poughkeepsie, ny 6/7/04

[redstar213]

hey everyone,

I am looking for some info (more if possible) about weather or not there was a poster printed for this show. It was at the Chance in Poughkeepsie,NY 6/7/04. I was at the show and did not see one (sold out?) I figured that there was not one printed for this small tour but I have found out that some of the other dates from this string of shows do have posters that were printed up. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Would love to locate it for my collection.

thanks,

I could be wrong, but I don't think so. We are not terribly posterish here in the PKNY, and there was no problem selling tickets to that show.

I don't remember seeing one, either.

"We are not terribly posterish here in the PKNY"

 

you are a riot.

 

i was born and grew up in poughkeepsie. it wasn't terribly posterish then, either. total strangers, not knowing i'm from poughkeepsie, have made many jokes to me about poughkeepsie. an old boyfriend in mass. who turned out to be lousy said, on our first meeting when i apparently came out with something stupid, "where are you from?!? poughkeepsie?!?" another guy, from brooklyn, had parents who would threaten to send him "up the river to poughkeepsie" if he didn't knock off whatever he was doing wrong. (he moved to chicago and now has many jeff tweedy tales.)

 

jeff should write a song about poughkeepsie.

What the hell did Popeye Doyle mean by "picking your feet in Poughkeepsie", anyway?

 

 

I don't remember seeing a poster, either. And I'm pretty sure I would have bought one if there was one available, having spent some quality time in Poughkeepsie, myself.

Greetings. I live in Hyde Park now, but Das Heimat is the north side/Fairview section. If anyone asks where I'm from, I usually just say "the next town up the line from Poughkeepsie." Nobody has made a joke about it to me in a long time, which is a good thing, because if they did, I would have to challenge them to a duel.

And, I would give quite a bit for an mp3 of that old song, "Poughkeepsie, City of Sin."

i thought you HAD to be kidding, but googled the song and there it was in the wikipedia entry for poughkeepsie -- the first thing i've learned today. is it "city of sin" because someone thought that something actually happens on hooker avenue where i went to kindergarten.

 

when my poughkeepsie parents wanted to impress out-of-town visitors (not often), they couldn't think of anything to do in poughkeepsie. so they'd take them to the roosevelt and vanderbilt mansions in hyde park.

 

i'm very fond of poughkeepsie, but if jeff tweedy can take his gang there i don't know why he doesn't throw southern maine, where i am now, into a tour.

I don't want to get into details, but I have sinned quite a bit in Poughkeepsie. I think the Wilco show there might have been driven by the availability of a venue like The Chance, but a fantasy double bill for me would be Wilco and the Cowboy Junkies at the Bardavon.
