Penn is leaving at 12:40am so I'm not sure if we're going to be wrapping things up once you get to Duffs.

I haven't really thought this through... because I'm not sure how late people want to stay out. Is this an all nighter thing where Zod catches the first Saturday morning train back to NJ?? lol

Precisely, this is pretty much what I was thinking as well. I was hoping for a place easy to walk to from B.B. King's so I could actually hang for a little while.

Wow 12:40 am from NY Penn? That means you probably have to leave Duff's at like 12:00 am or something right? If you need to catch a train from NY Penn at 12:40 am, there's no way we could hang in Brooklyn - I probably wouldn't even be able to get there until like 12:30 am at the earliest.

If necessary, I do have a room with an extra couch bed, and I probably could get a cot as well. Who's all going anyway?

I just figured we'd hang until we didn't want to hang no more. The last train out of Penn St. to NJ is 1:41AM. So I'm cool until then.

Yeah but even 1:41am is still quite early.....then again, it's not like we're coming out of a gig. We're starting at 6pm ish so that's a few hours right there.

Jason -- I might crash at yours, I'll let you know, because, yeah, leaving Manhattan on a Friday night by 12am is lame-o-matic.

I guess we'll see how we're feeling. If the night is rolling and we don't want to start the trek back at 12:30AM, I guess maybe we'll take residence on Jason's floor. However, by 12:30AM, we'll have been drinking for 6.5 hours. Given the wife and I will have rolled out of bed at 5:45AM that morning, I'm not sure how much more we'll be up for. Guess we'll see how the night progresses.

Jason... why not just blow off Emperor. They really do kind of suck.

As of now, I believe it's you, Ali, Aurel, Christina, Paula and I. Aurel may be bringing friends. I think he said something about knowing the chicks from the "Hostel' and that he'd be bringing them.

you want ot hang after 6pm? ... hmmm ... that is a bit too early to keep going all night ...

This is what DUFF'S HAS:

-killer jukebox
-total metal atmosphere
-losers everywhere
-outdoor patio for smoking, hanging
-dirt cheap booze
-old school style metal sluts hanging around
-mixed with some hipsters
-good chance of bumping into metal celebs

what it DOES NOT HAVE
-food (although they claim to bbq once in awhile, but I have not seen this)
-more than one person bathroom


ok, just to fuck things up even more ... down on 11th street some blocks away ... is the Brooklny Brewery ... from 6-11 pm on Fridays .... FRESH cheap beer and packed to the rafters ... no jukebox and no food here either, but Billburg has plenty of places to eat.
