The word 'on' in the headline of this post should be capitalized because 'to go on' as used here is a phrasal verb. As it is written now, it means something similar to 'What's leaving on Friday'.

Most of New York is leaving on Friday.

Hi, pseudo-Safire:
Good catch, though a better fix might be: "What's Happening on Friday?"

mccain picked a woman

John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative with less than two years in office, as his vice presidential running mate Friday in a startling choice as the Republican National Convention drew near.
At a raucous rally in the swing state of Ohio, McCain introduced Palin as the political partner "who can best help me shake up Washington and make it start working again for the people who are counting on us."
Palin, the first Republican woman tapped for national office, promised: "I'm going to take our campaign to every part of our country and our message of reform to every voter of every background in every political party, or no party at all."
"... Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties," added the woman who has built her career in large measure by challenging fellow Republicans. "The people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right reasons."
In a fast-developing presidential campaign, McCain made his selection six days after his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, named Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, as his running mate.
The contrast between the two announcements was remarkable — Obama, 47, picked a 65-year-old running mate with long experience in government and a man whom he said was qualified to be president.
On his 72nd birthday, McCain chose a 44-year-old running mate who until recently was the mayor of small-town Wasilla, Alaska — and made no claim she was ready to sit in the Oval Office.

I'm not sure what FTW means but I'm gonna assume it stands for "Giraffes on a boat FuckYeah!... TW"

what are the set times for the south street seaport show tonight?

FTW is Web shorthand for For The Win, used to indicate enthusiastic approval:

I bet McCain traded the V.P. spot on his ticket for sex:

for those of you lucky enough to be in the hamptons this weekend...
THE BOGMEN
easily the greatest live NYC band of the 90s and they still have all the energy they had back then when they decide to do a show once or twice a year.
Posted by Anonymous | August 29, 2008 7:00 PM
the river to river website said show starts at 7. I got there 7:10 and later found out the first band came on at 6pm. Did anyone elso know this?

Sarah Palin jabbed a stake through the heart of Obamamaniacs everywhere.
As this is BV:
....kind of like Kurt Cobain, as Tom Petty said, sliced down the hair bands of the late 80s.
McNasty cum to parte`!!

If McCain chose Palin because he wanted a woman on the ticket, he might as well have chosen Ann Coulter.
Posted by Anonymous | August 30, 2008 9:02 AM
Sarah Palin will do.
"...cause there's SOMETHING in the way, yeah, hmmmmmm."

Anon @ 2:04 AM -
If, by "stake," you mean another half-generation of entitled apathetic young people holding goose down pillow fights in Union Square every Saturday until 2012, then yeah - you're right!
