Aarrgh!!! Lost my glasses this morning on the g*ddamn subway! (Not that it's the subway's fault, but once that train pulled out of the station, I knew my specs were gone for good). So I guess I'll have to move even closer to the stage tonite and/or have my wife describe the Barney dance to me as it happens. Well, i've still got my hearing -- for now.

So I guess barring huge car or traffic issues, I will be in NYC around 4 pm. I'll look for the TGIF - is it easy to find? I'm easy to spot, look for Black dude about 6ft with an Eng-er-land football t-shirt. Otherwise I will revel with you lot at the show itself...
If TGIF ends up being prohibitively expensive for drinks (which it was the last time I was there) there's also two bars on 8th Ave. between 30th and 31st called the Blarney Stone and Molly Wee's that will probably be a lot cheaper. My wife and I will be drinking margaritas at the Blarney Stone around 6:30 - 7:00 if anyone wants to join us!
I CANT WAIT!!!!
been reading these forums and listenign to their albums all day at work. like everyone else here, going to be the best night of my life!!!

It's midtown dude. Not shady at all. Just good luck finding parking, that's all. If you can't find a spot on the street, you will end up paying an arm and a leg for a garage.
Thanks for the info, Afro. I can't wait for the show tonight! It's been 12 years since my last NO show and I'm completely psyched. Heading out from Baltimore in about 15. I'll see you all at TGIF around 4.

Well, I have just been to the venue, it's really just in fact of the Loew's movie theater and TGIF is just on the corner... really.
It's like a 1 minute walk from Madison Square Garden...

WOW!! That's awesome! Even thought I hate that song, its a nice touch. God I hope my friend is holding my spot in line by the time I get there.
Sorry if i missed this earlier in the post, but I thought Arthur Baker was opening/Dj'ing tonight before New Order, but then i saw that Dragonette is playing, does that mean no Arthur Baker? I hope he'll be there at same point!!! Thanks....

Sorry, can't say... I don't know this time, I didn't meet anybody in NYC, it's more complicated than it was in Chicago really ;)

I knew it:) Great news. Only other show I've seen there actually was her band. Fun show.
Last minute heads up, if you want a t-shirt get them before the concert, they sold out in Chicago!

I sure hope she's as good as the tape they've been using!!
Isn't it strange by the way that two grenades exploded right in front of the United Kingdom's embassy in New York last night, just when New Order are in town ?

OK who doesn't want the Order to play?
and have they voted?
First review, based on Spotnick's phone calls during the show :
Krafty, She's Lost Control and Atmosphere were played. :D
More news to come! 
P.S. Someone's gonna have quite a long distance bill !!!!!
My freind from NY called me during Temptation and then again for Atmosphere and Blue Monday. Can't wait to see the set list.
