Subject: [JP] Kennedys in NYC

It's possible that Bruce already wrote about the show, I haven't been 
online since last Tuesday, so I wouldn't know. Let me frame this show for 
you by pointing out that I went home on Thursday to eat turkey with the 
family, left at 7 AM and got back to Philly at 1 AM (gotta love travelling 
on T-day), worked Friday, skipped the jane siberry show (too much $) to see 
Harry Potter, which totally RULED, btw, worked Saturday, and left Philly at 
5 pm to see TK in NYC. This was the first time since the Eleventh that I 
made a trip to NYC w/out stopping at Ground Zero (I said a prayer there on 
T-day). I got out at Penn Station, walked 10 blocks to the Cutting Room, 
and arrived early, not usual for me, really. I hobnobbed with the barkeep, 
who served me a HUGE glass of Shiraz, which buzzed me rightly and reminded 
me of DJP. The Cutting Room is a pretty cool venue, small, intimate, 
fabulous service, great wine. I met a man named Gordon Nash, who works at 
NYIT and is a huge fan of the Kennedys. Really nice guy. You'll see him at 
Friday's TK Piermont show, if you go. W/out further ado:
Wall Of Death
Pick You Up
River Of Falling Stars
Can't Kill Hope With A Gun during which M.broke a string and P. broke into 
a medley while she recovered and then they finished the song - very cool
<mention of WFUV, which I used to listen to in h.s.>
<discussion of Ireland, specifically N. Ire, where P&M were told not to 
walk down any street that was orange on one side and green on the other, 
and the usual mention of Giant's Causeway, that spot in the north that P&M 
love so much, which is actually where my Dad grew up, near Ballymena>
Fortuneteller Road, during which I stepped out to smoke and ran into the 
just-arriving Bruce! Bruce is moving 2 hrs north, closer to NoHo but far 
from NYC, and he wanted to catch a Kennedys show in NYC, while it was still 
easy. Yay for Bruce! His hair was perfect.
Pearl's Eye View, still my favorite Kennedys song
Didn't It Rain
<discussion of the Leonidas Meteor shower (named so b/c it appears in the 
constellation of Leo): After the bryn athyn show, P+M were driving home and 
they realized they'd be arriving in time to see it, but doubted they'd be 
able to from home, so they drove west into the Blue Ridge Mts, and watched 
it from there. They said it was spectacular from that vantage.>
Get It Right
Heart Of Darkness, a request from me, after the show M.said they never play 
this song and I pointed out that I heard it at Andy's and M. said, "Yeah, 
but Andy's is different."
Sirens
No encore, unfortunately, and no Life Is Large! Imagine that!
Maura was wearing her fabulous new birthday shirt from her brother (she has 
a lot of siblings! I thought my family was big) and very cool pants, which 
I was jealous of. Pete was wearing this very cool sleeveless shirt with 
rose patterns at the shoulders. They are so cute. :-) I would have liked to 
stay for the 2nd act, in case TK were invited on stage, but the 2 glasses 
of Shiraz really zonked me out. Thanks to Bruce for the ride home.
A brilliant show, experienced in excellent company, definitely worth the trip.
P+M confirmed that they're seriously thinking of moving to NYC <M. 
explained to me why Conehead doesn't like NYC, but I still say it's the 
subway he doesn't get> if they can find the right place, maybe in Brooklyn. 
YAY for TK in NYC! But I'm not done reviewing yet, b/c the next morning, 
after breaking fast with my Mom and my sister Bridget, all my friends (I 
had plans with 3 of them) blew me off and I was SO happy! Why? B/c that 
meant I had the whole day to myself in NYC, my favorite city, and what a 
beautiful day it was. 67 degrees, and I walked for 5 and a half hours. I 
started in Central Park, walked past the Reservoir, where I thought of 
Dustin Hoffman, down past the Great Lawn, stopped at Delacourt Theater and 
Belvedere Castle, where I was ambushed by men in ninja outfits at 15 years 
of age, a must-go, where I discovered that you can go on a free walking 
tour of Central Park! How about that! Visit the Uniform Resource Locater at 
www.centralparrknyc.org. Wandered through the Shakespeare Garden and ambled 
