Trying to arrange a summer holiday that will include NYC.  Would like to be able to take in some bands while I'm there.  Are there any fests planned?  I remember last year there was gonna be something on July 4th but it was cancelled.

There was a fest that was canceled but there was also the Captured Tracks/Woodsist fest on the fourth of July that did take place.  Haven't heard anything about it happening again, but just cuz I haven't heard doesn't mean it's not happening.

I wouldn't worry about seeing bands in New York. There's a shit-ton of shows every night, of which I'm sure you can find something you are into. If not, there's always Broadway. Can't wait for the American Idiot stage show!

The 4th of July Woodsist Captured Tracks fest last year was a BLAST.

But also, what Erick said.

Yeah there was some thing with the Carbonas and Tyvek that looked interesting but I guess got rolled into the Woodsist thing.

I was in  NYC two years ago and there was nothing going on but that was because I made the mistake of going Monday to Wednesday.  This time I'll got on a weekend.   First thing I'll do is play one of those street games with the cup and shells, then I'll follow it up with getting slipped a mickey and having my wallet stolen.
