Yah I'm bailing on the NYC show. But NYCtaper.com is scheduled to tape, so we know there will be 1 show circulating at least.

I'm going to the Met. But I have no taping gear, nor do I know anything about doing it

[harrymcq]

Alright.. CHANGE IN PLANS.... My wife and I are flying out for these shows..... we need to see the slip. Looking into flights and places to stay right now. Look forward to seeing some of y'all. God willing I will be recording both!

p.s. good to see others of y'all at HSMF this past weekend!!!!

Nice, Harry! If you're flying out, I totally feel like a wimp for bailing on driving down. I'd been planning to drive down for Providence, but I have to stick around Burlington Friday, and I just don''t think I can do 9+ hours in the car in two days.

I have many fond memories of road trips to Slip shows with Paul & Fred, Cleantone, Chloe, Tasoula and others, but I think my days of 10-hour drives in 24 hours seem to be over. I suppose I do have a good excuse. Is it weird that not being up for a long drive for a show somehow makes me feel older than the thought of being someone's Mom? Ha.

I'm hoping a SMMD show gets added in Montreal. That's more my kind of travel these days.

[harrymcq]

Yeah High Sierra was amazing but we'd normally get at least 2 slip sets and probably a whole bunch of Davis so I'm certainly jonesing for that special sound. I'm afraid Brooklyn is gonna be a short show as it looks like it starts at 8 and then Questlove has bowl train with doors at 10:30. That leads me to guess The Slip has 2 hours or less... which would be fine but I hope things don't run too late and we just get a 1 hour set or something.

Right now talking to friends and looking into el-cheapo NYC hotels... Got a train ticket and hotel for Providence!!!

[harrymcq]

So who else is on board for these? I'm getting pretty excited!

[booher]

Haven't bought my ticket yet, but I'm going to the Providence show Saturday.

harrymcq, et al.,

I'm fairly new to the Board (see latest post - Brighton Music Hall), but I've always liked the band and I honestly never realized the following they had on the west coast b/c of HSMF. My GF (currently a SF resident, but soon moving to Cambridge, ma =) is a HSMF vet and she and her crew love these guys. Sadly she did HSMF again this year (sans the trio or SMMD, but you still got Nathan Moore > I did SUPERBALLIX!!!

Anyways (wow, I can space out while typing or talking) - Love to say hello to some ppl from the site at the PVD (Met) show.

Ffffffuuuuuuuuu, my friend backed out on the show on me. Looks like I'm riding solo.

[harrymcq]

Feel free to come and say hey, I will be one of the guys recording at least. Can't wait! Invite all your friends in reality and Facebook too, I'm sure if the guys got a half-decent turnout they would be more excited to play more often... One can hope! Anyway I am so psyched to be hearing the slip play soon regardless... There was a big hole in my year with no slip at hsmf so it will be good to get a fix...

I curated an 8 track Slip mixtape at Dog Gone Blog today in celebration of tonight's show. Give it a listen!