through the Ramble, waved at Alice, rented a rowboat for 10 bucks and 
sallied out on the Great Lake, where I sang 10KM's City Of Angels at the 
top of my lungs, not rude, b/c I smoke (not much lung here), sauntered 
through the Pineturn, along the Bridle Path, past the Bandshell, lingered 
in the Wisteria Pergola,and ended up in the Sheep Meadow (yes, Elizabeth, 
they used to have a flock of sheep here, but they moved 'em to Prospect 
Park), where I spent many (I mean MANY) a skipped class in h.s, doing 
illegal things, mostly for free, rolled in the grass, read the sign 
disbelievingly, how could Frederick Law Olmstead think that this lovely 
patch of green should only be observed and enjoyed from a distance? 
Clearly, he didn't understand hacky-sack. Turned around and headed North, 
still in the Park, exited at 81st ST. and went into the always awesome 
Museum Of Natural History, ensconced myself in the Hayden Planetarium, 
where I decided to do ALL my christmas shopping in the verycool Space 
store, and where I spent many a teenage angst-ridden nght watching the 
laser light shows, headed West on 81st, went into a great Tibetan Crafts 
shop, where I bought a bracelet from a Tibetan woman who knows the Dalai 
Lama, hit Broadway and walked clear down to Penn  Station, pausing to 
marvel at Times Square looking more and more like Shinjuku every day (but 
no-one does neon like the Japanese), listened to the drummers and dancers 
for a bit, ate a slice of delicious NYC mushroom pizza, lingered at Macy's 
@ Herald Square, where they have a fabulous Miracle on 34th St. display 
replete with moving figures and audio, pretended to want Rangers tickets to 
see how much they cost from scalpers (a lot), and found a winning $5 
lottery ticket in my wallet which enabled me to have a Samuel Adams in 
Kabooz's, down in the station, where I unfortunately fell in love with the 
barmaid.  There was this brilliant documentary on PBS last week about the 
history of NYC in 7 parts, produced by Rick Burns, Ken's brother. My NYC 
friends, yes, I spoke to them before they decided they were too busy to see 
me, had all watched it and it turns out that I am not the only one who is 
now determined to learn as much as possible about this great city I grew up 
in and always took for granted. Until now. Reiteration of a standing 
invite, for any Nookers or Janglers who want to explore NYC (especially 
rhiannon, 'cause I owe her one): drop me a line and bring your walking 
shoes! crash space is a given.  I am always up for a trip to the big apple, 
especially Central Park, which I LOVE. 283 acres of fun, baby! OK, sgning 
off now. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. The weather on the East Coast 
is phenomenal! Yay for unseasonal weather!
bern, obviously, way too much of a new yorker to shut up, evidenced by my 
horoscope yesterday, which suggested that someone might want to put a 
muzzle on me. as if!

>>Out of
curiosity does any1 know how the suffix 'tique' translates 2 english?<<

Hopefully, you'll get a more complete answer than this, but the part that
would need to translate is probably "ique", as in ant-inque and bout-ique. I
guess I should go look it up, but I'm already doing five things at once.

Have fun.

Ken

And it comes to mind that "ique" probably means something like "of". As in
ant-ique = past-of, or of-the-past. But then, what's a bout?

Bah! Now I'm going to have to go look it up cause it isn't going to leave me
alone till I do.

Have fun.

WHAT'S A "BOUT"? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It appears that a bout derives from some French word (don't they all) for
shop. But it's not a real distinct connection where I can say "Oh! A bout is
a (blank)!"

And I can't find *anything* on ique. Or tique, for that matter. You'd think
I could find *something* on the etymology of qualifiers or whatever those
add-on-at-the-end-of-a-word things are. ARRRGGGHHH!

So I guess I'll just have to go with my own definition of "of".

This whole thing has me feeling more than a bit of pique.


Ken
Don't even get me started on behave. What the Hell is a have? And why am I
supposed to be it?
