What's Going on Thursday?

As a token to all of us OCD/neurotic/nitpicky readers, could you grant us a boon? You see, every time you do one of these posts, my mind always reads it as: "WHATS GOING on Thursday." I think what you're trying to say is, "On Thursday, What's Going On?" or "What's Going On, on Thursday?" - a simple solution to appease us nuts? Start adding a colon.... ex. "What's Going On: Thursday."

I realize I am crazy, I'm cool with that.

julius, the rest of us aren't cool with your craziness.

retard

teeming with excitement about daft & dafterparty.

so psyched for daft punk!!!! re: the rain - save someones view: get a poncho

Does anybody know what time Daft is supposed to go on? Trying to determine if i could see a bit of the B-52's????

Anyone know what time the Beasties go on? Tickets say doors at 5:30pm

beastie are cancelled

"save someones view: get a poncho"

Ponchos are cheap at the dollar store. Don't be an ass with an umbrella.

wen i used to get scared of thunerstorms i'd hide underneaththebed. that is where i found 3dolars and a oreo one time!=?!

whenever the hold! steadycomes i go see! them!

rocktornado and songs about people you thought youmadeup but really craig fin did!

Anyone know the keyspan set times?

wait till noon, and then call the merc. box office

unbelievably excited for the daft punk show. just wish i could go to the after party.

Called the Keyspan box office and they were not able to say what time Daft Punk was scheduled to take the stage. Seemed like they simply didn't know. They did say that doors open at 6:00, for you folks willing to wait in order to get close.

Here are the times from a recent show:

DOORS AT 6:30 PM
Sebastian & Kavinsky -- 7:00 to 8:00
The Rapture -- 8:00 to 9:00
Sebastian & Kavinsky - 9:00 to 9:30
DAFT PUNK -- 9:45 to 11:15

Whether S&B playing twice is the norm, or was just for that show, I don't know.

DAFT PUNK!!!!!

6:00pm Kavinsky
8:00pm The Rapture
8:45pm Sebastian
9:30pm Daft Punk

beastie are cancelled

cancelled? r u sure. i would probably mope for at least a day if this was true. if you are lying, may the karma gods have their way with you.

What, like 16 comments in and no mention of how the Hold Steady suck? c'mon guys and gals, you're slipping!

re: beasties time
they went on a little after 8 last night - no opening acts. and they fucking rocked.

Once again-- does anybody know what time the Beasties go on?

the rapture sent out a myspace bulletin saying they're on at 7:30. leads me to believe daft punk is on at 9.... curfew at 11.

ObsceneNYC.com has a party bus going from Williamsburg to Daft Punk and back.

$35 round trip, that's about $17 each way to not worry about parking/cabs/ or one hour train rides from Coney Island. BYOB it's a friggin' PARTY BUS.

Leaves @ 7, email me now. wayman[at]obscenenyc.com

set times for campesinos et al?

Hold Steady then over to Beat The Devil/Glorytellers at UH.

Any idea about what time The Hold Steady will be going on stage tonight?

i dont feel so bad about missing hold steady, now that theyre playin with old 97s in september

also Garland of Hours (Mary Timony), Shortstack, Airwaves, Zeke Healy @ Cake Shop Thurs. nite.

Ticketmaster said doors for daft punk were at 7:00 in my event reminder email. Are they 6:00 or 7:00?

Does anybody know what time people are going to stop asking for fucking set times?

Just go to the fucking show. The openers would love to play for you.

so confused- why would websites (bowery presents, oh my rockness, ticketmaster) post doors opening at 7 if the show starts at 6. wouldnt doors open at 5 then?? definitly thought show wouldnt start until 8. daft punk going on at 9:30. thought it would be more like 11. we wont be buzzed enough by 9:30.

Thanks, CTC. Your keen insight is very valuable. Did it ever occur to you that people might have to work late and don't live in Brooklyn? I would love to get down there at 5 or 6 and see all three bands but it isn't possible. I want to make sure that I'm there for THS.

start drinking earlier

Joe,

Yes that has occurred to me, and I'm not gonna get in a flame war because we're both THS fans.

