BEIRUT playing Brooklyn Masonic Temple & other news
It went something like this...
1) It leaked that Beirut would play NYC 3 times in September
2) Two NYC shows were announced
3) One @ the Society for Ethical Culture went on sale
4) One in Central Park went on sale
Now finally today the third show is announced, and tickets are on sale, and it's in Brooklyn @ The Brooklyn Masonic Temple in Fort Greene (map) on September 20th. The opener is Fifth Veil - a clarinet-with-string-quartet group from the Bard College Conservatory of Music that will perform composer Osvaldo Golijov's "The Dreams and Prayers of Issac the Blind" (1994), which combines Klezmer clarinet playing with classical string quartet writing. Three shows - three intersting venues.

Does anyone know how to get tickets to the Princeton show? I haven't seen them posted anywhere online, is it strictly for students? Thanks.

"Do they use words?"
Yes. It's a confusing title, but they will.

A Sunday show in September at Princeton could mean only one thing: Lawnparties. Fortunately for you folks, Terrace has historically allowed non-students to attend theirs.
The address is:
62 Washington Road, Princeton
Be prepared for lots of pastel and seersucker around campus that day. In addition to a crowd that's going to be mostly ignorant about Beirut.

Oh, except for the students who think the band is a tribute to the drinking game.

I emailed the current social chair of Terrace Club and this is what he replied:
"Eduardo,
I'm sorry to say that all of our shows for the past few years have been students-only and Beirut will be too.
Best,
Joshua D Hirshfeld"
