For the first time in months (we have these “lives,” you know), Whisperado has some gigs lined up in the near future. On Sunday, January 2, at 7 PM, you can watch as I turn 52 onstage at Spike Hill, 184-186 Bedford Avenue (at 7th Street), in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And at 8 PM on January 23 we’ll be at Banjo Jim’s, 9th Street and Avenue C in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Spike Hill is a new venue for us, but we’re up for it. We’ve played Banjo Jim’s several times; it’s a very friendly place with a great crowd of regulars. This post is an experiment in actually letting people know in advance when and where we’ll be playing, as opposed to my usual practice of sending out really strong telepathic emanations and maybe remembering to put a line onto Making Light the afternoon of the day of the gig. We’ll see how it works out.
I'm there! And I can't thank you enough for announcing in advance!
I shan't be able to make it, being geographically challenged.
Guess I'll have to wait for the world tour. :)
Oops, already have plans for that weekend.
I can't make it, but some of Patrick's authors are having a book signing here tomorrow. Not sure it evens things out though...
Advance notice makes it far more likely that I'll be able to make it!
Ginger @ 5... I wonder what kind of plans...
I'll just stay home and listen to my 45s. [sigh]
Thanks for the notice. I have been wanting to hear you guys play for a while now. Will try to make it to the Banjo Jim's gig.
Good job on the announcement. Wish I could be there.
No, not really. NYC. January. No.
Wish you could be here!
I want to see if turning 52 will look different onstage than it does ordinarily. Can we at least expect a hat with, you know, pointy things sticking out of the top?
I have a commitment that day that will keep me away, I'm afraid. I guess that means I won't know if you have a spiky hat or not.
one of these days I'll have $$ and time to go. New York in winter? Feh, come to Kansas City in winter. We had a blizzard on Christmas eve last year....
Best wishes!
Serge @8: Ha! I think you're fishing..and I do have Those Kinds of Plans. I'd better stock up on insulin for everyone else.

I don't know, but it's nice to see that when a man turns 52, he has finally outgrown the sombrero jokes.
Hey! Scraps and I get your telepathic emanations. Well, truth: we ask questions, and I'm on Jon's email list, too.
