Avalon NYC friday

[MFI]

So who's going, doors open at 8 pm.

[Dexter Rutecki]

Still don't know. Just can't get over the whole Limelight, club kid, stupid $20 cover asshole bouncer thing.
But if anyone wants me to pick up tix for them so they don't have to pay a service charge I can probably do that.

[jstead]

So Avalon is the old Lime Light?

Do you have to buy tickets in advance or can you pick them up at the door?

[Mtn Man]

I'm still in. May bring a few from my harem

Are we trying to pregame again or just show there?

BTW, the DVD is amazing! This movie rocks!

Dex, I may take you up on those no service charge tix. I'll email you.

I am definitely going. I have my tix at the door. I have to bring some people in at 8 but would be stoked for a pregame. Prolly mid-town would be best since that is where the show is. Hope we can rally more than just 2 NYC mags for this gig. Should be a killer party.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Imma try and make it up; game-time decision as always. I'd be getting into Penn station, is the Avalon nearby? Keep in mind that I usually get lost about 30 seconds after getting off the train when I go to NYC.

[elevens]

I'll be there

If Avalon is what was the lime light. You can hop on the ath and get offf two blocks away.

you could always just get a cab and give them the address and hope for the best.

[MFI]

ok, it's looking good. I'll be there at 8, prolly get some food before. Come on Dex, the weather sucks, this might help. I haven't been to a club in a while either but am willing to give it a shot.
As far as getting there, you could walk from Penn. Penn is on 33rd and 7th ave, Avalon is on 20th and 6th. It's an easy walk, just go out the 7th ave. exit and make a right, walk to 20th and make a left down to 6th ave.
Since Hunter mountain just melted on me I need this, even taking the day off for it. The jonesing is at maximum right now.

[Dexter Rutecki]

Yeah, it's Limelight. Short walk from Penn Stn (10 minutes, maybe). Go to Sixth and walk down to 20th(?), it's the church building on the east side (side further from Penn Stn) of Sixth.
Oops, or follow MFI's directions. Same thing.
Bring Wildbill with you.

Isn't he mildbill? Then again, after climbing street lights and kushing the sidewalks and bushes dictates that he's back to his old ways

What are pregame options in the area? We're talking midtown, right? Hopefully there's on street parking so I don't have to pay 30 bucks

Prolly won't make it but if y'all are looking for a good old timely bar/burger joint in the hood I highly reccomend this one:

Enjoy the show for me, since I'll be recovering from surgery. Mtn. Man, learn to start taking the train into the city- easier than parking, and gives you time to sober up on the ride home.

[Dexter Rutecki]

Mtn. Man, if I'm there I'll probably drive downtown (I actually used to live two blocks crosstown from there). Best bet for parking is probably on 5th above 23rd, that's where I'd check first, anyway. Parking in Chelsea at that time on Friday nights gets tough. I wouldn't bother looking too much within the immediate vicinity of the Limelight.

The train is a pain in the arse from where I live. The Bergin Line only goes to the Path. Then you take the Path in. There's no straight shot to Penn Station. We're talking probably over an hour train ride when it takes me less than half the time by car. Parking in the con of it all. I can find street parking in most places except midtown.

Good luck with the surgery today!

Thanks for the tip, we'll head straight to 23rd and 5th. What burger bars are around there? Could use a quick bite and a beer before the gig. Maybe meet a few magmins there.

See Paging NYC maggots thread. See you guys tonight.

[elevens]

I'll be there with a smile on my face. Miss Elevens might even make a showing - if i can assure her that it won't be a bunch of bro's yelling sweet and dude.

See you around 8 -

Dex - lift up some of your sofa seats & scrape together the $$$.

Pray for snow -

Hate to bring this up, but does anyone know if this joint has a dress code, being that it's a club on a Friday night???

I'm most comfy in the jeans, fleece and hat but don't want to be turned at the door because I don't fit the bill. I have a feeling that a lot of people will be turned at the door if they DO have a dress code, that would royally suck.

Anyone, anyone?

I am in for tonight but I am thinkin about this dress code thing. Will they block me from coming in for sporting hiking boots and jeans?

[Mtn Man]

Just called Avalon, here's the direct quote on dress code:

"The dress code is upscale and trendy, no jeans or sneakers."

I have a feeling this is gunna screw a lot of people. The majority of people that go to these things wear jeans. Usually you can't wear hats to a club either.

I'll be there, just have to grab a pair of khakis on the way and ditch the hat. As for the trendy part, I may be in trouble

I hope TGR has a talk with the club otherwise, this could get ugly.

[Honc]

I'm still dressing like waldo. TGR has to have some say in this dress code bit, right?

ONS, little help please.

He's checking with the tour manager now.

[MFI]

I doubt the dress code is optional or negotiable. Dress your best, no sneakers and you should be fine. Some of these clubs are real picky, but with the movie playing it should be no prob. It's Friday night so they will have their regular crowds coming in later, we will be only a small part of it.