But it's a free show. Just go after you get off work. You'll have fun, and you'll totally get to see them. I promise.

Rapture goes on at 7pm...Daft is on at 8:30 for a 10 oclock curfew.

"What, like 16 comments in and no mention of how the Hold Steady suck? c'mon guys and gals, you're slipping!"

I am actually proud of the BV readers right now. Instead of seeing a free show, they prefer to see better acts, even at $50 a pop. Quality comes at a price. Good for us!

not to mention that hold steady has played nyc like 18 times this year already.. and daft punk plays approx. never. this is a no brainer

DeLeon is going to do it right.

I heard Hold Steady is going on at 4pm. You people will never make it if you're coming from work. If you want to catch the band, leave work NOW. Especially if you're coming in from Manhattan. And while you're at it, make sure you start drinking on your way out the door, to ensure you're properly buzzed in time.

Do they put seats in the pitch area at Keyspan or is it just a free-for-all?

despite the fact that all of the hipsters and corporations and high rents will eventually ruin all of new york, but in particular coney, i am going to the daft punk show and will try to have a good time, despite being surrounded by all that is killing everything that is good in this city. i mean, i can remember going to coney back in the day, when it was cool. now...forget about it.

i just called the stadium. doors are at 6p, first band goes on a 7p, they said there is no definitive must be done time.

thus, my predictions for set times:

7p - 7:30p kavinsky / sebastian
7:45 - 8:15 kavinsky / sebastian
8:30 - 9:30 the rapture
9:45 - ? daft punk

Someone...pls pls pls sell me your extra daft punk ticket, will pay cash, can meet anywhere in the city any time this afternoon! THANK YOU!

so glad i'm not the only one who is BEYOND excited for the daft punk show!! i hope we don't get any rain...

What is the number for the stadium doors?

Bowery Presents is handling the Daft Punk show. I'd hazard a guess that the set times posted by anonymous at 11:14a came from them... but you can always call the Merc Lounge b/o and double-check.

Keyspan Park is now a stadium?!? WTF?

(Just noticed the whole 6:30p start and 7p doors thing. Nevermind.)

what about toots and the maytals!?!

"ObsceneNYC.com has a party bus going from Williamsburg to Daft Punk and back."

Yeah, but then you would have to go to Williamsburg? Who would want to do that?

anyone have the set times for hold steady/openers?

i just called the merc box office and they said the rapture is scheduled for 9 pm. WTF. whatever im jsut gonna get down there asap

anyone have two extra after show tickets??

Anon 11:14 has the official set times for Daft Punk correct. Whether or not they follow those times is a different story, but I will be hauling ass to get there in time for the Rapture at 7:30pm.

I'm skipping all that to see Incubus and the Bravery at Jones Beach. Sure their last two albums kinda blow, but you cant deny they're great live.

Incubus over Daft Punk will be the most ill-advised decision you make all year.

haha, i love daft punk, but already saw them - plus, it's a workday

get there early and enjoy the openers while you have a beer. better yet, get there later and leave more room for us. yeah... do that.

>"ObsceneNYC.com has a party bus going from >Williamsburg to Daft Punk and back."
>
>Yeah, but then you would have to go to >Williamsburg? Who would want to do that?

If you're going to the afterparty, drop off point is about a 15min walk across the park

I called Mercury Lounge and they said Daft Punk was going on at 10pm.

Dunno if the guy is sick of taking phone calls on the subject, or if that is legit.

Sorry to confuse matters more, but it is what it is.

Quit calling me, people!

Daft Punk will go on when they go on.

are the cribs any good live? dont really know them, but would go to see white rabbits again

How many yards is it from the subway station to Keyspan Park?

Daft at 9:30
Rapture at 7:30
those djs before and in between.
please believe me.

cribs are very fun live, you should go. them plus white rabbits is a great bill.

Drink?? I'm hoping to find something over there that will do a bit better than get me drunk.... Whose got my caps??!! Rolls??!!!!

i saw cribs at coachella, they were pretty good..but not stellar. but cribs/rabbits at bowery would definitely be a cool show.

daft/rapture>hold steady>cribs/rabbits>beasties

To all the people who are still wondering what tiem Daft Punk will go on..did you not see the comment with this info?

