As some of you know, the Brooklyn Flea has been doing the food and beer concessions at the SummerStage concert series in Central Park this summer. As a result, we have one of those neat little passes that lets you go backstage. So it was that we found ourselves in the front row of the first of four concerts by the 90’s band Pavement last night. Since they’re one of our all time faves, we were pretty excited (as was Mrs. B when frontman Steve Malkmus pointed and winked at her!). Here are a few photos from the night. The band plays tonight, tomorrow and Friday as well.
Hey – A friend flaked out and I have an extra for tomorrow night (sorry if this in poor taste to post this here) – should be nice weather and a great show. Ticket is $50 but accepting best offer – I can meet you anywhere around Brooklyn tonight for exchange – thanks!
i’m jealous! was it a good show?
Babs, I think I understand your hesitancy in flocking towards something called alternative, but no reason to dismiss without giving a listen based upon someone’s label. What kind of music do you like?
This is for teenagers right?
Actually, Ringo, I think they’re contemporaries – Williamsburg existed as a hipster mecca beginning in the 1990s. Proto-hipsters moved there in the 1980s (I went to college with some of them). And thanks for the offer, jessibaby, but I’m really not interested in anything labelled “indie rock” or “lo-fi”.
JB;
Thanks – I guess. If this is what the fuss is all about, I think Mrs. B needs to find a hobby!
Benson and Babs – take a listen:

Pavement predates Williamsburg.
I was just invited to speak at a big engineering pow-wow, however. I got a thrill out of being selected. Can I blog about it?
