SATURDAY - 11.22.08 - 11P - ELECTRIC COMPANY - UTICA, NY:
Kennedy had his Dallas, I have Utica, NY.?I’ve never played Utica, NY.?I don’t know a soul in Utica, NY. I don’t know anyone within a 100 mile radius of Utica, NY. There are no other acts on the bill. This is a full band show. Do the math.?
PLEASE HELP - Kennedy had his Jim Garrison, I have you, my faithful fans. Do YOU know anyone within a 100 mile radius of Utica, NY? PLEASE send them out. They can open the show for all I care. All I know is it’s 5 and a half hours to Utica, NY, which is 11 hours round trip. Do the math.
I’d love to play to at least 1 person for each hour on the road and each person in the band (it’s a four piece). Do the math*.
Despite where we’re playing, Rita Moreno, Morgan Freeman AND Spiderman have all sent their regrets and will NOT be able to attend. But, Rita and Morgan did send this along:
Rita: M
Morgan: T
Rita and Morgan: Empty
Hey, that’s not nice, and I’m not even sure that’s proper phonics. But they do have a point. Please help spread the word.?
The Recap:
Saturday, 11.22.08 - 11p
JIM BOGGIA (full band)
The Electric Company
700 Varick Street - Utica, NY
315.792.9271
$5. 21+. No opener. No Rita Moreno. No Morgan Freeman. No Spiderman (unless there’s an incident with a nefarious underworld crime syndicate, but you can’t predict those kinds of things, though I was watching Fox News the other day and they seem to think it will be much more likely during an Obama administration).
*15
WEDNESDAY, 11.26.08 - 8P - STEEL CITY - PHOENIXVILLE, PA:
Kennedy had his Camelot, I have Steel City. Always warm, always friendly, always sold out. A 100 to 1 audience to performer ratio. I did the math for you.
A pre-Thanksgiving throwdown and the last gig of the year for me. Let’s share it together in the spirit of the settlers and the Indians before we took their land.
Opening up the show (yes, there’s even an opener, take THAT Spideman!) are my friends Kaiser-Cartel. I don’t just like them because they’re my labelmates (no, really, that’s not it), and I STILL like them even though they live in Brooklyn (it happens). Make sure to get there early so you can be their friends, too (I can’t really make any promises about you becoming their labelmates, but you COULD move to Brooklyn, if you were into that kind of thing, it’s kinda expensive though and the Phillies did kick the Mets’ asses*).
