Dan Deacon

Hey Everyone,
~~Tomorrow~~ tonight i'll be performing at the Whitney Museum of American Art. i'm really pumped, like all the way 10s. the show is FREE or PAY WHAT YOU WISH. its a first come, first get in type deal. SPACE is limited (250ish capacity) so i would show up early if you want to make sure you get in (sorry).

DOORS ARE AT 6pm. SHOW IS AT 7pm.
945 Madison Ave at 75th St, New York, NY
Friday February 8th 2007

Since its a fancy, well respected museum please dress as INSANE/STUPID/COSTUMED/TO THE 9's/CRAZY. this will be a lights-on-the-whole-time show it would be awesome if the audience looked totally bonkers, colorful, and weird. this performance will be a very heavy audience participation type show. i'm counting on you

the set will be recorded by none other then the master chester gwazda. the main pieces i am looking to record are:

SILENCE LIKE THE WIND
LION WITH A SHARKS HEAD
BIGGLE HAT WAS ICECREAM TIME CARD (SHARK NOSE NOSE)
PRAYER TO CONNOR
and several structured crowd improvisations.

if you are unfamiliar with any of these songs that ok, i'll have lyric sheets and everything will be low pressure, cool vibes all the way. 20 wham city people are coming up, can't wait for this. should be a lot of fun. hopefully see you there.

again, no openers, doors at 6pm. music promptly at 7pm. show over by 8:30pm. fun had by all!

dan!

If you go, look out for a new book by Dina Kelberman.

He sounds like a cool guy. If only he didn't make terrible music.

You guys just don't understand his artistic wackiness. He's like a mildly retarded genius.

I live right by the Whitney. Most people are not going to get in. I just walked by there and already it looks like 1500 people on line. The line is about 4 blocks already.
This is looking to be like the Boredoms fiasco.
