Since I can't go, I have to do my part with some shameless shilling for my man. Go. To. This.
Edit 12/9 - still tickets.... GO! Edit - 12/24 - last bump before I go away for the week. Go, enjoy Adam, and post about it so I can see when I get home!
I really, really like The Knitting Factory. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues, though I suppose that's because so many people I enjoy have been playing there.
I'm kind of curious, too. I mean, Joe's Pub seems to clearly be pretty theatre-oriented, but surfing around the website for The Knitting Factory gave me the idea that this is more like "the real deal."
"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."
AWW there there Emcee, I'm sure someone will record it or tape it!
"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."
The only other Broadway related person I've ever seen perform there is Joshua Kobak (of Rent) and his band Swim, whom I'm a HUGE fan of. And he, and Adam too really, are more Broadway actors who are also musicians, more than theater people dabbling in solo-music.
But yeah, the place has a few different rooms. The room that Adam is playing in is basically just an open floor and bar, so it's going to be a standing thing. The sound is pretty awesome (I thought so, but usually, when Joshua actually says the sound is good, the sound is good) and it's a nice, sort of intimate setup.
They also have a tap bar downstairs for more acoustic acts, which I have also been to recently. It's about the same size, but not meant for bands.
I just like the place. It has a good feel to it, and a bar just for sitting in, in case you want to chat after and the music is still going. I think there may be one other performance space in there, but I've only been to those two.

Now, why can't I make it to New York, damn ??? Adam on the 29th AND Matt on the Kitchen Sink at the 19th ? emcee you have to go to one of these for me, please !!! Why did I choose September to come to town ? Couldn't I wait till now ?
I have a final exam the day following the Kitchen Sink, so I can't go to that, and I have to go visit family out-of-state after Christmas. That's why I can't see my Adam.
luvthe Emcee i am going but one problem, i don't have a digital camera or any sort of recording device. Otherwise i would share pics and stuff with you. However i will bring wiht me plenty of adam support!
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

I wanted to go soo bad, but I'm going on a tour with my friends and we're going to a play that night, and my mom said she won't go with me so I was like Okay I'll go alone and she's like NO YOU CAN'T GO ALONE! grrrrrrr....
"Kali, why is Roger on a cliff?"
"Because the cliff is love, Rachel."
"Oh."
I think the 'boob lady' should officially hand over her job to you, Emcee. You are the Marketing Director of Adam Pascal Enterprise!

I'm sure we'll be able to 'capture' a moment or two for you on 29th.
