\nRocketship (Dustin Reske & Co.) @ Trans-Pecos<\/em><\/p>\n

This week was a doozy: Sushi Station\/Mitsuwa with Z, Jen S., and Stacy. Edward Gorey exhibit @ LUMA. Small Bar with Kelly, Heather & Jim. Squasht opening party with Kimmi. Printed a new card! Flew to NYC and headed straight to dinner with Kevin and Amy Plitt at Taco Chulo, followed by cookies at Momofuku Milk Bar. Then straight to The Flatmates\/My Favorite\/The Haywains @ Knitting Factory. Lunch with Kevin & Niko @ Wild Ginger and a walk to Cafe Grumpy. Afternoon show @ Spike Hill, but we left for Maleficent in Union Square. Quick dinner of pizza @ Two Boots. Band A Part\/Rocketship @ Cameo Gallery – it was hot as hell and I couldn’t be in there any longer than I had to. Sunday morning, Kev and I headed to brunch at Bar Bodega and met up with Jen Ferreira and her friend Fay, Molly Cronin, and Terence Adams (who I have not seen in forever & ever)! Last, but best: Rocketship\/Pam Berry\/Mark Monnone\/Beverly (Beverly were amazing – song link here<\/a>) @ Trans-Pecos. I ubered it to LaGuardia and pretty much still haven’t decompressed three days later.<\/p>\n

99% of the reason I flew to the NYC Popfest was to see Rocketship, a band I have loved ~15 years since an ex Victor put them on a mixtape. Seeing so many of my awesome friends and fantastic bands and eating tasty food made up the other 1%, but let’s be real – I did it for Rocketship. Often when I mention them, I get a lot of blank stares, even from rabid music fans so, being in a space inhabited by super fans of Rocketship was thrilling. They were filming a documentary about them and I told my story of discovering them. The Saturday night show was great, don’t get me wrong, but the sound and setting and crowd on Sunday at Trans-Pecos was absolutely magical and NYCTaper recorded the magic and put it up here<\/a>. I believe I did a good job of not embarrassing myself when I told Dustin & co. what finally getting to see them meant to me. A great history of Rocketship’s discography<\/a>. <\/p>\n
