Free Neko Case tickets (set times?) & other stuff To Do

Neko Case, Joanna Newsom, and Martha Wainwright are playing one of the $$$$ shows at McCarren Pool in Brooklyn tonight (Aug 24, 2006). Joanna Newsom goes on second, and I think at 7pm (I guess be there by 6 if you want to definitely catch Martha). The government is giving away tickets again (“must be able to prove residency in zip codes 11211, 11206, 11221, 11385” this time) (thx Bao).

Also tonight in Williamsburg, and most likely late enough to do after Neko: Flipper @ Northsix

Also tonight: The My Brightest Diamond CD release party at the Spiegeltent.

Also tonight: The Roots & Moby @ Crobar

Also tonight: Jennifer O’Connor’s CD release party @ Joe’s Pub

Also tonight: Tokyo Police Club @ The Annex (midnight). They’re in town to open for Ted Leo at the Seaport tomorrow. Meg & Dia are also playing The Annex @ 8.
