    http://www.rocksoff.com/shows/570

    if you have never been on one of these concert cruises you are missing out. it is a 3 hour tour around nyc that has a full bar and sometimes food. i believe it is cash only. Gear up, cause its goin down.

    who will i be hitting the high seas with on this grand voyage?

    You can count me in. I will be one of the many people on this ship of fools. Yarn jamming under the stars with the NYC skyline is going to be amazing. It's going to be one hell of a 3 HR tour on this Pirates Ball.

    Grrr!!!! I don't think I can make the show. The concert is on a Jewish holiday. Rosh Hashanah Which is from the Sunset of September 8 through nightfall of September 10. I may have to be a bad Jew for a night. lol What to do?

    Well, looks like this ol southern boy is gonna find his way north. I can't miss this one.
    Need some help freaks....My self and another yarn spinner plan to fly in Friday morning,
    leave Sunday afternoon.

    I don't really care about sight-seeing, etc. Looking for hotels in the area, tell me what area to search in NY
    which will have me close to the load site. All I need is a place to reat my head and a neighbor bar to get
    my mind right.

    Looking forward to it...and looking forward to YARN this Saturday down here in Georgia.

    From the Cruise website:

    The Half Moon holds 200 - it's the smallest and rowdiest of our boats.

    Their Sullivan Hall shows easily beat 200 tickets.

    I see where the boat cruises around the Statue of Liberty for about 30 minutes as part of the trip. That's pretty awesome.

    I see The Bridge is playing Fairfield on that Sunday night. Might make for a weekend. jgoods swears by that band, if I remember right.

    I may just be talking myself into this one!

    Perfect opportunity to convert to Yarnism! Yarnists worship Ten High, believe fervently in the almighty power of the jam and believe that there indeed is life after the encore!

    Convert now, earlbny and save your soul for rock and roll!

    I am already a Yarn junkie so I may just have to convert. I am half way there. Either that or I may just have to be a bad Jew for a day. I guess that why Jews always make there holiday's more then 1 night.

    Looks awesome, wish i could make it..

    Yarnism, Classic tous! Sign me up.

    For those looking for a place to stay, we just got a room off of Priceline for $130. Use the "name your own price" option and you should have some luck. We ended up at the swank Four Points By Sheraton Midtown - Times Square. Not too shabby and that price is a good deal for NYC.

    ...and, no, this isn't an open invite to an after-hours party in our room!

    Right on, we too went the bid route a few weeks back and are in the "The Manhattan at Times Square."
    I spent a few business daze in NYC back in '90, this is my 2nd ever TRIP to NYC......looking forward to it.
    We arrive about 8pm Thur, leave Sun night.

    On Sat at Sullivan Hall we are gonna try and find our way to the Dangermuffin with The Heavy Pets gig.
    Outside of this and YARN, we gonna roam and find trouble.

    Good luck with the video...between the motion and the sightlines...may not be worth the hassle. Saw them on a motherfuckin' boat in Boston and the stage was only about 6" high so sightlines were challenging. Not sure about this boat though.

    I do know one thing, though.

    2 days to Yarn on a motherfuckin' boat!
