[kj] NYC gig

Have to say, this whole event is getting more worriesome by the hour. For a
start, the box office at Webster Hall (the venue) doesn't know anything
about the event in question (despite the fact that tix are going on sale fo=
r
it tomorrow at noon). They directed me to Ticketmaster, who showed no sign
of recognition either.

Moreover, on the night of the show (Oct.22), the doors don't open until
7:30. So far....there are three bands listed (with "many more to be
announced") lined-up before Killing Joke (and, by the way, apparently My
Morning Jacket have a higher billing than the Joke). That says "short sets"
to me.


I'm starting to get very pissed off.
