Looking for concert buddies for Arcade Fire + Fleet Foxes in New York City on 11/14/09!

Harold Wright54 said:I want in!

Man, you're exactly who we need. 👍

Hit me up via DM or shoot an email to my cell so we can hash out the details, you know, all that stuff. 🙂

Preach.

Kyle Jackson54 said:I'll say it again—we've been living in a capitalist system for 20 years now where we shouldn't even need an institution like that to handle major events.

🙂

You pretty much nailed it. People who can't see past the immediate hype... they probably just aren't going to get it anyway. 🤷

Nick isn't saying we should be worried, he's just pointing out that when I spot a Radiohead poster 😍 my snobby eyes won't be busy squinting at the margins trying to figure out if it was sold at SC or not. 🤷

Matt's last post was actually pretty spot on.

Same here. He laid it all out there—super direct. I guess everything should be crystal clear to everyone now.

As far as I'm concerned, it is.

That's a nice sentiment, I guess, but it doesn't really change much for this debate. 🙂

It’s all a bit much, isn't it?

What were we even doing back when we were students and the old administration was still running things? Just constantly sneaking into SC? 🤷

I feel like that guy in Alan Ford who refuses to pay just two million in taxes because he insists on paying FIVE! 😬

Jesse Sanchez60 said:trying to jump into a bidding war against at least two other promoters already eyeing Arcade Fire is just pointless...
because at the end of the day, we just want the show to happen. I don't care who's pulling the strings...

Fair point, obviously. But if you're the only ones capable and actually interested in bringing in a killer band, yet you're holding back because you're too chicken to charge a decent ticket price $33 then you're just missing out 🙂 because, honestly, great music should always come before ego. Even if that's a principle itself, whatever. Anyway, I'm just glad this crew managed to land a fourth date in New York City.

Look, Hrvoje, you’ve completely lost the plot now. Seriously, what are we supposed to do—start calling everyone sellouts just because they choose to book shows on their own terms instead of yours? By what logic is SC obligated to bring in Arcade Fire just to satisfy you? 🙂

Not really. But honestly, I think it’s pretty lame, just like you might think it’s lame that I even said anything. That doesn't mean Matt, my brother, and I care about them any less, or that we aren't grateful for everything they've done and the incredible experiences they've given us. Look, don't take me too seriously—I'm not calling them losers or accusing them of anything, and I'm all for people doing whatever they want. It just means that for ME, the principle behind it is lame. I don't have to agree with every single thing Borg does, for crying out loud.

ps if gentlepuma20 doesn't come through with that solid performance, I'm gonna be pretty bummed out 😢

Adam Moore said:I don't have to agree with everything Borg says, for heaven's sake.

Come on, you're too smart to be spouting this nonsense. You don't actually believe that, do you? That David and I always see eye to eye? I can't recall a single instance where we actually agreed on anything...🙏

Look, I know plenty of people have already told me I’m a complete idiot 😬 but seriously, don't take me too seriously 😉 peace and love, man—I really don't want this turning into one of those stressful online flame wars that leaves me with an upset stomach all day 😢

Yeah, Matt! Forget about Wilco, just bring Pavement instead! HAHA! 😬

I’m a total amateur too, so I haven't read this thread from the start. 🙏 I thought Matt was just asking who wanted to help bring Arcade Fire to NYC. 🙏

I'm skipping the trip to New York on the 14th because Paul Di'Anno is playing in the States again. 🙏

What a joke. 🙏

American promoters are all over Arcade Fire. It's wild. 😲

But honestly, what do I care about shows at Madison Square Garden or the Bowery Ballroom when Analen is playing at The Fillmore soon? 😍 I'd rather just grab some friends and road trip to Minneapolis and cause some trouble. 👍

Rachel Roberts3, have you been drinking? 😁 Analen is playing at The Fillmore soon... lol

Trokute, you’re being completely out of line here. People have laid out some seriously solid arguments, and all you’ve got to say is "losers." Then you go and pull the Borg argument? Honestly, I didn't expect that from you. 🤷

I think taking the high road is actually the only way to go—and honestly, the world would probably be a better place if more people actually lived by some principles. Principles ftw 🙂

Yep! Just sipping on some black coffee and snacking on a crust of bread here!

And I've got the local news on!

I'm gonna head out before Google
