That sounds like a good time. I probably won't be able to go (kids, job, etc) but you mentioning the Original X-large store reminded me of the time in 1994 that my college photography class took a day trip to NYC. We were supposed to go to the Metro Museum of Art but once we got off the bus we were on our own. My friend Justin wanted to find that store so bad. We spent all freaking day looking for it. After a few 40's (don't ask me how we got them...it wasn't that hard...lol) we found it and he got his shirt and hat that he wanted. To this day I couldn't tell you the address. I was too wasted. Never did make it the museum.

Alright! A date is set!

Thanks Jason!

Oh I wanted to mention. If you do start to get a lot of replies about this event and it's promoted well, you might want to think of putting together a fb page which might help keep the word out better and we see who all is coming etc... talk more about plans. A lot of people aren't on this forum but almost everybody using fb..... just some advice.

[HiPlnsDrftr]

ditto on the FB page advice. Not all Beastie fans are members of this board.

After seeing pictures at Union Square today from Mca Day, I really want to go bad.

I'm 19 with no money, no car, can't even rent out a hotel unless you're 21. It sucks a lot. I'd be living in NY if I could be

Get a job and take a bus.

Anyone want to make a cool graphic for the FB page?

Also, I think some Bboy karaoke may be in order after Arrow. Anyone know a good spot?

If nobody does it I can have a really nice one done for you. A friend of mine is a graphic artist for websites. She's doing a lot of Beastie/MCA wallpapers for me. Just tell me what photo/text you want on it.

LOL.

Thanks for setting this up.

Just curious....no bar/club in NYC is willing to play the Beastie Boys for more than 2 hours?

Hey Jason, any events planed for Canada?

[Lucky17]

I'm new to this forum, but I've been a HUGE BBoy fan since I was a kid. Count me in for this. After photographing and meeting AdRock at MCADAY this weekend, I need more. Would love to meet and hang out with some of you!

[WolfWoman]

I would totally be up for this.

[JoLovesMCA]

So the day tour would be on the 4th as well correct? I think then maybe I will fly in on the 3rd and Jason nothing is planned Sunday right? Then I would book my flight back home on that day. If anybody is going to be there Friday let me know, maybe some of us can meet up that day too.

I plan on traveling home on Sunday as well. Not sure if I will be there on Friday or not. I will put together an itinerary for the day...really it's just a few hours of touring around to different sites and then the party at night.

In regards to nobody playing the boys for more than 2 hours...I reached out to a few places and Saturday is their busiest night so they weren't able to accommodate us for the whole night. If someone has the inside scoop as to a place that would play the boys all night let me know and we can switch it up.

Jo- I'll let you know about the graphic this week. Thanks!

[CHECKHEAD2004]

Sounds like a perfect weekend and Adams Birthday is the 5th. I will ask my friend about places. There may be some places in Brooklyn that would do it if people are willing to go there.

[JasonP]

I was hoping to get some local help.

[JoLovesMCA]

Okay Jason sounds good. I will hold off mentioning it anymore until everything is solid so that way folks aren't confused! I did get some feedback on facebook and some fans were saying that they were going to clear their schedules to attend.

I imagine that August will be the first time me hearing Beastie Boys music again because here at home I can control it, but at this event I won't be able to. I will prepare myself. I have enough time to prepare.

[JasonP]

It will be a nice time for everyone. I just would like to get the opportunity to spend some time with other fans...only other times this would happen is for their shows.

Arrow Bar should be great...but I am willing to give it a few days to see if someone can come up with something better...either way Aug 4 we will be partying to some Beastie Boys.

P.S. I invited Jim Shearer through email...we should put some pressure on him to make an appearance.

[CHECKHEAD2004]

My friend who lives in Brooklyn is doing some research. Shes pretty sure she will find us a place that will let us do anything we want with the right number if people. Will keep u posted

[JasonP]

I think we are going to get a pretty nice turn out. Let me know asap so we can lock down the details. Thanks so much!

[JoLovesMCA]

So excited. I noticed everything falling into place for this event like with the park thing coming into play and having the opportunity to appreciate and experience these great things about Yauch and the Beasties together. Mike (MCADAY) told me that everything was perfect that day when Adrock came down. He said the sun was shining and he truly believed that Yauch's light was shining down on them..

And he said it was lowkey, nobody was making Adrock feel like he was on display. I just love hearing that.

[M|X|Y]

do you guys think that if the park gets renamed that this would be a good opportunity for such a gathering?

i guess there would be some sort of ceremony or someshit
