Fifth Wednesday
November 25, 2006
So this coming Wednesday is the fifth Wednesday of the month, which means that there’s no Transmission. It also means, however, that we’ll have three whole weeks between one Transmission and the next, and I’m not crazy about that. How about we do something low-key, like have a movie night or something? Fifth Wednesdays do happen with some frequency, so it’d be neat to start a tradition regarding what we do with them.
I’m in Seattle right now and I’m playing for Church of the Apostles tonight with Lacey Brown. It’s a little bit like playing with a second me (electronic backing tracks mixed with live instruments, combining ancient texts and melodies with modern grooves, etc) except that, unlike me, Lacey can sing. It’s pretty cool - I wish you guys could hear it!
Church of the Apostles is pretty cool - they’ve taken an abandoned church and converted it into an Abbey for themselves. They take the whole “radical hospitality” thing pretty seriously. I was met at the airport, driven into down, and given a room all to myself. It would be a lot more expensive to get a building in NYC (I don’t there are any abandoned buildings, anyway), but I would really, really love to see Transmission blossom into a living community…

i’m in for something social and low-key. however, i vote for something more interactive. perhaps ice skating at the Pond in Bryant Park would do? check it out:

otherwise, board games would be nice. everyone would be welcome at my place, or we could all be dorks in public…makes no difference to me!

Hey, I like the idea of ice skating at Bryant Park. I also know that there is a Christmas market in Bryant Park, so if we get bored we can peruse the stalls (Katie’s working there this month). I think it sounds great!