L S D 4 ME.

^^ then why did the box office guy tell me somethign compeltey different when i called?

^^ then why did the box office guy tell me somethign compeltey different when i called?

An actual serious question: are all the subway lines that go to and from Coney running ok today?

what time do cribs go on and what time do white rabits go on? also, what time do they finish. and how much time between encores is there, one encore or 2? this also applies to the beastie boys, daft punk, the hold steady and the black crowes. just so i dont have to stand around waiting and go hit those baloons they give away on 71st street right inside the park.

thanks.

I think most of us are just worried about getting out to Coney Island in time, hence the stressing about set times. I mean, would it kill Bowery Presents to publish them on their site? More important, does anybody know where I can find a sexy poncho? Duane Reade only has "youth" sizes.

Note: PARTY BUS

I've been getting a lot of questions.
-There are still seats.
-Group rates are negotiable.
-Pick Up/Drop off is near Pete's candy shop off the Lorimer L. 15min walk across the park to Studio B if you're doing the afterparty
-Leaves at 7pm

http://www.obscenenyc.com

garbage bag = sexy poncho

anyone know how security is at keyspan? were sitting in the bowl and want to bring a joint...never been to the venue and im wondering if the seats are going to have some type of ushers or security..bummer we are not on the field!!!!!! please help...thanx

Has Bowery said if they'll be releasing tix at the show?

Is Coney Island really an island? Are there rafts to take there or do I have to swim? This is really important because I did not bring a bathing suit to work.

i am sure EVERYONE will have joints

hey anon 2:53

are you really THAT stupid?

i saw daft punk at a cmj party when i was about 14...in their pre-pyramid, wipeoutXL days. how cool am i?

APHEX TWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also played that night

not a bad night of electronic music

any experiences with eavesdropping keyspan concerts from the boardwalk?

its gonna pour tonight...

DD A FFF TTT PP U U N N K K
D D A A F T P P U U NN N KK
D D AAA FF T PP U U N NN KK
DD A A F T P UUU N N K K

I can't really work. I'm excited.

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez I have no idea why im getting the feeling that im going to be surrounded at Daft Punk by a lot of stupid little idiots

Both Weather.com and NY1 don't think rain will start until after midnight, which is incidentally when the F train will start getting all goofy. I'm personally hoping Daft Punk ends nice and early (11'ish) for plenty of time to escape tornadoes and G train transfers.

me threeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. weather.com says the rain starts around 10...

http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/airquality/hourbyhour/11224?from=36hr_fcstHourLink_aq

i was at that daft punk show...it was at roseland.

man, i miss the days when you other retards were still listening to lifehouse.

As of right now, the chance of rain isn't really significant (40%) until 10pm, and it steadily increases from there. Not ideal, but I don't expect it to "pour" on DP's set. Don't be such an alarmist, 3:06!

i saw daft punk at coachella last year, so i dont know what all the excitement is about, seen it all before...

i saw them at hammerstein in 97/98

shit was fun.

i just found out that that stupid "one more time" song is theirs about a month ago...that's my bathroom break

if you took a look at the weather map - it's pretty apparent that the rain is coming right for us and will be here before 10 - and it doesn't look like theres any way for it to miss us either...

nyc noise fan:

they haven't played NYC in like 10 years.

Lifehouse?! Please spare us the faux-indie snobbery! I saw the Rapture play Mirror in a basement in front of 20 people in '99 but you don't see me braggin.

Oh wait, maybe I just did.

Point being: get over yourselves and dance! It's gonna be awesome!

Jeez, 3:24. I'm glad I'm not going to the concert with you. Though it's neat you can actually read and interpret weather maps. I let the weather channel do that for me, and they say don't sweat it til at least 10. Maybe you should just give your ticket to some poor soul who's missing out. Or better yet, get a poncho and hope for the best!

Coney Island was an island, now it is a peninsula. Blame Robert Moses.

