Quicksilver Festival 9/3-9/10

[LIguy]

Wasn't sure to throw this under festival or shows, but I figured it is a week run of different type of music that it belongs here. This is going to be out in Long Beach, NY and will be free . There is also will be BMX and skate boarding shows with a bunch of pros if you are into that kind of thing. Here is the link for more info:

Funny enough I will be in NYC Labor Day weekend. I was looking at the Inerpol show thinking "Well ... Maybe".

[lordrockinhood]

Assuming the weather is good, you should DO IT GL!
Long Beach is gorgeous, and the LIRR will take you right there. And you will get to watch cool surfers and skaters and stuff too


Sorry I missed your thread Jay, I just got SO excited when I saw the LIPS were going to be playing for FREE ON THE BEACH!!! YYYaaaaYYY ;D ;D

[itrainmonkeys]

So are there tickets to this or is it free? Looks free.

[lordrockinhood]

My friend who lives directly across the street said this is free.
That's how I found out about it.


*edit - this is the day that is NOT free

Special Benefit Concert Performance Saturday, September 10 hosted by Kelly Slater & Friends

And for the NYC peeps out there... THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!
Since it is Labor Day weekend, I am pretty sure we will be closing my office at about 2PM -- perfect! I REALLY hope to be able make it to this.

Massive half-pipe demo at Hudson River Park’s Pier 54 in New York City at 2:00 pm.
Tony Hawk, Kevin Staab, Jesse Fritsch, Mitchie Brusco, Sandro Dias, Neal Hendrix and Elliot Sloan

[itrainmonkeys]

I may be trying to go for the Interpol/Portugal. The Man day and the Flaming Lips day. Those are both too good to pass up.

[LIguy]

ITM and LRH, Are you two still doing Virgin fest as well? I think the Flips show will make a good pre-festival show. I never seen Q-Tip or Neon Indian. It also has been awhile since I have seen the Lips, so I am stoked for this.

[lordrockinhood]

I was on the fence for Virgin until now, but in light of this, I think I am going to pass on it.
This will be enough awesome-free-ness for me for that weekend. And way cheaper on expenses ;D

[Katy Mae]

I may try to go on 9/4 just for The English Beat

[itrainmonkeys]

I'm definitely planning on doing virgin mobile free fest and then really hoping I can do the two shows I mentioned above.

the other act on the first day is Matt & Kim

[lordrockinhood]

Just in case anyone does not know, ALL music has been canceled for this.

Because of the hurricane, they has to dismantle all the stage areas, and there was no time to reassemble, so they scrapped all music entertainment.

[itrainmonkeys]

Yea it was kind of a blessing in disguise for me. Saves me some money on bullshit I'd end up wasting it on (food, merch, train ticket, etc.)
