The long-awaited news about Electric Daisy Carnival New York has finally been spilled. Insomniac has announced that this year's festival will be returning to New York proper at Citi Field in Queens rather than returning to last year's location at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. As of now, EDC NY is taking place over two days on May 17 and 18 but could potentially turn into three days as last year's was slated for two but quickly added another day after selling out within minutes.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 8th at 12pm EST. Two-day general admission tickets will start out at $159 with VIP tickets selling at $299 (before service fees) and a limited number of single-day tickets will be available at a later date. For more information visit here.
I have had a really fun week! I went to the last Mets night game on Tuesday (say what you want about them this season, but I have faith next season will be their season!! ), they played the Cincinnati Reds. It's no secret that I have a major crush on David Wright. While I always see a lot of Athletes at the clubs, he is one I have never seen and am dying to meet out. I hear from my friends who work for the Mets, he's actually a really nice guy too. David, if you're reading this or if someone who knows David Wright is reading this, PLEASE contact me. I'm so obsessed with you, I want your game worn pants so I can sleep in them. I'm not creepy, I swear…
Bird Names & Bubbly Mommy Gun, two names that will be dripping from conversations of the in-crowd come prime time this Fall. They hail all the way from the creative gene pool of Athens, Georgia.
They will be making their North Eastern debut in New York City Saturday Oct. 1st (at Northern Spy Records Festival at Citi Field), Sunday Oct. 2nd (a special 3pm showcase at the PS1 Space at the MoMA), and for a live set on WFMU 91.1fm (Monday, Oct. 3rd at 11am) as part of their Atlantic coast "All-Stars of Fringe Pop" tour.
Bird Names tours in support of their fifth full-length, "Metabolism: a Salute to the Energy of the Sun" (Northern Spy Records, 2011), which has been noted as "a mind-blowing'. Formed in mid-2000s Chicago, art pop veterans Bird Names has produced a series of highly-recommended low fi albums and toured extensively. The "All-Stars of Fringe Pop Tour" marks the live debut of the extra heavy Bird Names Psychedelic Big Band. Which features a 6-piece band playing taut compositions, composed of three guitarists, two drummers, & a keyboardist.
With the argument of who has the better new ballpark- Citi Field or Yankee Stadium, comes another quarrel. Who has the better food?! There is nothing like going to a ball game and grabbing some great fare while you are at it. With the development of brand new stadiums for both the Mets and the Yankees comes brand new menus. Fans are no longer satisfied with the old time food of a hot dog or cheeseburger. They want something new, something better, especially if paying close to 15 bucks a person on top of the rising cost of ticket prices.
