Re: play at Tonic, NYC on 6/15

I agree with you Ari ..I have been to many shows there and there are 
times , when it has been packed and times when the musicians 
outnumbered the patrons....as I think I mentioned in an earlier 
post...it is just not the klezmer brunch that lacks for patrons at 
times...I have also been to shows at the knitting factory "Old Office" 
and other places both downtown and uptown...during the week, where the 
crowds were sparse for very top flight bands....for me, seeing and 
hearing klez and its current incarnations on the lower east side is a 
treasure we all need to support and one that will hopefully 
continue...one additional point...Tonic is close to public 
transportation...The "F" train is about 500 feet from the 
door....regards, elliott


> But if you =do= the publicity, the place can also be packed. I have 
made it to far too few shows, and some were SRO. I like the Tonic, and 
I really like the energy and time that Krakauer has put into making 
this space available.
