[Bonochick]

Battery Park 4th of July Concert - Ryan Adams

Celebrate Independence Day in beautiful Historic Battery Park as singer/songwriter Ryan Adams takes the stage with his unique brand of pop-infused alt-countrywith opening act Jesse Malin. Bring a blanket and enjoy the Fourth of July in the Park.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Gates open at 1:30, Jesse should be on around 4:30, no alcohol, coolers, or bags.

As Ryan said on his message board...this show is "free as fuck".

Ryan's site doesn't have it listed as a tour date, but Jesse's does: http://www.jessemalin.com/shows.html

I picked the wrong time to go to NYC.

 

[Bonochick]

What I wouldn't give to be at that show.

A lot of people from Ryan's message board are going, and people made me offers that would save me money on the trip, but I still can't spend the money.

Ryan & Jesse

I wish you could come, BC. I'm thinking about making the trip. I'd let you crash at my place.

 

[Bonochick]

Trust me, I'm tempted. I've always wanted to go to NYC, and I thought this would be perfect timing. But even the money to travel to and fro is something I shouldn't spend. Thanks for the offer though...much appreciated!

I hope you are able to go...I'm sure it will be incredible.

It's true.

Jesse Malin is the opening act.

The crazy guy who used be a MTV VJ???

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

cool... i hope he plays summer of 69

i'm not even a ryan fan, and i'm already sick of this joke, just from this forum.

 

[Bonochick]

The crazy guy who used be a MTV VJ???

No!!!!

I think that guy was Jesse Camp. Jesse Malin used to be in the punk bands Bellvue and D Generation. His latest release was a solo album though.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I think that guy was Jesse Camp.

i recognized it after you said it.

 

[u2popmofo]

No!!!!

I think that guy was Jesse Camp. Jesse Malin used to be in the punk bands Bellvue and D Generation. His latest release was a solo album though.

Hehe, I know. Everytime I hear Jesse Malin's name though, I automatically think of Jesse Camp. Not a pretty picture in my head.

I'm sure Jesse's MTV VJ-ing was a huge blow to all Jesse's worldwide. When it came to oddness, that guy wasnt messing around.

 

[Bonochick]

That is such a sad name association.

Jesse

 

[dizzy]

Jesse's awesome live! And funny too. I've yet to see Ryan in concert.

I think I should go to NYC for this.

 

[sharky]

i was going to say I would try to go but I already have july 4 plans. mmm.....lobster.....

 

[pax]

I'd really like to go, but I don't know anyone else who's going.

 

[pax]

Oh my gosh!!!

I'm on IM with a friend of mine who's living in NYC for the summer, and we might go together! Woohoo!!!

::crosses fingers::

 

[Bonochick]

When Ryan asked me what I wanted, my friends at the Ryan board said I should have asked him to fly me out to NYC for the concert and to be able to stay at his place.

 

[pax]

It looks like it might actually happen--I'm hoping this works.

I haven't been to NYC for fun since 2001 (I was there on a service trip last year).

 

[diamond]

so whats all the hype w this guy?
whats his music sound like anyway?

DB9

 

[Bonochick]

If you want, diamond, I can make you a CD of some Ryan tunes you might like.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

that's quite the bill they got there...

 

[pax]

The Bryan Adams jokes stopped being funny after the first one.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i dunno i still find them to be quite ammusing... maybe if the guy didn't blow a hissy fit everytime someone says a brian adams joke it wouldn't be quite as funny... but hey, that's just me. i'm probably gonna be in the city on the 4th, so i might just have to make a little trip downtown to see if someone yells out a waking up the neighbor's reference, just to get the chance to see the little whiner go ape do-do on the guy

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the real question is... do people shout out ryan adams requests at brian adams concerts? hmmm... perhaps we should ask cujo, he seems to be the logical one to go to for such an important matter of canadian national security

 

[Bonochick]

Here's a bump, as I know a few of you are going.

A friend of mine at a Ryan board just posted this:

~~~~~~~~~~

Gates open at 2pm (but getting there early'd still be a good idea), enter through the State Street Entrance.

Want to hear it for yourself?
212-835-2789 option 4

~~~~~~~~~~

Have fun, those who are going!!!!! I am insanely jealous!!!!!

 

[pax]

Meh. I might not be going now.

Details to follow on MSN later, possibly.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Damnit.


When the heck did you get msn pax?
