Great scott: Arlene Smith, Peter Stampfel, and Seymour Stein? All on one stage? This could be one of the Dada events of the year. I hereby order you to go and report! (Okay, it's optional, but...what a lineup).
I would love to but I'm not too sure about making that one as we're usually up in Woodstock on Fridays. Also, I won't be making the one on the 18th because I'll be at this with a friend: http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/schedule/search/film/?id=9550
I'll keep you posted.
Check that link Ed. I think it will interest you.
what a great book!
Yea, KB, if you make the one on the 7th, please report on what goes down. This book is a friggin' monster - I'd love to hear Tony and all his great guests ruminate on their part in NYC music history. Photos would be nice as well. If you go that is.
No promises but I'll see what I can do.
