No Sleep til Brooklyn...

#1 Post by blackcoffee » Fri Aug 05, 2011 10:16 am

Hey Everyone,

This is an invite to anyone in the NYC area. I'm in town for business and am meeting up with Romeo (and maybe SR????) on Sunday in Brooklyn. Essence has domestic responsibilities that night so won't make it, but will be there in spirit.

Romeo suggested Joya at 215 Court St (between Wyckoff & Warren).

Come raise a glass to Sonny (and two glasses to Hoka for picking up the pieces!)

I'm shooting for being there at 6.

:lol: they have more than one. Williamsburg is teeming with them, they even have a bar with skee ball and have skee ball tourneys!


So we meeting there at 6?? That's cool!

NOW keep in mind, this place is "minimal" so there isn't a BIG sign out front. Just a small sign in the window

I wasn't implying that there is only 1 bar in the whole if Brooklyn. I was trying to remember the name of the one we went to.

I think that place we went to had the number 13 in the name. That place was cool.

Yep, it was Lucky 13...good times for sure...and the jukebox is CRAZY...everything from Bauhaus to Jane's to early RHCP to Metallica on down...they even have burlesque shows there on Thursday nights...and its nowhere near Williamsburg...I HATE that area... :no:

I think blackcoffee's been trying to hit me up but I've been in meetings all day...I may be able to swing by Sunday... :rockon:

Yea but a GOOD majority of the cool bars have really good jukeboxes now.

And I like the skee ball.

ES, not sure yet if Ariel is going to be Joya Sunday, he said wasn't sure which restaurant he'll be at sunday night but he'll let me know.

The only time you'll ever catch me in a bar now is if I'm playing somewhere...

Awww damn...haven't seen A in a long time, hope it turns out he is there though...

SR, there's a thread at ja.org about this band. Here is a copy of the post.

The show is Wed or Thursday I think...don't remember the venue. You'll have to look up their MYsPACE page or check club gig listings.

hey guys, i'm new in here..came over from xiola. i'm situated in NYC and was in 2 different bands on Vagrant Records (the Comas and Electric Owls) for a few years...when those projects broke down, i kinda came full-circle to Jane's and the passion for building a great live band...so, after a bit of searching and working...i'd love for you guys to check out mt new band, Fountains. just one singer, one guitar, one bass, and one drummer...here's a link to 3 songs we just finished mixing/mastering..mastering was done by Fred Kevorkian (White Stripes, Iggy Pop, The Walkmen, etc..) at Avatar Studios and we recorded the tracks with a guy named Cedar Apffel. all 3 songs are FREE to download or just stream 'em...lemme know whatcha think!! cheers!! here's the link: http://fountains.bandcamp.com/releases

SR you aren't too late. We're meeting for dinner tomorrow night around 6.

ES bad news, A is working at either National in Fort Greene or at Song on Park Slope :sad: he said to go to the one he'll be at but I don't want people not familiar with BK going out of their way.

Actually Fort Greene & the Slope are 10X easier to navigate imo...I'd have had very little trouble going to either area if I was available...to SR & blackcoffee, I'm available any time this week after 6pm & work in the city. I think I already sent you both my contact info...and SR, MOMA is right across the street from my office... :wink:

Everyone survived :lol: We were treated like the Z-List celebrities that we are! :wink:
We missed SR who was getting his drink on in Manhattan. By the time he got back to BK I was on my way home...SO....we're trying to pull something together for during the week, you in ES?

We actually started at Joya and ended up at Song...So, Blackcoffee got a little tour of Cobble Hill & Park Slope.
Drank Mojitos in both locals.
BUT when we got to Song, we were waiting for the table talking to A and at the first table (which we ended up sitting at) was Becky 1&3 from Roseanne. Remember, she was the original then replaced...then came back.... :laugh: She was with a guy with a funky looking comb over. A gives us that table which we named the "Z-list table", nothing but the best!

Nice to know Roseanne residuals are going towards his kids College fund! :hehe:

We almost made it. That dinner I was at in the city was my bride, her parents and sister, my kiddo and a dear friend and his girlfriend.

We started with about 6 dozen half shell chilled plates, apps, entree, dessert, and coursed wines. It took about 3 and a half hours and yet as the city has a tendency to do to me, was ready for round two in Brooklyn. I'll post some pics here of the trip; it was killer....effin love that city!

Whenever you guys are in LA, please contact.

Bummed I missed you guys!

Could of been worse...
You could of came during the winter & we had a blizzard :wink:

Like I said to blackcoffee lately we go from Miami swamp like heat to Minnesota freezing. We run the gamut! But in all seriousness nothing beats NY in the summer, so much going on all at once...street fairs, outdoor movie nights, pop-up beer gardens, outdoor music....