Ome more time!?! it may be corny but you have to <3 it!

i would never listen to lifehouse...now that live group and their 'throwing copper' album...that's the good stuff!!

what else IS there to do tonight; im sorry but rain or no rain daft punk is it !!!!!!!!!!!

ugh, is work over yet ???????

Totally. Even if you hate the song, I bet the energy in the crowd will make it irresistable. At least I hope so!

well if the forecasts were up-to-date and not from early this morning, then maybe i'd rely on them too - but alas. no.

i'm fine with the rain though - bring it

you all a bunch of pussies

I can't wait to see how all of the ecstasy kids react to daft punk in the rain! haha

Whoever is posting the Cribs/Rabbits/Islands set times is beyond retarded. The doors open at 8pm....yeah, the first band comes on when the doors open, that's gonna happen. Good one dipshit.

I found out the set times for the people on here who can use the internet but apparantly cannot figure out a phone. All it took was PLACING A CALL TO THE BOX OFFICE YOU NUMBSKULLS.

Foreign Islands: 9pm
White Rabbits: 10pm
Cribs: 11pm

they still make e pills?

our work is never over

does anyone know what time Daft Punk is playing tonight?

The Hold Steady suck

i think they go one right after the hold steady

3:57, you've got to be kidding. It's on here.

"Call the box office" seems to be a popular refrain of late. How would you like to be the one answering the phone?

guys, i miss bv

You got me, 4:05. I actually WAS kidding! Good eye!

Rain. Fuck that. I'm just going to sit at home with a laser pointer and a flashlight.

We are going to see The Hold Steady tonight. Does anyone know what time their set starts?

MTA site has this message: Due to ongoing signal problems at the 21st Street-Queensbridge Station, please expect delays in service on the Coney Island-bound F train at this time.

and to love a god
and to fear ... a flame

What's your name?
What've you had?
Reach for the Lasers,
Safe as Fuck.

James Murphy told me that:

Daft Punk is playing at Nine Thirty....Ninnnnnne Thirty !

James Murphy told me that:

Daft Punk is playing at Nine Thirty....Ninnnnnne Thirty !

James Murphy told me that:

oh how i wish i could fast foward through the ninety minutes of work left.

hey guys and womans: does anyone now when thehold steady goes on!

THErApture is not ver y good. lou reed is. and dominos pizza.

I have two GA seats for Daft Punk I'm looking to sell for face value. email me at mattkamel@mac.com if yr interested.

hey jnco, if they do, holla.

anon 445 yeah i got some mitsubishi turbos stashed right here in my oversized jnco pocket

I have 1 face for the Beastie Boys tonight $65 (Midtown East)

asockol@gmail.com

From NME.com:
"Beastie Boys talk about first-ever Brooklyn show.
Trio discuss tonight's landmark performance"
http://www.nme.com/news/30229

Dominos pizza is not good. this is new york city guys

The Rapture posted a bulletin on Myspace announcing their set time as 7:30pm:

"The Rapture play at 7:30pm tomorrow at the Sold Out Keyspan show, so make sure you get there early to catch their set!"

So I would guess that anon 11:14's set times are right. Let's just hope there's not too much rain!

can anyone attest to the likelihood of me being able to get from the bowl to the field?

daft punk is playing at my house

The Hold Steady rocked out tonight in P.P. You can check some pics here: http://www.feastofmusic.com/feast_of_music/2007/08/the-hold-steady.html

Viva La Daft Punken!

you've got to set them up kid; you've got to set them up.

oh how jealous I am of all you...

Hold Steady brought it last night. Very entertaining. Very impressed with what I saw. It was probably their biggest gig in NYC and it was for FREE! Can't beat that. "Stuck Between Stations", "Chips Ahoy!", "You Can Make Him Love You", "Your Little Hoodrat Friends" were my favorites, but the last two songs they played, and they way they blended one into the other and then extended the last song for like ten minutes!...... Brilliant!

Also, did anyone see the elderly/80 yr. old+ couple there? Bless their hearts, that was awesome.

Yes! I was standing next to the 80-year old couple the entire night. They both fell asleep during the Big Sleep's set, even though the Big Sleep was AWESOME!

Hold Steady was also great but the Big Sleep always plays a great set.
