Awh.



I hope you went with your gut on this one. Small people punching things is funny. Also, the lead singer has had it coming.

yeah no. no punching happened.
i don't mind the singer, it's the head on the bass player that makes me see red for some reason. they were quite good fun live though. i couldn't get the phrase "as gay as a christmas goose" out of my head.

tonight i'm on the guestlist for cradle of filth. grimmmmmm, etc. or possibly not.

Ian - Have you booked your hotel yet?

If not, can i recommend this: http://www.parkcentralny.com

Great location on 57st and 7th Ave, we got a great deal here, $800 for 5 nights and it's a nice hotel too.

Only been to New York for a day and that was a few years ago. Always been meaning to go back and this thread is making me especially crazy to go again really soon.

What's with all the backstagery?

Are you some sort of impresario?

i'm staying with radiohead's tour manager and his wife who does some sort of music industry thing. your man goes sailing with my da which is how i know them. i never bothered going to COF in the end -- we went to the cinema (that new david fincher yoke is quite good) and by the time we got out the show had already started and i couldn't be arsed.

i'm moving to Cold Spring on the Husdon River ASAP.

Has anyone here gone to New York for a while and been able to find work without papers/visa? There's a bunch of us lads bailin across in the summer but the aul saving isn't going too well. Anybody got any tips as to where to get some fuckin woik?

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

Yeah. Getting sponsorship is no joke. You wanna see the shit they went through to get me over.

Emm... can you not get a J1, and then leg it over here, and get a job in a bar maybe? There are a fair few irish places around the Village, and even right down in the financial district. You could give that a lash.

Thing is.. they are all pretty tricky to get around NYC. If you get one though, you will be minted. MINTED I tell ya!

Some of the small towns on the Hudson are incredibly beautiful. The kind of places you'd retire to if you were going to write a novel.

Personally, though, I think "antiquing" might get a bit wearing after a while.

Removal companies are usually looking for hardy young bucks to hump furniture around the place.

Good call.


A lot of those lads seem to be Israeli, but, there might be a couple of paddy firms out there.
