I am officially protesting the combination of Scissor Sisters and
Morningwood!!!! Take it from me...the last thing you want near your Morningwood is a Sister with a pair of Scissors!

for fun energy, Merc. Lounge or Southpaw.

for pure talent, definitely Bowery.

The tough one is Thursday. Too many good free shows. M. Ward is great, The Donnas have OKGO opening(http://www.okgo.net/news.aspx?newsid=6637), and UCB in Central Park.

The poor deserve more options, sure, but spread 'em out a little for us.

deciding whether or not to see hte cribs/hardfi/nine black alps/sam champion show, are taking a day of rest is the hardest choice all week.

the first half on the month's been lackluster, but this week is way too busy.

if you are lucky enough to have a ticket to either mercury or southpaw, that is where you should go. They are both sold out, no?
if you have a ticket to both, that is unfair, so please sell me one, preferably the mercury ticket.
