neasanoneill: So that was gig #1000 last Thursday, @greenday (for the 7th time) in @marlay_park playing #Dookie and #AmericanIdiot, brilliant rock show with two classic albums and a sprinkling of other top tunes So I thought I'd look at some stats from those 1,000 sho
neasanoneill: Went on a health kick for breakfast (and post-breakfast snack).
neasanoneill: So I've now seen @dillingerescapeplan 17 times (worth it) but I think the real milestone is seeing @thecallousdaoboys six times but in six cities (five countries) London, Brighton, Munich, Vienna, Dublin and New York (but never a headline show 😭)
neasanoneill: Back at the usual pre-gig activity, this time in Evil Twin's DUMBO tap room, which is, unsurprisingly, busy on a Saturday evening (hence getting two)
neasanoneill: Lunch today was a hero from Kips Bay Deli, I just happened to sit down near the "other" end of the portal and then wandered towards a famous site from a movie we all know and love.
neasanoneill: And now to why I'm here! Nice little touch at the show, the venue is newly refurbished, they list some notable gigs from their history at each bar and add the concert du jour to the end.
neasanoneill: Two slices of pepperoni (after some empanadas from a food truck...)
neasanoneill: Prepping for the first DEP with a few (US) pints, first Finback in Gowanus.
neasanoneill: Ice cream in Chinatown, black sesame and vanilla soft serve from Soft Swerve and it's good. The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is cash only (Boo Hiss) would have liked to try there
neasanoneill: Today? Chinatown and some Lu Rou Fen from Taiwan Bear House on Pell St, tasty. I did pop out to Citifield but didn't take any photos, did grab a new cap though.
neasanoneill: Baseball again, slightly different level and experience Watching the Yankees (Boo, Hiss, etc, etc) play the Baltimore Orioles.
neasanoneill: After my last post you might be asking why I'm in Coney Island, I'm not here for the amusements, I'm here to see some baseball. I'm watching the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets' Minor League team, (and having a beer) got a great seat behind home plate.
neasanoneill: I'm out in Coney Island and I'm hungry, there's only one option hotdog(s) and fries from Nathan's!
neasanoneill: Hey look, if they're going to have Xing Fu Tang in NY then I need to encourage that kind of behaviour (and the caffeine and sugar is exactly what I need right now).
neasanoneill: Let's go! Off to NYC for a few days to see two of the Dimitri Escape Plan shows (gigs #998 and #999 for me). Will also catch some minor, and major, league baseball and probably visit the Nintendo store more than once
