This one is going to be in the apocalypse lounge in the east village. 189 east 3rd street. There's no cover charge but a 2 drink minimum and i think you're encouraged to give donations to the performers if you like them. It's just starting out so I might get two ten minute sets   but at least one.

Ok, I'll make this one.  Put up a reminder notice next week so I don't forget.  That's between A & B, right?  (Just south of the Park, I think)

im gonna try to make this one too...Ill reply back if I can

I'd love to go, but I'm going to be at my pre-orientation program for my freshman year of college, all the way in Pennsylvania  :(

Good luck!

i went to school in pennsylvania too. Which one are you going to?

Swarthmore College. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.

Swarthmore, huh? Sounds vague familiar. Probably because we faced them alot in sports being in the same conference and alll and the Swarthmore cross country coach was the F&M coach but he was "let go" right before i started because of some sort of administrative conflict.

Swarthmore College. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.


remember this, Swarthmore has the great honor or being mentioned in a Mamas and the Papas song....Ill let you figure out which.

Ethan, what time are you going on? 

I wish i knew when i was going on I'm supposed to show up around 8 and then I find out when my set or sets are. So it should be some time between 8 and ten thirty. I know the ereference but I omitted my answer so Charlie can guess.

this is happening tomorrow

Good luck Ethan. I wished I could get the hell out of VA for a few days and check out one of your performances. Any way of recording it and maybe posting on Soundclick?

Ethan, as one stage performer to another, I say to you ---

BREAK A LEG !

(For those who don't know --- saying "break a leg" is how show-biz people wish each other good luck!)

I don't see how it can be recorded and it'll be acapella anyway, but i think there's a pretty good chance of there being a next time

Hope it goes well for you Ethan

i'm supposed to go up 8th and then 15th so my sets will probably be at 9:30 and 11

Hello Johnny_D, I am a showbiz veteran myself.  Mostly local and regional theater, but I did a television commercial once too.  We also say break a leg out here in Toledo.  So to Ethan, I will also say BREAK A LEG!  ;D  Perhaps us showbiz chaps can get together for a chat someday and swap war stories.  :D

I was stuck in the Nonsense office till 830 tonight, so Im sorry that I couldnt be there.....Hope everything went well.

i am absolutely stunned that you felt the need to explain that figure of speech.  floored, in fact.  i am actually on the floor.  it is almost condescending that you would assume that the rest of us non-acting folk are complete idiots.  you know, i work in construction, but i don't walk around telling non-construction people what 'pass me that hammer' means.  (which, while totally literal, is no more obvious in meaning than 'break a leg' is.)

Uh, dude.

It's Johnny D.

Compared to him, we ARE complete idiots. 

Good luck, Ethan!  Pass me the hammer! 

Luke says you'll knock 'em dead.

I'm at fault once and I'm at circumstance once (and I'm going to stop talking like that now). It's my fault for being a lazy bum that I didn't comment on this thread soon (Hope things went well, Ethan). It's my circumstance that I work until later on Wednesdays and could not get into the city.

So once again, hope things went well, Ethan. Come on man, tell us the story of your night. How was it, how'd it go?

This messageboard is read by people all over the world --- many of whom do not speak English as their first language.   

Some of those people might not be familiar with figures-of-speech that are "obvious" in America, Britain, Australia, and Canada. 

I provided that explanation as a courtesy to THEM, not as an insult to YOU, capisca?

"Pass me that hammer."

Very good response Ritardando.

Ethan, I apologize for missing your set(s) - were you on at 11 midnight, midnight, or 1 midnight this time?

When is the next set (after Aug. 24)?

I think it went pretty well... people told me I did well afterwards. And next time, whenever that is, I'm going with backing tracks so it should be better. It should be sometime in september but no set date yet  the organizer told me to set something up with him in a few weeks.
