Sadly, I'm finding myself in the same position as Dan. Somehow thought tickets would be no prob. for tonight's show... Tried buying them online, but it indeed seems to be sold-out that way. The Knit's box office doesn't open until 4pm, so I'm hoping to find out more then. In the meantime, if any of my typical brethren find themselves with an extra ticket, I would REALLY appreciate a hook-up!! I'm in Manhattan and can meet here or at the club before the show, and of course, I'll pay your costs. Having been a Raincoats fan most of my life, since buying their first album at 99 Records on the basis on the cover and Ed Bahlman's assertion that it was a good choice, writing the band in England around 1981 to inquire about getting their lyrics and receiving a lovely booklet with that and more, along with a sweet note, and reviewing ODYSHAPE in my high school newspaper (I think my Springsteen- and Benatar-loving classmates were a bit nonplussed), I will be quite crushed if I can't see this show. : ** (

Thank you for whatever help you can provide, typical friends!!

I think bklyn is sold out? I didn't get tickets because I was going to see them in LA, but they were so good we wanted to go again, but couldn't get tickets.

HOWEVER, I just found out about this, saturday night Ana Da Silva is playing her first US solo show in bushwick:

I can't make that either, but thought everyone should know!

On a different topic, while at the Part Time Punks fest, James Nice of LTM sold me a copy of the Rob Gretton notebooks book, 1 Top Class Manager, which is just coming out now. I figured I'd save on shipping by picking it up then. It's basically a straight up reprinting of Gretton's notebooks from the very early days of managing Joy Division to the early days of New Order, and it includes sundry items such as some flyers and receipts and correspondence and notes. I'm not going to pretend this book is of any interest to anyone who doesn't live and breath Joy Division/New Order, but it's pretty amazing, and our very own Joly makes a few appearances in the form of Better Badges contracts and invoices!
